Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of shale oil and gas reservoir development, and specifically to a wettability testing method, device and equipment. Background Art
[0002] Reservoir wettability is a key factor affecting the development of unconventional shale oil and gas resources, controlling the distribution and seepage of fluids in reservoir fractures and pores. However, due to the heterogeneity of organic-rich shale reservoirs, their wettability is affected by the distribution and combination of inorganic and organic matter, making it difficult to fully characterize the wettability of shale reservoirs.
[0003] Existing methods include direct measurement and indirect evaluation. Direct measurement methods usually use experimental methods to directly measure the contact angle of solid surfaces to describe wettability, including sessile droplets, trapped bubbles, μ-CT, and micromodels. Indirect evaluation methods usually collect data related to the contact angle of solid surfaces to evaluate the contact angle to describe wettability, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Amott index method, USBM method, and Lak index method.
[0004] For the above methods, direct measurement is the most commonly used method in oil and gas development, but it is limited in characterizing the wettability of multi-component rocks, and the contact angle measured directly is easily affected by the surface roughness, temperature, pressure and pH of the sample. The indirect evaluation method is also unable to accurately measure the wettability of rocks at the microfacies scale. Therefore, how to establish a simple and fast method for testing the wettability of rock organic matter at the microfacies scale, and then accurately test the wettability of organic-rich rocks in different reservoir environments is a key issue that needs to be solved urgently.

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this specification to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this specification, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of this specification.
[0022] Figure 1 The figure is a flow chart of the wettability test method. When implemented, the method includes the following steps:
[0023] S101: Acquire a first adhesion force and a second adhesion force between the probe tip and a sampling point on the surface of the organic sample.
[0024] In some embodiments, before obtaining the first adhesion force and the second adhesion force between the probe tip and the sampling point on the surface of the organic sample, the organic sample can be cut and sampled to produce an organic sample of a size that meets the requirements of the atomic force microscope, and the cut surface of the organic sample can be mechanically milled, subjected to argon ion milling by an ion thinning instrument, and dried in an oven at 60° C. for 24 hours. The organic sample includes a shale organic sample, and the sampling point includes a point on the surface of the organic sample.
[0025] The organic sample can be preliminarily observed using a microscope or the naked eye to determine the area that needs to be cut and mark the cutting line. The shale sample can be fixed on the cutter to ensure stability without shaking. The cutting speed, feed rate and other parameters of the cutter can be adjusted according to the hardness and brittleness of the organic sample, and the cutting can be performed along the marked cutting line, and the cutting surface should be kept flat and vertical. Coarser abrasive sandpaper (such as 120 mesh, 240 mesh) can be used to preliminarily grind the cut surface to remove cutting marks and uneven parts. Finer abrasive sandpaper (such as 400 mesh, 800 mesh, 1200 mesh) can be gradually replaced to further grind the cut surface until the cut surface is relatively smooth. After preliminary mechanical sectioning, an ion thinning instrument can be used for argon ion sectioning. The ion beam energy, beam density, bombardment time and other parameters can be adjusted based on the material of the organic sample to smooth and polish the cut surface. Argon ion profiling is a high-precision sample surface treatment technology. Argon ion profiling uses high-energy argon ion beams to bombard the sample surface, remove surface materials and tiny scratches and defects that may be left by mechanical profiling through physical sputtering, and achieve a polishing effect at the same time. This method can remove tiny scratches and defects left by mechanical profiling, making the sample surface smoother and flatter. The size of the organic sample can be measured using a vernier caliper or microscope micrometer to ensure that it meets the observation requirements of the atomic force microscope. If further adjustment of the size is required, the grinding and argon ion profiling can be repeated until the required size is reached. After determining that the size of the organic sample meets the requirements, the organic sample can be placed in an oven to dry, thereby removing moisture or other volatile substances that may be adsorbed by the organic sample during the argon ion profiling process. The oven temperature of 60°C can be selected to effectively remove moisture without causing thermal damage to most samples. The drying time can be set to 24 hours to ensure that the organic sample is fully dried to avoid problems caused by residual moisture during subsequent observation or analysis.
