Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of carbon dioxide storage, and in particular relates to an injection well system and a storage method for storing carbon dioxide in a seabed sediment layer. Background Art

[0003] In order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, carbon capture and storage (CCUS) technology must be implemented, so CCUS technology has become an essential way to save energy and reduce emissions. This technology is being applied in various ways around the world and has achieved significant reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. This technology has three main processes: (1) capturing carbon dioxide from large emission point sources; (2) compressing and transporting the captured carbon dioxide; and (3) injecting and storing the captured carbon dioxide at a storage site. The storage process of CCUS technology involves a variety of storage technologies, among which marine storage has become a research hotspot in recent years due to its many advantages.

[0004] However, current research mainly focuses on the storage of carbon dioxide gas in single vertical wells. This storage method generally uses saline layers as the main storage site, but ignores the huge potential of hydrate layers and oil and gas layers to store carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide is injected into shallow hydrate layers, the high-density hydrates generated can act as a cap layer to prevent the carbon dioxide below from further floating up and leaking into the seawater. At the same time, exploration practices in existing areas have shown the existence of vertically coexisting hydrate layers, saline layers, and oil and gas layers. These three reservoirs have good carbon dioxide storage potential and are therefore worthy of in-depth study. However, there is currently too little research on the above problems, which limits the further development of marine storage technology.

[0005] In summary, it is necessary to provide a well system and method for jointly storing carbon dioxide in hydrate layers, saline layers and oil and gas layers to solve the problem of limited offshore carbon dioxide storage capacity and high cost, and to achieve low-cost storage of offshore carbon dioxide. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an injection well system and a storage method for storing carbon dioxide in a submarine sediment layer. The injection well system and the storage method provided by the present invention can simultaneously inject carbon dioxide into the hydrate stable layer, the saline layer and the oil and gas layer through one injection well, solving the current problem of limited offshore carbon dioxide storage capacity and high cost, effectively reducing drilling and operation costs, and increasing economic benefits.

[0007] In order to achieve the purpose of the invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an injection well system for storing carbon dioxide in a submarine sediment layer, the injection well system comprising an underwater blowout preventer, and an injection main well with a submarine monitoring unit disposed below the underwater blowout preventer;

[0009] After the injection main well passes through the sedimentary layer, a first horizontal branch well is extended in the hydrate stable layer, a second horizontal branch well is extended in the saline layer, and a third horizontal branch well is extended in the oil and gas layer.

[0010] The inlet of the main injection well is provided with a CO2 delivery unit.

[0011] In the present invention, the injection well system has a simple structure. Through one main injection well, carbon dioxide can be quickly injected into the hydrate stable layer, the saline layer and the deep oil and gas layer at the same time, thereby increasing the gas injection volume and injection rate, and realizing the rapid storage of carbon dioxide. At the same time, during the storage process, various parameters are monitored in real time through the seabed monitoring system, and the gas injection process is intelligently controlled to maintain the stability of the formation pressure, avoid the leakage of carbon dioxide, and realize safe storage.

[0012] In addition, the injection well system provided by the present invention can effectively reduce drilling and operation costs and increase economic benefits.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, according to the CO2 delivery direction, the CO2 delivery unit includes a CO2 delivery pipeline, a gas compression device and a wellhead multi-way valve which are connected in sequence.

[0014] Furthermore, the wellhead multi-way valve in the present invention is arranged in series with the underwater blowout preventer, and CO2 is transported by the underwater blowout preventer to the injection main well after passing through the wellhead multi-way valve.

[0015] In the present invention, the liquefaction of carbon dioxide is achieved through the gas compressor in the CO2 delivery unit, thereby further reducing the volume of carbon dioxide and improving the injection efficiency of carbon dioxide.

[0027] Then, through step (2), liquid carbon dioxide is transported to the second horizontal branch well and / or the third horizontal branch well to achieve effective storage of carbon dioxide.

[0028] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the addition amount of the carbon dioxide hydrate promoter in step (1) is 10 to 1000 mg / L, for example, it can be 10 mg / L, 100 mg / L, 200 mg / L, 300 mg / L, 400 mg / L, 500 mg / L, 600 mg / L, 700 mg / L, 800 mg / L, 900 mg / L or 1000 mg / L, but is not limited to the listed values, and other values ​​not listed within the numerical range are also applicable.

