Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of shale oil development and production in oil and gas fields, and relates to a method for analyzing the occurrence state of a core during oil reservoir displacement, and specifically to a method for analyzing the occurrence state of oil / water / gas during oil reservoir displacement. Background Art
[0002] As the "blood of industry", oil is closely related to economic development, social progress and energy security. With the development of social economy, human dependence on coal and oil is still increasing. However, the oil reserves in existing oil fields are decreasing. Therefore, more research is needed to improve the recovery rate of oil in oil reservoirs.
[0003] At present, the remaining reserves of conventional oil and gas resources are decreasing day by day, and the exploitation of unconventional oil and gas resources such as tight oil and shale oil with huge reserves has begun to become the focus of scholars and oilfield production. Shale is not suitable for water flooding due to its characteristics such as the development of micro-nano pores, extremely low permeability and porosity. CO2 can reduce the viscosity and interfacial tension of crude oil, which is an effective way to improve the recovery rate of unconventional shale reservoirs. At the same time, the impact of CO2 as a greenhouse gas on the environment is becoming increasingly significant. Injecting CO2 into oil and gas reservoirs can not only effectively improve the recovery rate of crude oil but also achieve emission reduction effects. It is a win-win project for economic and social benefits.
[0004] With the continuous deepening of CO2 oil recovery, the distribution and phase characteristics of oil, gas and water in the pore space of the reservoir have changed accordingly. The occurrence state of oil, gas and water has become more complicated and has affected the oil recovery efficiency to a certain extent. Therefore, the study of the occurrence state is the basis for clarifying the characteristics of micro-nanoscale reservoirs and developing targeted gas injection strategies to increase oil production.
[0005] In recent years, nuclear magnetic resonance experiments have shown the state of fluid in pore throats: large pores are mainly filled with free flow and bound flow in capillaries, medium pores are mainly occupied by bound flow with a small amount of free flow and electrochemical bound flow, and micropores are mainly electrochemical bound flow, which provides support for a clear understanding of the state of crude oil in micro-nano pores. However, shale oil exists in nano-scale pores in tight reservoirs, and traditional experimental methods are difficult to accurately analyze at the nanoscale level. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method is an effective means to study the behavior of fluid-solid interfaces. It can observe microscopic phenomena at the molecular scale and avoid multi-factor problems in the experimental process.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an analysis method, using the molecular dynamics simulation method to explore the influence of the storage and displacement environment on oil and gas displacement from a microscopic perspective, and by changing reservoir conditions such as temperature, pressure, and pore structure, the oil / gas / water storage state of CO2 in the process of oil displacement in micro-nano reservoirs is analyzed and summarized from the perspectives of density distribution and adsorption characteristics. Summary of the invention
[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for analyzing the occurrence state of cores in the process of oil recovery. The analysis method can clearly and intuitively display the occurrence state of oil / gas / water at each stage in the CO2 recovery process; and can further explore the influence of environmental factors and pore type differences on the occurrence state of cores in micro-nano scale oil reservoirs by changing reservoir conditions such as temperature, pressure, and pore structure.
[0008] To achieve this object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0024] Preferably, the reservoir shale pore structure model in step (1) includes a micro-nano reservoir shale pore structure model.
[0025] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the hydrophilic operation includes: connecting a hydrogen atom to each oxygen atom on the silicon dioxide molecular structure to achieve surface hydroxylation.
[0026] The present invention realizes the hydrophilicity of the reservoir shale pore model by hydroxylation of the silicon dioxide surface, so that the constructed wall surface is more consistent with the shale characteristics in actual conditions.
[0027] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulation in step (2) is performed using LAMMPS.
[0028] Preferably, the NVT ensemble is used in the equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulation in step (2).
[0029] Preferably, the temperature of the Nosé-Hoover thermostat in the NVT ensemble is set to 320-350K, for example, it can be 320K, 325K, 330K, 335K, 340K, 345K or 350K, but is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0030] Preferably, the pressure of the Nosé-Hoover thermostat in the NVT ensemble is set at 15 to 25 MPa, for example, 15 MPa, 17 MPa, 19 MPa, 21 MPa, 23 MPa or 25 MPa, but is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.
[0031] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the end point of the equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulation is: energy minimization of the oil phase, the water phase and the gas phase respectively.
[0032] The present invention uses equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulation to optimize the initial states of oil and water phases in shale pores, minimizes the energy of the oil phase, water phase and gas phase respectively, and obtains the basic environment for CO2 flooding.

[0037] It is worth noting that the present invention simulates the shale reservoir in the unconventional oil reservoir. The special properties of shale rock, its porosity and permeability are very low, which makes it difficult for water to flow in the reservoir. Therefore, the water content in the shale reservoir is relatively low. Normally, the water content of unconventional shale reservoirs can be as low as 5% or lower. And there is a water-free production period in the reservoir, and the water content at this time is less than 2%, which can be regarded as 0% water-free. When the water content is low, the influence of water can be ignored during the simulation, and only the occurrence state of crude oil is explored. The high water content in the present invention is to simulate the large amount of water in the reservoir after hydraulic fracturing.

Typical but non-limiting combinations include a combination of density and interaction energy, a combination of density and residence time, a combination of interaction energy and residence time, or a combination of density, interaction energy and residence time.
[0040] Preferably, the residence time is the residence time of the oil phase molecules in the adsorption layer.
[0041] It is worth mentioning that for conventional fracture pores, the existence form of each phase in the pore is mainly clarified through parameters such as molecular density distribution, interaction energy, and molecular residence time in the adsorption layer; for irregular pore structures such as wedge-shaped and connected pores, the molecular density image cannot intuitively display the adsorption layers such as oil film and water film formed by oil and water molecules near the wall. Therefore, a two-dimensional density map is drawn to more intuitively observe the adsorption state and occurrence state of each phase.
[0042] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the method for analyzing the core occurrence state during oil reservoir displacement comprises the following steps:
[0043] (1) Use Material Studio software to construct a reservoir shale pore structure model;

[0047] (3) Based on step (2), non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulation is performed, and the CO2 flooding process is simulated using LAMMPS software;
[0048] Among them, during the CO2 flooding process, the CO2 displacement pressure is 10-35MPa, the temperature is 320-350K, and the water content in the reservoir is 0%-80%;

Due to space limitations and for the sake of simplicity, the present invention no longer exhaustively lists the specific point values included in the range.