[0026] Through a series of processing steps including mechanical grinding, argon ion polishing and drying, organic samples with flat, smooth and dry surfaces can be prepared, providing a high-quality sample basis for subsequent microscopic observation and organic wettability analysis.
[0027] In some embodiments, before obtaining the first adhesion force and the second adhesion force between the probe tip and the sampling point on the surface of the organic sample, the processed organic sample may be placed on an atomic force microscope stage and the atomic force microscope probe may be calibrated.
[0028] On the premise of ensuring that the stage of the atomic force microscope is clean and free of impurities, the processed organic sample can be placed on the stage using tweezers or a special sample holding tool. Make sure that the sample surface is parallel to the stage and that the sample position is stable and does not move or tilt during scanning. The probe of the atomic force microscope can be mounted on the probe arm, and make sure that the appropriate distance between the probe tip and the sample surface is maintained. The shape and state of the probe tip can be checked using the imaging system of the atomic force microscope to ensure that the probe tip is not damaged, contaminated or deformed. Based on the option of the atomic force microscope probe calibration, the calibration procedure can be started to make the probe contact the sample surface, measure the contact force, adjust the scanning parameters, etc. A calibration evaluation report for the atomic force microscope or can be obtained to check whether the contact force, scanning speed, scanning range, etc. in the report are as expected, and can be adjusted as needed.
[0029] By placing the processed organic sample on the atomic force microscope stage and performing probe calibration, it can be ensured that the probe can accurately sense the morphology of the organic sample surface and produce reliable measurement results, providing a high-quality measurement basis for subsequent wettability analysis of the organic sample.
[0030] In some embodiments, before obtaining the first adhesion force and the second adhesion force between the probe tip and the sampling point on the surface of the organic sample, a research area on the surface of the organic sample may be determined; the research area includes a plurality of sampling points.
[0031] The surface of the organic sample can be imaged by the tapping mode of the atomic force microscope, and the research area can be determined by comparing the surface of the organic sample with the scanning electron microscope. The tapping mode of the atomic force microscope reduces damage to the sample and improves the imaging resolution by vibrating the probe at a certain frequency and gently tapping the sample surface. The scanning parameters such as the scanning range, scanning speed, probe vibration frequency and amplitude of the atomic force microscope can be adjusted according to the hardness and brittleness of the organic sample. By allowing the probe to perform topographic imaging in the organic area, the small displacement changes when the probe interacts with the surface of the organic sample can be obtained, so that a three-dimensional topographic map of the surface of the organic sample can be constructed. After the three-dimensional topographic map of the surface of the organic sample is generated by the atomic force microscope, a scanning electron microscope can be used to observe a part of the surface of the organic sample according to the three-dimensional topographic map generated by the atomic force microscope or prior knowledge to generate an observation image, and the generated observation image can be a high-resolution observation image. Prior knowledge can be, for example, a relatively smooth area suitable for observation that is pre-marked with a dividing line. Compared with atomic force microscopy, the resolution of scanning electron microscopy can reach the nanometer level, even close to the atomic level. Scanning electron microscopy can provide a wider field of view and deeper information about organic samples, such as surface morphology, chemical composition, and crystal structure. SEM can provide a wider field of view and deeper sample information, such as surface morphology, chemical composition, and crystal structure. The high-resolution observation image generated by the scanning electron microscope can be compared with the three-dimensional morphology map generated by the atomic force microscope. According to the image area with a roughness less than or equal to the set roughness threshold in the high-resolution observation image generated by the electron microscope, the corresponding research area can be further determined in the three-dimensional morphology map generated by the atomic force microscope. Roughness can indicate the degree of undulation of the image area. The roughness of the image area can be obtained by calculating the variance of the image area, or the standard deviation. For example, the high-resolution observation image can be grayed, and the standard deviation in each image area can be calculated to obtain the roughness of each image area, and then the image area with a roughness less than the set roughness threshold can be selected as the research area. Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 The plane morphology of the study area on the surface of the shale organic matter sample under dry conditions is shown. Figure 3 The three-dimensional morphology of the study area on the surface of a shale organic matter sample under dry conditions is shown.
