Description

Technical Field

[0002] Hydrates are known as one of the most promising unconventional clean energy sources in the 21st century due to their huge reserves and clean combustion products. They also have high energy efficiency and broad market development prospects. However, the current hydrate mining technology is not mature enough, the mining environment is complex, and the mining is difficult. Hydrate autothermal development is a type of thermal stimulation method. By injecting an autothermal system into the reservoir, the liquid reaction generates heat to promote the decomposition of hydrates. It has been widely used.

[0003] In actual hydrate reservoirs, there are various inorganic salt ions, which have a certain influence on the phase equilibrium relationship of hydrates. With the injection of the self-heating system, the increase of inorganic salt ions will further cause the change of hydrate phase equilibrium. The existing hydrate phase equilibrium equations only consider the case of pure water, which is difficult to meet the high mineralization conditions in the actual production process. In addition, the current numerical simulation of hydrate self-heating exploitation often ignores the influence of inorganic salt ions on hydrate phase equilibrium. In order to be close to the actual situation on site, improve the efficiency of hydrate self-heating development, and further optimize the development process, it is necessary to propose a hydrate self-heating development process optimization method that considers the evolution of phase equilibrium relationship, so as to provide more effective guidance for the self-heating exploitation of hydrate reservoirs.

[0035] Example Taking a hydrate reservoir as an example, the present invention is used to optimize its self-heat development process, which specifically includes the following sub-steps: (1) constructing a physical model for the self-heat development of hydrate reservoirs, dividing the physical model into matrix grids, and assigning physical parameters; In this embodiment, the physical parameters are shown in Table 1: Table 1 Physical parameters of the physical model for hydrate reservoir autogenous heat development

[0036] (2) Determine a set of process solutions for the development of hydrate reservoir autothermal heat (3) initializing the physical parameters of the physical model of the hydrate reservoir autothermal development; (4) Using the two-phase seepage model shown in equations (1)-(6), simulate and calculate the pressure distribution; (5) Using the chemical model shown in formula (7), simulate the thermogenic chemical reaction and calculate the chemical reaction rate; (6) Using the heat transfer model shown in equations (8)-(9), simulate and calculate the temperature distribution; (7) Using the phase equilibrium relationship evolution model shown in equations (11)-(15), the mass percentage of inorganic salt ions is updated to calculate the current equilibrium temperature and equilibrium pressure of the hydrate; In this embodiment t 1. t 2. t The value of 3 is 0; In this embodiment A =0.005623, B =0.02169, C =0.6673, D =4.5113; The update of the mass percentage of inorganic salt ions is calculated based on the self-heating system reaction equation after a given reactant concentration. Taking the ammonium chloride-sodium nitrite system as an example, the reaction equation is as follows:

[0037] (8) Calculate the hydrate phase change rate according to the current equilibrium temperature and equilibrium pressure of the hydrate using equation (16); (9) Calculate the gas and liquid production rates caused by the hydrate phase change decomposition rate using equations (17)-(18); (10) Determine whether the result converges. If not, iterate the gas production and liquid production rates calculated in step (9) to step (4), and repeat steps (4) to (10) until the result converges. The convergence condition is that the temperature difference in each time step is less than 2%. (11) Calculate the final temperature influence range of the current process scheme. If the final temperature influence range of the current process scheme does not reach the target temperature influence range, optimize the injection efficiency of step (2) and repeat steps (2) to (11). Otherwise, the current process scheme is the final optimized hydrate reservoir self-heat development process scheme.

[0038] Taking different mass percentages of sodium chloride as an example, the radial temperature distribution of the reservoir under different mass percentages of sodium chloride is as follows: Figure 2 As shown; the influence curve of sodium chloride mass percentage on temperature influence range and maximum bottom hole temperature is shown in Figure 3As shown. It can be seen that sodium chloride will increase the temperature influence range. It is often used as a hydrate inhibitor to reduce the hydrate phase equilibrium temperature. During autothermal mining, hydrates are easier to decompose, thus increasing the temperature influence range. When the mass percentage is >8%, its influence effect is more obvious.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in the process optimization part, by orthogonally decomposing different injection rates of 1080, 1260, 1440, 1620, and 1800 cubic meters per day with different mass percentages of sodium chloride, the injection rate can be optimized according to the actual level of inorganic salt ions (such as sodium ions) on site based on the conclusion.

[0040] In summary, the present invention can optimize the self-heating development process of hydrate reservoirs and provide technical support for hydrate reservoir exploitation. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has significant progress.
