[0074] The dual pore-fracture network model is a method for predicting fluid permeability in porous rocks containing fractures. It simulates the flow of fluids in the reservoir by considering the permeability and flow interaction of fractures and porous media, and then calculates the total permeability of the reservoir based on the fluid flow simulation results. By using these methods, the effects of different reservoir characteristics (such as fracture density and size, porous media type and permeability, etc.) on fluid permeability can be evaluated.

[0075] The method for predicting fluid permeability in dual pore-fracture network systems involves simulating the flow of fluids in porous media with multiple interconnections. The fractures and the surrounding porous media are treated as two different porous regions, each with its own permeability. The fluid flow in the fractures can be described using Darcy's law, while the flow in the porous media can be described using the cubic law or other more complex models to obtain the total permeability of the system by combining the permeabilities of the two regions and considering the flow interaction between them.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes a method for predicting fluid permeability of a dual pore-fracture network, the method comprising the following steps:

[0077] S1. Establish a flow channel model of interparticle pores based on the fluid mechanics model and calculate the flow state of the interparticle pore network;

[0078] The flow channel model of intergranular pores is established based on the fluid mechanics model, including:

[0079] Based on the pore fluid velocity field and the flow formula of incompressible Newtonian fluid in a single tube, the flow calculation formula of the interparticle pores is obtained by using the Navier-Stokes equations and the symmetry conditions of the elliptical cross section in the elliptical cylindrical coordinate system and the no-slip boundary conditions of the inner wall of the pipe. Among them, the pore fluid velocity field includes steady-state field and unsteady-state field, and the flow state includes the flow rate and flow velocity of the fluid.

[0080] The flow state of the intergranular pore network is obtained by calculation, including: calculating the flow velocity in the flow channel through the intergranular pore flow channel model; obtaining the volume of fluid flowing through the flow channel per unit time through the flow velocity; and combining the fluid volume with the flow calculation formula to obtain the flow of the intergranular pore network.

[0081] S2. Establishing a pressure-velocity linear equation group of the intergranular pore network according to the flow state, and solving it to obtain the pressure and velocity values ​​at different positions in the intergranular pore network;

[0082] S3, according to the law of conservation of node flow in the fracture network, the fluid velocity and pressure distribution in the fracture network are obtained;

[0083] S4, establishing a coupled linear equation system according to the pressure and flow velocity values ​​at different positions in the intergranular pore network and the fluid velocity and pressure distribution in the fracture network, and solving them to obtain the flow exchange data in the dual pore-fracture network space;

[0084] S5, predicting the flow in the dual pore-fracture network based on the flow exchange data;

[0085] It includes: combining the pore and flow exchange data on the interface of the dual pore-fracture network to establish the flow exchange coupling linear equation; solving the flow exchange coupling linear equation to obtain the pressure and flow at the interface nodes of the pore network and the fracture network; predicting the flow in the dual pore-fracture network through the pressure and flow at the interface nodes of the pore network and the fracture network.

[0086] Specifically, (1) intergranular pore i is connected to the six nearby pores j = 1, ..., 6, and the flow rate Q between pores i and j is ij The flow rate expression Q(t) of the fluid in the flow tube can be obtained:

[0087]

[0088] Some of these six adjacent pores have fluid flowing into pore i, while others have fluid flowing out of pore i. The flow conservation law is satisfied at the network nodes, that is, the sum of the inflow flow and the outflow flow is zero;

[0089]

[0090] Among them, P i , P j is the fluid pressure at pore i, j;

[0091] (2) Assume that the entire network has 125 pore nodes, that is, i = 1, ..., 125. Then, for each node, a flow conservation equation can be given. All 125 equations construct a large linear system of equations. Solving this system of equations, we can obtain the pressure P on each pore. i and the flow rate Q in each flow tube ij ;

[0092] (3) Similarly, for a fracture network composed of elliptical cylindrical flow tubes, each node also satisfies the flow conservation equation. Assuming that the fracture network has 64 connected nodes, 64 flow conservation equations can be obtained, forming another large linear equation system. Solving this equation system can obtain the fracture pressure and flow in the fracture network.

[0093] (4) Since there are interconnected channels between the intergranular pore network and the fracture network, the two networks exchange flows on these interconnected channels. There are both intergranular pores and fractures near the pore i on the interconnected interface. Therefore, at this pore node, the inflow and outflow flows include the node flows from the two networks. Assuming that there are 3 adjacent pores on this node from the intergranular pore network and 3 from the fracture network, the flow conservation is expressed as:

[0094]

[0095] Where J represents the fracture network node, j represents the intergranular pore network node, and formula (2) represents the conservation condition of flow exchange on the dual network interface;

[0096] (5) Assuming that there are 16 pores on the dual network interface (this parameter is determined based on the actual pore network structure observed in rock physics experiments), then an equation can be established for each pore i = 1, ..., 16 to obtain a coupled linear equation system for flow exchange, which contains 16 equations;

[0097] (6) The linear equations for flow exchange in the two scale flow spaces are solved to obtain the pressure and flow at the interface nodes of the pore network and the fracture network.