[0032] By comparing the high-resolution images produced by the scanning electron microscope with the three-dimensional topography produced by the atomic force microscope, a more appropriate research area as well as the precise location and scope can be determined.
[0033] In some embodiments, a dried organic sample can be obtained; a first adhesion force between the probe tip and a sampling point in a study area of the organic sample under dry conditions can be obtained; a wetted organic sample can be obtained; and a second adhesion force between the probe tip and a sampling point in a study area of the organic sample under wet conditions can be obtained.
[0034] After determining the research area on the surface of the organic matter sample, the organic matter sample can be directly obtained after mechanical grinding, argon ion profiling and drying and placed on the stage of the atomic force microscope for testing in a dry state.
[0035] In some embodiments, the viscoelastic properties of the surface of an organic sample can be evaluated by the interaction force between the probe and the sample surface.
[0036] The surface adhesion test can be performed on all sampling points in the study area of the organic sample under dry conditions by the AFM viscoelastic mapping mode. The AFM works by the interaction force between the probe and the sample surface. In the viscoelastic mapping mode, the AFM not only measures static or dynamic vertical forces, but also evaluates the viscoelastic properties of the sample surface, including adhesion and energy dissipation, through specific loading and unloading processes. The speed at which the probe tip approaches and leaves the sample surface and the force applied when the probe tip contacts the sample surface can be set to control the dynamic process of the test. The first adhesion force between the probe tip and the sampling points in the study area of the organic sample under dry conditions can be obtained in real time from the AFM during the dynamic process. Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 An adhesion image of 16×16 sampling points of the study area of shale organic matter samples under dry conditions is shown.
[0037] After obtaining the first adhesion force corresponding to all sampling points in the study area of the surface of the organic sample under dry conditions, the dry organic sample can be removed from the stage of the atomic force microscope. The dry organic sample can be placed in an atmosphere with a relative humidity of 97% (20°C, -0.95MPa) provided by a supersaturated potassium sulfate solution to wet the sample. The relative humidity is set to 97%, which means that the water vapor content in the air is very close to the saturated vapor pressure of water at this temperature, so the sample can fully absorb moisture and achieve a good wetting effect. The temperature is set to 20°C to maintain the stability and repeatability of the experimental conditions. By placing the dry organic sample in an environment with a relative humidity of 97% and a temperature of 20°C provided by a supersaturated potassium sulfate solution, the sample can fully absorb moisture and achieve the purpose of wetting. The wetted organic sample can be placed on the stage of the atomic force microscope again, and the appropriate scanning parameters such as scanning speed, scanning range, and resolution can be selected to scan and image the study area of the organic sample. The scanned image can be compared with the previously recorded scanned image of the study area under dry conditions to confirm that the scanned area is indeed the study area. Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 The plane morphology of the study area on the surface of the shale organic matter sample under wet conditions is shown. Figure 6 The three-dimensional morphology of the study area on the surface of the shale organic matter sample under wet conditions is shown.
[0038] The surface adhesion force test can be performed on all sampling points in the organic sample study area under wetting conditions by the AFM viscoelastic mapping mode. The speed at which the probe tip approaches and leaves the sample surface and the force applied when the probe tip contacts the sample surface can be set to control the dynamic process of the test. The secondary adhesion force between the probe tip and the sampling points in the organic sample study area under wetting conditions can be obtained in real time from the AFM during the dynamic process. Figure 7 , Figure 7 Adhesion force images of 16×16 sampling points in the study area of shale organic matter samples under wet conditions are shown.
[0039] By obtaining the first adhesion force and the second adhesion force between the probe tip and the sampling point in dry and wet conditions respectively, a measurement foundation is laid for characterizing the adhesion work between the probe tip and the surface of the organic sample in dry and wet conditions based on the adhesive contact theory.