Typical but non-limiting combinations include: a combination of tetrahydropyran and cyclopentane, a combination of tetrabutylammonium bromide, tetrabutylammonium fluoride and tetrabutylammonium chloride, or a combination of tetrahydropyran, cyclopentane, tetrabutylammonium bromide, tetrabutylammonium fluoride and tetrabutylammonium chloride.

[0030] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the endpoint of conveying liquid carbon dioxide in step (1) is: the hydrate stability layer pressure is 93-97% of the hydrate stability layer rupture pressure, for example, it can be 93%, 93.5%, 94%, 94.5%, 95%, 95.5%, 96%, 96.5% or 97%, 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 delivery of liquid carbon dioxide in step (2) is: leakage of carbon dioxide is monitored by the seabed monitoring unit.

[0032] The numerical range described in the present invention not only includes the point values ​​listed above, but also includes any point values ​​between the above numerical ranges that are not listed. 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.

[0076] Example 3

[0077] This embodiment provides an injection well system for storing carbon dioxide in a seafloor sediment layer, such as Figure 1 As shown, the injection well system includes an underwater blowout preventer 5, and an injection main well with a seabed monitoring unit 9 disposed below the underwater blowout preventer 5;

[0089] Example 4

[0090] This embodiment provides an injection well system for storing carbon dioxide in a seafloor sediment layer. The injection well system is the same as that in Embodiment 1.

[0091] This embodiment also provides a method for storing carbon dioxide using the above injection well system. The difference between the method and the embodiment 1 is that:

[0092] In this embodiment, the end point of delivering liquid carbon dioxide in step (1) is adjusted to: the hydrate stability layer pressure is 85% of the hydrate stability layer fracture pressure.

[0093] Compared with Example 1, this embodiment reduces the pressure of the hydrate stabilization layer when the liquid carbon dioxide transportation is terminated in step (1). Although this will keep the formation pressure within a safe range and effectively avoid the appearance of formation cracks and the leakage of carbon dioxide, it will weaken the heat release covering capacity of the carbon dioxide hydrate cap layer and may reduce the storage capacity of carbon dioxide.

[0094] Example 5

[0095] This embodiment provides an injection well system for storing carbon dioxide in a seafloor sediment layer. The injection well system is the same as that in Embodiment 1.

[0096] This embodiment also provides a method for storing carbon dioxide using the above injection well system. The difference between the method and the embodiment 1 is that:

[0097] In this embodiment, the injection of the carbon dioxide hydrate promoter in step (1) is omitted.

[0098] Compared with Example 1, the injection of the carbon dioxide hydrate promoter is omitted in this example, which will lead to a decrease in the carbon dioxide hydrate generation rate, thereby causing a decrease in the carbon dioxide storage capacity.

[0099] Example 6

[0100] This embodiment provides an injection well system for storing carbon dioxide in a submarine sediment layer. The injection well system is different from that in Embodiment 1 only in that:

[0101] In this embodiment, the gas compression device 7 is omitted.

[0102] This embodiment also provides a method for storing carbon dioxide using the above injection well system. The method is the same as that in Embodiment 1.

[0103] Compared with Example 1, the present embodiment omits the gas compression device 7, and cannot realize the liquefaction of carbon dioxide gas, resulting in lower carbon dioxide injection efficiency and less carbon dioxide wind storage.

[0104] Comparative Example 1

[0105] This comparative example provides an injection well system for storing carbon dioxide in a submarine sediment layer. The injection well system differs from Example 1 only in that:

[0106] The configuration of the seabed monitoring unit is omitted in this comparative example.

[0107] This embodiment also provides a method for storing carbon dioxide using the above injection well system. The method is the same as that in Embodiment 1.

[0108] Compared with Example 1, the present comparative example omits the setting of the seabed monitoring unit, making it impossible to detect the leakage of carbon dioxide in time, which causes the formation pressure to exceed the fracture pressure of the formation, resulting in a large number of cracks, which in turn causes the leakage of carbon dioxide.

[0109] In summary, the injection well system and storage method provided by the present invention can simultaneously realize the injection of carbon dioxide into the hydrate stable layer, saline layer and oil and gas layer through one injection well, solving the current problems of limited offshore carbon dioxide storage capacity and high cost, effectively reducing drilling and operation costs and increasing economic benefits.
