Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydrate reservoir exploitation, and in particular to a method for optimizing the injection process of a hydrate reservoir pore expansion and permeability enhancement working fluid. Background Art

[0002] As a substitute for oil and coal, natural gas hydrates have gradually attracted worldwide attention, and their mining value has also been increasingly valued. Moreover, the mining of hydrates can increase energy supply, reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels, and promote the diversification of energy. However, in the current hydrate mining process, due to the low initial permeability of natural gas hydrates and strong porosity and permeability heterogeneity, as mining proceeds, secondary hydrate generation is prone to occur in the near-well area, blocking the channel and causing a decrease in permeability around the well. Therefore, in order to improve this problem, the porosity and permeability of the reservoir is improved by injecting pore expansion and permeability increasing working fluid into the pore and permeability space of natural gas hydrates, thereby improving the gas-liquid development efficiency in the reservoir and achieving pore expansion and permeability increasing of the hydrate reservoir.

[0003] Pore ​​expansion and permeability enhancement is a complex multi-physics field coupling problem. The reaction between the pore expansion and permeability enhancement working fluid and the matrix rock releases heat, which promotes the decomposition of natural gas hydrates. The decomposition of hydrates causes the flow to become a gas-liquid two-phase flow. At the same time, the pore permeability properties of the matrix change as the working fluid is injected. Therefore, how to clarify the effect of pore expansion and permeability enhancement and ensure the applicability and efficiency of the process plan is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0066] The mass conservation equation for the salt generated by mineral dissolution is:

[0067]

[0068] Where: is the average concentration of salts generated by mineral dissolution (defined as the average mass of salts generated by mineral dissolution), kg / kg; is the average diffusion coefficient of the generated salt in the aqueous phase, m 2 / s;ρ s is the rock density, kg / m 3 .

[0071] Where: is the updated flow porosity; φ0 is the initial flow porosity; Δt is a time step, s; K0 is the initial absolute permeability, D; β is an empirical constant; r and r0 are the pore radius and the initial pore radius, cm, respectively; A dec,0 is the initial specific surface area, m 2 / m 3 .

[0075] When performing numerical simulation, the relative permeability, chemical reaction rate and other parameter data are calculated and updated according to the grid unit; the multi-field coupled linear equation group in the hydrate reservoir expansion and permeability increasing working fluid injection numerical calculation model is used to solve the pressure, temperature, saturation and the like; the iteration error is calculated to determine whether the iteration converges at the current time step, and optionally, the difference in the pressure, temperature and saturation distribution between the previous and next iterations is calculated to determine whether the iteration converges, and if not, the iterative calculation is repeated until the current time step converges; the matrix porosity and absolute permeability are calculated and updated; it is determined whether the numerical simulation of the current process scheme is completed, and if not, the numerical simulation is repeated until all time step simulations are completed.

[0077] It should be noted that the pore expansion and permeability increase requirements are generally determined according to the actual reservoir, and whether the pore expansion and permeability increase requirements are met is mainly determined by whether the pore permeability change reaches the change threshold. In addition, it is also judged by the distance of the impact of the increase in pore permeability on its range. This is a prior art, and the specific requirements are not repeated here.

[0078] In a specific embodiment, taking a hydrate reservoir as an example, the present invention is used to optimize the pore expansion and permeability enhancement working fluid injection process, which specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0079] (1) Constructing a physical model for hydrate reservoir pore expansion and permeability enhancement working fluid injection, and performing matrix grid division and physical parameter assignment on the physical model. In this embodiment, the physical model constructed is as follows: Figure 2 As shown;

[0080] (2) Determine a set of hydrate reservoir pore expansion and permeability enhancement working fluid injection process scheme. In this embodiment, the main focus is on optimizing the mass fraction of the working fluid and the injection intensity in the pore expansion and permeability enhancement working fluid injection process scheme. The mass fractions of the working fluid studied are 0.150, 0.200, and 0.250, respectively, and the injection intensity studied is 0.5m 3 / m、1.5m 3 / m, 3.0m 3 / m;

[0081] (3) initializing or updating the physical parameters of the physical model for injection of the hydrate reservoir pore expansion and permeability enhancement working fluid;

[0082] (4) using the hydrate phase change decomposition model shown in equations (1)-(2) to simulate and calculate the hydrate dissociation rate and the gas phase and water phase generation rates;

[0083] (5) Using the gas-liquid two-phase seepage model shown in equations (3)-(5), simulate and calculate the gas-liquid two-phase flow velocity distribution;

[0084] (6) Using the chemical reaction model shown in equations (7)-(10), simulate and calculate the working fluid concentration, consumption rate and dissolved mineral concentration;

[0085] (7) Using the temperature field calculation model shown in formula (6), simulate and calculate the temperature distribution;

[0086] (8) using the porosity and permeability evolution model shown in equations (11)-(14) to calculate and update the changes in porosity and absolute permeability;

[0087] (9) Repeat steps (4) to (8) in one time step until the calculation converges. After convergence, determine whether the simulation is complete;

[0088] (10) Repeat steps (4)-(9) to simulate the next time step until all time step simulations are completed, calculate the changes in the final porosity and permeability of the current process solution, and determine whether the current process solution meets the requirements of pore expansion and permeability increase. If it does not meet the requirements, repeat steps (2)-(10) until the optimization obtains a process solution that meets the requirements of pore expansion and permeability increase.

[0089] In this embodiment, the pore expansion and permeability enhancement effects under different working fluid mass fractions are as follows: Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown. Figure 3-Figure 5 It can be seen that the larger the mass fraction of the working fluid, the larger the pore expansion and permeation radius. However, when the mass fraction increases to a certain value, the pore expansion and permeation radius will not continue to increase. Therefore, the mass fraction of the working fluid can be optimized to be between 0.2-0.25.

[0090] The pore expansion and permeability enhancement effects under different injection intensities are as follows Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown. Figure 6-Figure 8 It can be seen that increasing the injection intensity is beneficial to increasing the depth of pore expansion and permeability increase, so the injection intensity of 3m can be optimized. 3 / m.

[0091] In summary, the present invention can optimize the injection process of the working fluid for hydrate reservoir expansion and permeability enhancement, and provide technical support for the chemical agent exploitation of the working fluid in the hydrate reservoir. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has significant progress.

Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this profession can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
