DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "include" and "comprises" used herein should be understood as inclusive and open-ended, rather than exclusive. Specifically, when the terms "include" and "comprises" and their synonyms are used in the specification and claims, they mean including the specified features, steps or components. These terms cannot be understood to exclude the existence of other features, steps or components.
[0022] CO2 geological storage (abbreviated as "geological storage") generally refers to the injection of CO2 into geological bodies with various reservoir conditions, such as deep saline aquifers, depleted oil and gas reservoirs, deep unmineable coal seams and basalt, in order to achieve safe and effective permanent carbon fixation.
[0023] However, to safely and effectively store high-pressure CO2 permanently in deep geological reservoirs, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of the impact of CO2 injection on geological reservoirs. For example, high-pressure CO2 injected into the formation may change the rock mechanical properties and permeability of the reservoir, affect the strength and pore structure of the rock, and the flow characteristics of the fluid inside the rock, resulting in a decrease in the stability of the reservoir and even causing micro-vibration or leakage risks.
[0024] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop laboratory equipment and corresponding methods that can simulate the CO2 injection and storage process in deep geological environments, operate under the expected in situ pressure conditions (including confining pressure and fluid pressure) and temperature conditions, and truly reproduce the temperature and pressure environment thousands of meters underground, and then systematically study the physical and chemical interactions between CO2 and rocks and formation fluids, and ultimately evaluate the safety, effectiveness and long-term stability of the CO2 storage process.
[0025] To solve the above technical problems, please refer to Figure 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment, the present invention provides a carbon dioxide storage experimental simulation device based on in-situ conditions, the carbon dioxide storage experimental simulation device comprises a pressure vessel 1, a three-phase supply system 2, a load system 4, a collection system 5 and a temperature control system 6, wherein: The pressure vessel 1 includes a vertically arranged pressure cylinder 11, a direction moving block and a displacement sensor 15 in the core sample 7 in the pressure cylinder 11. As a preferred mode of this embodiment, the pressure cylinder 11 is preferably set as a square cylinder structure, that is, the inner and outer horizontal sections of the pressure cylinder 11 are both square, and the pressure cylinder 11 is used to load the core sample 7. Exemplarily, the specifications of the core sample 7 in this embodiment are set as follows: the height is 200mm, the length and width are 50mm. The direction moving block is arranged in the pressure cylinder 11, which is used to limit the position of the core sample 7 in the corresponding direction, and the direction moving block does not seal the surrounding of the core sample 7.
[0026] The displacement sensors 15 are installed in three directions (X, Y, and Z axis directions) of the core sample 7 to record the deformation of the core sample 7 in three directions under a certain pressure. Considering the influence of the horizontality of the pressure cylinder 11 on the measurement results, in this embodiment, a plurality of support frames 16 are arranged around the bottom of the pressure cylinder 11 for leveling.

Such a device can carry out a variety of simulation experiments, such as pure CO2 storage, mixed CO2 storage, supercritical CO2 storage, storage by alternating injection of water and gas, etc. In addition, CO2 oil recovery experiments can also be carried out.
[0028] The load system 4 is used to apply load pressure to the X-direction moving block 12, the Y-direction moving block 13 and the Z-direction moving block 14 located in the pressure cylinder 11, thereby providing stress and deformation in the X, Y and Z directions to the core sample 7. The deformation is measured by the displacement sensor 15 to further understand the maximum pressure that the core sample 7 can withstand, thereby evaluating the leakage of CO2.
[0029] The acquisition system 5 includes a nuclear magnetic resonance data acquisition system 51 and a temperature and pressure data acquisition system 52. The nuclear magnetic resonance data acquisition system 51 is used to obtain the pore structure and fluid change characteristics of the core sample 7 by video, and the temperature and pressure data acquisition system 52 is used to measure and record the pressure and temperature of the CO2 injected into the core sample 7.
[0030] The temperature control system 6 is used to control the temperature of the core sample 7 when CO2 is injected. The pressure cylinder 11 can be heated to the temperature of the target reservoir, and the pressure balance and constant temperature and pressure state can be achieved.
[0031] Specifically in the embodiment of the present invention, the carbon dioxide storage experimental simulation device is composed of a pressure vessel 1, a three-phase supply system 2, a load system 4, a collection system 5 and a temperature control system 6.

[0032] Therefore, the device can simulate the geological storage efficiency of carbon dioxide under different temperature and pressure conditions in different types of reservoirs (depleted oil and gas reservoirs, coal rock, shale or saline water layer, etc.); the pressure vessel 1 can automatically expand and contract according to the size of the core sample 7, adapt to large-medium-small scale core column samples, and study the interaction between the core and the fluid in the geological storage process of carbon dioxide from different scales; the device can simultaneously carry out experiments involving different research directions in the geological storage process of carbon dioxide, such as geochemical tests, rock physics tests and rock mechanics tests; in addition, the device can also be applied to energy storage research, such as natural gas storage, hydrogen storage and helium storage. The device can realize multi-scenario simulation, increase the applicability and flexibility of the experimental device, and through precise control of experimental conditions and multi-directional data acquisition, it can provide important experimental data and theoretical support for the research of CO2 storage technology.
[0033] It should be noted that the directional moving blocks in this embodiment are all made of stainless steel, and the surface of the directional moving blocks is covered with a layer of chromium metal by electroplating to enhance its surface hardness and corrosion resistance, and is resistant to high temperature and high pressure (temperature range is -196℃~800℃, maximum pressure is 1000MPa).
[0034] In addition, the pressure vessel 1 can automatically expand and contract according to the size of the core sample 7 to adapt to large, medium and small sized core column samples, so as to study the interaction between the core sample 7 and the fluid in the carbon dioxide geological storage process from different scales.
