Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unconventional oil and gas production, and in particular to a method and system for studying the effect of pore-scale wettability on shale oil imbibition. Background Art
[0002] Usually, low permeability reservoirs are developed by rapid flowback after fracturing to reduce the damage of fracturing fluid. However, the production practice of multiple shale oil and gas wells in multiple basins in China has proved that imbibition promotes the entry of fracturing fluid into the formation to replace shale oil and gas, thereby reducing the elastic development water content and flowback rate, and increasing the cumulative oil production and recovery. Studies have shown that hydrophilic wetting is the basis for imbibition. Shale reservoirs have developed micro-nano pores, inorganic pores and organic pores coexist, and wettability is complex. The impact of wettability on imbibition is not in-depth, and there is a lack of technical methods to effectively evaluate the impact of wettability.
[0003] Core-scale imbibition experiments are the main way to study the mechanism of imbibition and evaluate the impact of imbibition. Shale oil reservoirs develop inorganic pores and organic pores. The wettability of inorganic pores is hydrophilic, while the wettability of organic pores is oil-wet. Due to the different pore structures of shales and the large differences in wettability of different pores, the core imbibition experiment has poor comparative evaluation of the impact of wettability on imbibition and is difficult to explain the impact mechanism. The pore-scale imbibition mechanism is mainly realized through microfluidic experiments and microscopic simulations. The two methods can intuitively display the pore-scale imbibition process and compare the effects of different parameters on imbibition, providing important support for in-depth interpretation of the imbibition mechanism.
[0004] At present, there are still some shortcomings in the evaluation of the effect of wettability on imbibition, which are as follows: (1) The core experiment is not very comparable, and it is difficult to accurately evaluate the effect of wettability and mixed wetting on imbibition; (2) Microfluidic experiments are greatly restricted by experimental equipment and conditions, and the wettability of pore models is difficult to accurately and freely control; (3) Microfluidic experiments and simulation studies use an ideal pore structure conceptual model, which is difficult to reflect the actual shale pore structure and wettability; (4) There is a lack of evaluation methods for the wettability effect under the conditions of mixed wetting of organic pores and inorganic pores. Summary of the invention
