Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development, and particularly relates to a device and method for measuring adsorbed oil content and components in a reservoir pore. BACKGROUND

[0002] Shale oil is a collection of liquid hydrocarbons mainly in adsorbed state, free state and mutual state in shale and carbonate rock interbeds or clastic rock interbeds in shale. At present, the method for measuring free oil content in shale is relatively mature, but adsorbed oil in shale still accounts for a large part of total oil content in shale, and shale oil reserves submission, zone evaluation and development plan still need shale adsorbed oil content data as support, so how to obtain accurate shale core adsorbed oil content data through experimental means is the basis for shale oil exploration and development.

[0003] Due to great differences between surface and underground conditions, the content and composition of shale adsorbed oil will be scattered to different degrees in the process of extraction from the bottom of the well to the top of the well, therefore, analyzing the adsorbed oil content remaining in the shale core will inevitably deviate from the true situation, and there is no particularly significant boundary between adsorbed shale oil and free shale oil, and shale oil composition is complex, which is a complex compound of hydrocarbons and resin, asphaltene, which leads to great difficulty in measuring adsorbed shale oil content in the reservoir. At present, the commonly used traditional experimental methods are swelling experiment method and heating release method.

[0004] Swelling experiment method: this method first dissolves crude oil or asphalt in an organic solvent such as toluene, and after the shale sample is placed in the solution for a period of time, the change in absorbance of the solution is detected by spectroscopic method to determine the adsorption amount of shale on crude oil or asphalt, and the adsorption characteristics of shale are evaluated by establishing the relationship between adsorption amount and equilibrium time to determine the adsorbed oil content.

[0005] Heating release method: under the conditions of pyrolysis temperature of 200℃, 350℃, 450℃, 600℃, pyrolysis parameters S1-1, S1-2, S2-1, S2-2 content are measured in turn, and S1-1 and S1-2 content is considered to represent the content of non / weak polar free state compounds, S2-1 is mainly heavy hydrocarbon and polar stronger resin, asphalt adsorbed state components, and S2-2 is mainly kerogen cracking hydrocarbon components, and this method provides the possibility for quantitative evaluation of shale oil adsorption in the laboratory.

[0006] However, the swelling experiment method can analyze the content of adsorbed oil absorbed by shale through spectroscopy and analyze the component characteristics of the adsorbed oil, but there is interaction between the prepared crude oil, asphalt and toluene solution, in general, the stronger the interaction between the selected crude oil, asphalt and toluene, the more uniform the solution mixture, the more conducive to ensuring the uniformity of the adsorption process of the core sample, but the stronger the interaction, the more it inhibits the adsorption of crude oil and asphalt from the solution by the core sample, thereby affecting the total adsorption amount. The most commonly used experimental method for identifying the content of free oil and adsorbed oil in shale reservoirs, namely the heating release method, is widely used in shale oil exploration in many basins in China, but there are also problems. Since there is no significant difference in the composition of free oil and adsorbed oil, only the occurrence mode is different, and the heating release method releases different polar oil components at different temperatures by setting different heating temperatures. According to the different oil components released at different temperatures, the components are divided into free oil and adsorbed oil and their respective contents are calculated, but it cannot be determined whether the hydrocarbons released at a certain temperature are free oil or adsorbed oil.

[0007] These shortcomings of the swelling experiment method and the heating release method affect the reliability of the adsorbed oil content data obtained from the shale oil reservoirs by relying on the prior art solutions, thereby adversely affecting the evaluation and reserve calculation of shale oil reservoirs. In addition, the existing technical solutions cannot simultaneously consider the relationship between the adsorbed oil content and the adsorbed oil components in shale oil reservoirs, and cannot provide experimental data support on the occurrence mechanism of shale oil for shale oil mobility research.

[0008] The Chinese patent document with publication number CN115701640A and publication date of February 10, 2023 discloses a molecular simulation method for calculating the content of adsorbed oil in shale, which includes the following steps:

[0009] (1) Obtain the mineral component information, kerogen information and shale oil component information contained in different shale samples, and the specific surface area and pore structure information of the shale samples;

[0010] (2) Select representative indicators in the obtained mineral component information, kerogen information, shale oil component information and specific surface area and pore structure information of the shale samples, respectively, and establish a molecular model for simulating the corresponding shale sample according to the representative indicators;

[0011] (3) Perform molecular dynamics simulation of different shale samples under different temperature, pressure, specific surface area and pore structure conditions using the molecular model established in step (2), obtain the shale oil adsorption density of the shale samples under different temperature, pressure, specific surface area and pore structure conditions, and establish a relationship model between the adsorbed oil content and the mineral components, kerogen and specific surface area of the shale samples;

[0012] (4) According to the actual measurement results of the laboratory, the relationship model obtained in step (3) is corrected to obtain a correction factor and a shale oil adsorption amount calculation model relationship, and the oil adsorption amount of the shale is calculated.

[0013] The molecular simulation method for calculating the adsorbed oil content in shale disclosed in the patent document establishes a theoretical calculation model, which can be applied to different geological conditions in the absence of samples, and has important significance for the evaluation of overseas shale oil and gas resource potential. However, since the proportion of different components in the crude oil in the adsorbed oil cannot be obtained, more accurate adsorbed oil component ratio information cannot be provided, which affects the measurement accuracy of the adsorbed oil content data in the pores of different diameters in the shale.

[0067] 4、Compared with the Chinese patent document with publication number CN115701640A and publication date of February 10, 2023, the shale oil steam formed by evaporation in a high-vacuum environment is adsorbed on the surface of the shale, and is isolated from the external environment, which not only prevents the moisture or nitrogen in the air from interfering with the crude oil adsorption experiment and affecting the experimental results, but also avoids direct heating to crack the kerogen in the shale, destroy the pore structure of the rock, and increase the pore volume of the shale, so as to ensure the measurement accuracy of the shale adsorbed oil content.

[0072] 9. This invention, by designing different adsorption pressure points and analyzing the compositional changes of shale oil vapors of different components at these pressure points, can obtain the lower limit of the minimum occurrence pore size of shale oil of different components; by analyzing the mass change of shale samples before and after adsorption to determine the adsorbed oil content, it can obtain data on the adsorbed oil content in different pore sizes.