[0098] At this point, the flow prediction in the dual pore-fracture network based on the flow exchange data is completed.

[0099] S6. Combining the inlet-outlet pressure difference with the flow rate in the dual pore-fracture network, the fluid permeability of the dual pore-fracture network is predicted.

[0100] Specifically, the present invention first establishes a flow channel model of micro-scale interparticle pores, and the flow channels (radius is in the micrometer level) are interconnected to form a mesoscopic (pipeline length is in the millimeter level)-macroscopic (overall unit is in the centimeter level) overall network, thereby realizing the overall modeling of the fluid connection space in the porous medium.

[0101] Based on the flow formula of incompressible Newtonian fluid in a single tube, the elliptic cylindrical coordinate system is used. The velocity field of the pore fluid contains two components: steady-state field and unsteady-state field. Starting from the Navier-Stokes equation in the elliptic cylindrical coordinate system, considering the no-slip boundary condition of the inner wall of the pipe and using the symmetry condition of the elliptical section, the flow expression of the fluid in the flow tube can be obtained:

[0102]

[0103] Where ω is the fluid pressure pulsation frequency, R1 is the main radius of the flow channel, a is the aspect ratio of the flow channel section, J0 and J1 are zero-order and first-order Bessel functions, and the density and viscosity of the fluid in the pipeline are ρ f, η, λ and k are intermediate variables, defined as is an imaginary unit, is the average value of the cross-sectional radius of the flow tube, t is the time, c is the speed of the sound wave in the fluid, z is the coordinate along the axial direction of the flow tube, and P is the pressure on the cross-sectional area at the z coordinate position.

[0104] Assume that the cross-section of the microscopic intergranular pores is close to a circle, constituting the fluid flow space of the dense matrix. The fluid flows slowly in the pores under the action of pulsating pressure, and the zero flow tube aspect ratio a=1. The above flow formula can be used to establish a flow prediction method in the matrix block.

[0105] Secondly, the dimensions of reservoir fractures in width and height vary greatly, and their cross-sections have a very small aspect ratio. Based on geological survey and analysis data and rock physics experimental observations, the aspect ratio range of the fractures can be determined. By substituting the fracture aspect ratio into the above flow calculation formula, the distribution of the fluid flow in the fracture space over time and space can be predicted.

[0106] Finally, if Figure 2 As shown in Figure 1, a three-dimensional network structure model is formed based on macroscopic fractures and microscopic intergranular pores, and a flow calculation formula for porous rocks in reservoirs containing fracture networks is obtained. Figure 3 As shown in Figure 2, the internal pore channels of the matrix block containing intergranular pores are represented as a circular flow channel network, and the matrix block is divided by larger cracks, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cracks form a network of fluid channels around the matrix block.

[0107] The degree of fracture development plays a very important role in improving reservoir permeability and productivity. Due to the development of fractures, the permeability has been greatly improved. There is fluid coupling flow at the interface between the fluid inside the matrix block and the fluid in the fracture space, so that the fluid pores in the tight porous rock with fractures form a whole, which contains full flow matrix pore space and fast flow fracture space. This dual-porosity medium has a significant impact on fluid permeability, which also brings difficulties to the traditional permeability calculation model.

[0108] Example 1 Fluid flow pattern in a dual-scale pore network with intergranular pores and through-fracture surfaces

[0109] For rocks with intergranular pores and horizontally penetrating fractures, two scale pore-fracture network structures are established. In the Z direction of the fracture-pore network, the plane where the second layer of pores is located is taken as the fracture penetration plane, such as Figure 5 As shown, the channel fluidity between the pores is enhanced.

[0110] The network calculation parameters used are: porosity 0.06, pore throat aspect ratio 0.01, pore radius 0.2 mm, confining pressure 10 atmospheres, and the spatial distribution of flow field pressure is shown in Figure 6and Figure 7 , we can find from the figure:

[0111] (1) The pressure near the pores of the inlet layer is uniformly distributed on the YZ plane, which is consistent with the uniform pressure condition applied on the inlet plane;

[0112] (2) From the inlet layer to the outlet layer, the pressure gradually decreases in space, and the outlet meets the 1 atmosphere pressure boundary condition;

[0113] (3) The second layer position in the Z direction, such as Figure 7 As shown, due to the existence of the through-fracture plane, the fluid flow pattern changes differently from the uniform pore-pore throat structure. The pressure front shows an obvious protrusion feature, and the fluid pressure along the through-fracture plane is significantly higher than the surrounding area, indicating that high-pressure fluid enters the numerical sample along the fracture surface.