[0040] S102: Calculating a first adhesion work between the probe tip and the surface of the organic sample according to the first adhesion force, and calculating a second adhesion work between the probe tip and the surface of the organic sample according to the second adhesion force.
[0041] In some embodiments, an implicit relationship between the adhesion force and the adhesion work between two solid surfaces can be established based on the JKR adhesive contact theory, as shown in the following formula:
[0042]
[0043] Where: F is the adhesion force between two solid surfaces; r is the effective contact radius of the two solid surfaces; W is the adhesion work between the two solid surfaces. The JKR adhesive contact theory characterizes the existence of an elastic deformation region between two solid surfaces. This deformation region is called the contact region. In the contact region, due to the effect of surface energy, the two solid surfaces will attract each other and generate adhesion force. In the contact region, the conversion relationship between the adhesion force and adhesion work between the two solid surfaces can be calculated by formula (1).
[0044] In some embodiments, the first adhesion work and the second adhesion work may be calculated according to the following formula based on the JKR adhesive contact theory:
[0045]
[0046] Where: is the first adhesion force between the probe tip and the sampling point in the organic sample research area under dry conditions; R is the radius of curvature of the probe tip; is the first adhesion work between the probe tip and the surface of the organic sample in a dry state; is a second adhesion force between the probe tip and a sampling point in the organic sample study area under a wetted condition; It is the second adhesion work between the probe tip and the surface of the organic sample under wet conditions.
[0047] By calculating the adhesion work corresponding to the dry and wet conditions, a data foundation was laid for the subsequent establishment of the first adhesion model and the determination of the wettability of the surface of organic samples.
[0048] S103: Determine the wettability of the surface of the organic sample according to the first adhesion work and the second adhesion work.
[0049] In some embodiments, a first contact angle of the liquid at the probe tip can be obtained; based on the first contact angle, a third adhesion work between the probe tip and the liquid surface can be calculated; based on the first adhesion work, the second adhesion work and the third adhesion work, the second contact angle of the liquid on the organic sample surface can be calculated; and the wettability of the organic sample surface can be determined based on the second contact angles corresponding to all sampling points in the organic sample research area.
[0050] By calculating the second contact angle of the liquid on the surface of the organic sample through the first adhesion work, the second adhesion work and the third adhesion work, the wettability of the sampling point in the organic sample research area can be determined simply and conveniently, and then the wettability of the organic sample surface can be determined.
[0051] When the surface adhesion test is performed on all sampling points in the surface study area of the organic sample under wetting conditions through the atomic force microscope viscoelastic mapping mode, the atomic force microscope can display the first contact angle of the liquid at the probe tip corresponding to any sampling point position in real time, and then the first contact angle of the liquid at the probe tip corresponding to any sampling point position in the surface study area of the organic sample can be obtained.
[0052] The third adhesion work between the probe tip and the liquid surface can be defined as the surface energy of the probe tip plus the surface energy of the liquid minus the interfacial energy between the probe tip and the liquid surface, as shown in the following formula:
[0053]
[0054] Where: is the third adhesion work between the probe tip and the liquid surface; γ tip is the surface energy of the probe tip; γ water is the surface energy of the liquid; γ tip,water is the interfacial energy between the probe tip and the liquid surface.
[0055] Based on Young's equation, the surface energy of the probe tip can be expressed as the sum of the interfacial energy between the probe tip and the liquid surface and the surface energy of the liquid multiplied by the cosine value of the first contact angle of the liquid at the probe tip, as shown in the following formula:
[0056]
[0057] Where: γ tip is the surface energy of the probe tip; γ tip,water is the interfacial energy between the probe tip and the liquid surface; γ water is the surface energy of the liquid; is the first contact angle of the liquid at the probe tip. Young's equation can be defined as the surface energy of the solid equal to the sum of the interfacial energy between the solid surface and the liquid surface and the surface energy of the liquid multiplied by the cosine of the contact angle of the liquid on the solid surface.