[0114] The spatial distribution of fluid velocity in the fracture-pore space is shown in Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown. From the fluid velocity distribution diagram, we can find that:

[0115] (1) On the fracture penetration plane, the velocity contour surface shows an obvious protrusion phenomenon, and the velocity of the fluid in the fracture plane layer is significantly higher than that in other nearby locations;

[0116] (2) The maximum fluid velocity in the numerical sample increases from about 0.015 mm / s in the uniform fracture-pore network to about 0.27 mm / s;

[0117] (3) There is still a certain flow velocity at the inlet layer far away from the fracture plane, but the flow velocity at the fracture position is dominant.

[0118] From the above example results analysis, we can draw the following conclusions:

[0119] (1) The through-fracture plane has a strong flow-guiding effect on the fluid, causing a significant change in the fluid flow pattern, from the plane advancement mode of the uniform fracture-pore network (pressure and velocity isosurfaces are parallel to the YZ plane) to the advance mode along the fracture surface;

[0120] (2) At locations with through fracture planes, high-pressure fluids can enter more easily than at other locations;

[0121] (3) The fluid velocity in the fracture-pore network with through-fracture planes is higher than that in the uniform pore-pore throat network, and has a greater permeability.

[0122] Example 2 Effect of pressure on the flow pattern of double pore network fluid

[0123] In order to verify the applicability of the present invention under different pressure conditions, the flow characteristics under 100 atmospheres and 10 atmospheres were calculated respectively. In the Z direction of the fracture-pore network, the plane where the second layer of pores is located is taken as the fracture penetration plane, and the network calculation parameters are: porosity 0.06, pore throat aspect ratio 0.01, pore radius 0.2mm, and confining pressure 100 atmospheres. The spatial distribution of flow field pressure is shown in Fig.10 , Fig.11 , we can find from the figure:

[0124] (1) The distribution of fluid pressure field under the condition of confining pressure of 100 atmospheres is very similar to that under the condition of 10 atmospheres;

[0125] (2) Under the condition of confining pressure of 100 atmospheres, the fluid enters the interior of the numerical sample along the crack penetration plane, and the pressure value at the same position is about 10 times that under the condition of 10 atmospheres.

[0126] The spatial distribution of fluid velocity in the fracture-pore space is shown in Fig.12 and Fig.13 From the fluid velocity distribution diagram under high pressure conditions, it is found that:

[0127] (1) The distribution of the fluid velocity field under the confining pressure of 100 atmospheres is very similar to that under the confining pressure of 10 atmospheres;

[0128] (2) Under the condition of confining pressure of 100 atmospheres, the fluid velocity at the same position is about 10 times that under the condition of 10 atmospheres.

[0129] From the above analysis of the influence of pressure on fluid field pressure and velocity, it is found that:

[0130] (1) As the inlet-outlet pressure gradient increases, the pressure distribution in the fracture-pore space increases in direct proportion;

[0131] (2) As the inlet-outlet pressure gradient increases, the fluid velocity in the fracture-pore space increases in direct proportion;

[0132] (3) Under the condition of the same pore-throat structure, within a certain pressure range, the change of pressure gradient has little effect on the fluid distribution morphology.

[0133] Data analysis shows that the present invention can reflect the changing characteristics of permeability in porous rocks containing fractures under different pressures, and realizes a method for accurately characterizing the internal flow characteristics of fluids in porous rocks containing fractures, which has obvious advantages over other traditional methods.

[0134] like Fig.14As shown, the present invention proposes a fluid permeability prediction system for a dual pore-fracture network, the system comprising a first acquisition module 10, an information processing module 20, a second acquisition module 30, an integration module 40, a first prediction module 50 and a second prediction module 60;

[0135] The first acquisition module 10 is used to establish an intergranular pore flow channel model based on a fluid mechanics model, and calculate the flow state of the intergranular pore network;

[0136] The information processing module 20 is used to establish a pressure-flow rate linear equation group of the intergranular pore network according to the flow state, and solve the pressure and flow rate values ​​at different positions in the intergranular pore network;

[0137] The second acquisition module 30 is used to obtain the fluid velocity and pressure distribution in the fracture network according to the law of conservation of node flow in the fracture network;

[0138] The integration module 40 is used to establish a coupled linear equation group according to the pressure and flow velocity values ​​at different positions in the intergranular pore network and the fluid velocity and pressure distribution in the fracture network, and solve to obtain the flow exchange data in the dual pore-fracture network space;

[0139] The first prediction module 50 is used to predict the flow in the dual pore-fracture network based on the flow exchange data;

[0140] The second prediction module 60 is used to predict the fluid permeability of the dual pore-fracture network by combining the inlet-outlet pressure difference with the flow rate in the dual pore-fracture network.

[0141] like Fig.15 As shown, corresponding to the above-mentioned dual pore-fracture network fluid permeability prediction method, the present invention also provides an electronic device.