[0058] Formula (5) can be substituted into formula (4) to obtain the following formula:
[0059]
[0060] Where: is the third adhesion work between the probe tip and the liquid surface; γ wateris the surface energy of the liquid; is the second contact angle of the liquid on the probe tip.
[0061] After obtaining the first contact angle of the liquid at the probe tip corresponding to any sampling point in the organic sample surface study area, the third adhesion work between the probe tip and the liquid surface corresponding to any sampling point in the organic sample surface study area can be determined by the above formula (8).
[0062] In some embodiments, when the first adhesion work, the second adhesion work, the third adhesion work and the liquid surface energy are determined, the second contact angle of the liquid on the surface of the organic sample at any sampling point can be calculated.
[0063] The contact angle can be a measure of the degree of wetting of a solid surface by a liquid. The contact angle can be the angle between the liquid-solid interface and the tangent line of the liquid surface when the liquid forms a specific shape on the solid surface. When the contact angle is less than 90 degrees, it means that the solid is wetted by the liquid, and the smaller the angle, the better the wettability. When the contact angle is equal to 0 degrees, it means complete wetting, that is, the liquid spreads freely on the solid surface. When the contact angle is greater than 90 degrees, it means that the liquid does not wet the solid, and the larger the angle, the stronger the non-wettability. When the contact angle is equal to 180 degrees, it means no wetting at all.
[0064] The second contact angle of the liquid on the surface of the organic sample at any sampling point can be calculated according to the following formula:
[0065]
[0066] Where: is the second contact angle of the liquid on the surface of the organic sample; arccos(·) is the inverse cosine function; is the first adhesion work between the probe tip and the sampling point surface; is the second adhesion work between the probe tip and the surface of the organic sample; is the third adhesion work between the probe tip and the liquid surface; is the fourth adhesion work between the organic sample surface and the liquid surface; γ water is the surface energy of the liquid.
[0067] Based on the above formula (9), the second contact angle corresponding to all sampling points in the organic sample research area can be calculated. Figure 8 , Figure 8The contact angle of the liquid on the surface of the organic sample calculated for all sampling points in the shale organic sample study area based on formula (9) is shown. The second contact angles corresponding to all sampling points are fused to obtain a third contact angle that can characterize the wettability of the surface of the organic sample. The fusion can be a simple arithmetic average of the second contact angle data corresponding to all sampling points, or a more complex weighted superposition. For example, the arithmetic average of the second contact angle data corresponding to all sampling points can be taken to generate a third contact angle that can characterize the wettability of the surface of the organic sample, and then the wettability of the surface of the organic sample can be measured. For another example, a weight factor can be assigned to different sampling points based on the three-dimensional morphological characteristics of the area where each sampling point is located. Specifically, the fluctuation variance of the area can be calculated based on the three-dimensional morphological characteristics of the area where each sampling point is located, the inverse of the fluctuation variance is taken, and the fluctuation variance after taking the inverse of all sampling points is normalized, and then the weight factor corresponding to each sampling point can be obtained. The weight factor of each sampling point can also be calculated according to other methods, which will not be repeated here. A weighted average value can be taken according to the second contact angle data corresponding to each sampling point and the weight factor to generate a third contact angle that can characterize the wettability of the surface of the organic sample, and then the wettability of the surface of the organic sample can be determined.
[0068] In some embodiments, a fourth work of adhesion between the surface of the organic sample and the surface of the liquid can be calculated based on the first work of adhesion, the second work of adhesion, and the third work of adhesion; and a second contact angle of the liquid on the surface of the organic sample can be calculated based on the fourth work of adhesion.
[0069] In some embodiments, a first contact angle of the liquid at the probe tip can be obtained; a third adhesion work between the probe tip and the liquid surface can be calculated based on the first contact angle; and a fourth adhesion work between the organic sample surface and the liquid surface can be calculated based on the following formula, provided that the first adhesion work, the second adhesion work, and the third adhesion work are determined:
[0070]
[0071] Where: is the fourth adhesion work between the surface of the organic sample and the surface of the liquid; is the first adhesion work between the probe tip and the surface of the organic sample in a dry state; is the second adhesion work between the probe tip and the surface of the organic sample in a wet state; is the third adhesion work between the probe tip and the liquid surface; γ water Is a constant quantity representing the surface energy of the liquid.
[0072] The fourth adhesion work between the organic sample surface and the liquid surface is calculated through the first adhesion work, the second adhesion work and the third adhesion work, which lays a data foundation for the subsequent calculation of the second contact angle of the liquid on the organic sample surface.
[0073] The fourth adhesion work between the organic sample surface and the liquid surface can be defined as the surface energy of the organic sample surface plus the surface energy of the liquid minus the interfacial energy between the organic sample surface and the liquid surface, as shown in the following formula:
[0074]
[0075] Where: is the fourth adhesion work between the organic sample surface and the liquid surface; γ sample is the surface energy of the organic sample surface; γ water is the surface energy of the liquid; γ sample,water is the interfacial energy between the organic sample surface and the liquid surface.
[0076] Based on Young's equation, the surface energy of the organic sample surface can be expressed as the sum of the interfacial energy between the organic sample surface and the liquid surface and the surface energy of the liquid multiplied by the cosine value of the second contact angle of the liquid on the organic sample surface, as shown in the following formula:
[0077]
[0078] Where: γ sample is the surface energy of the sampling point; γ sample,water is the interfacial energy between the organic sample surface and the liquid surface; γ water is the surface energy of the liquid; is the second contact angle of the liquid on the surface of the organic sample.
[0079] Formula (12) can be substituted into formula (11) to obtain the following formula:
[0080]
[0081] Where: is the fourth adhesion work between the organic sample surface and the liquid surface; γ water is the surface energy of the liquid; is the second contact angle of the liquid on the surface of the organic sample.
[0082] Based on formula (15), the following formula can be obtained:
[0083]
[0084] Where: is the second contact angle of the liquid on the surface of the organic sample; is the fourth adhesion work between the organic sample surface and the liquid surface; γ water is the surface energy of the liquid.
[0085] In some embodiments, under the premise that the fourth adhesion work between the organic sample surface and the liquid surface in the organic sample research area is determined, the second contact angle of the liquid on the organic sample surface can be determined using formula (16). The second contact angles corresponding to all sampling points in the organic sample research area can be calculated using formula (16), and then the second contact angles corresponding to all sampling points can be merged to determine the wettability of the organic sample surface.
[0086] By directly calculating the second contact angle of the liquid on the surface of the organic sample through the fourth adhesion work, the wettability near the sampling point in the organic sample research area can be simply and conveniently determined, and then the wettability of the organic sample surface can be determined.
[0087] The second adhesion work between the probe tip and the organic sample surface under wetting conditions can be defined as the sum of the interfacial energy between the probe tip and the organic sample surface, the interfacial energy between the probe tip and the liquid surface, and the interfacial energy between the organic sample surface and the liquid surface, as shown in the following formula:
[0088]
[0089] Where: is the second adhesion work between the probe tip and the surface of the organic sample; γ tip,sample is the interfacial energy between the probe tip and the surface of the organic sample; γ tip,water is the interfacial energy between the probe tip and the liquid surface; γ sample,water is the interfacial energy between the organic sample surface and the liquid surface.
[0090] Based on the above formula (4) and formula (11), we can get as well as These two expressions can be substituted into the above formula (17) to obtain the following formula:
[0091]
[0092] Where: is the second adhesion work between the probe tip and the surface of the organic sample; γ tip,sample is the interfacial energy between the probe tip and the surface of the organic sample; γ tip is the surface energy of the probe tip; γ sample is the surface energy of the sampling point; is the third adhesion work between the probe tip and the liquid surface; is the fourth adhesion work between the organic sample surface and the liquid surface; γ water is the surface energy of the liquid.
[0093] The first adhesion work between the probe tip and the organic sample surface under dry conditions can be defined as the sum of the surface energy of the probe tip, the surface energy of the organic sample surface, and the interface energy between the probe tip and the organic sample surface. The specific formula is as follows:
[0094]
