Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of energy simulation experiments, and in particular to a two-dimensional physical simulation experimental device and an experimental method for utilization and storage of CO2 in gas reservoirs. Background Art
[0002] Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology refers to the process of separating CO2 from industrial processes, energy utilization or the atmosphere, and directly utilizing or injecting it into the formation to achieve permanent CO2 emission reduction. It is of great significance to mitigate global warming and protect the environment. Injecting CO2 into a gas reservoir can, on the one hand, effectively displace natural gas through the mass transfer and diffusion of CO2, and on the other hand, a considerable portion of the injected gas is sealed underground, thereby effectively achieving carbon sequestration. When CO2 is injected into a gas reservoir, CO2 and natural gas will be mixed. The plume phenomenon and mass transfer and diffusion behavior of CO2 in the formation determine the natural gas recovery effect. In view of the complex phase state and flow behavior of supercritical CO2 after injection into a natural gas reservoir, theoretical numerical simulation research needs to be improved. Physical simulation experimental research is the most realistic way to accurately study the diffusion and mass transfer behavior of CO2 injected into a gas reservoir. At present, some related technologies have been disclosed.
[0003] Patent CN202410231214.3 discloses a real-time monitoring device for carbon dioxide displacement under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions. The device mainly uses nuclear magnetic resonance technology to monitor the H element in the rock, measure the oil and water distribution in the model, and indirectly observe the distribution of CO2 through the distribution changes of oil and water. The device can only monitor CO2 in the presence of oil or water, and cannot perform CO2 displacement experiments on natural gas. In addition, nuclear magnetic resonance instruments are expensive and have large operating restrictions.
[0004] Patent CN202211406780.0 discloses a simulation method for monitoring the distribution of carbon dioxide in the process of carbon dioxide displacement of methane. The method is to arrange each chromatographic sampling tube and each pressure sampling tube in a number of concentric circles evenly and vertically through the coal seam floor. The chromatographic sampling tube and the pressure sampling tube on the same circumference are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. The upper ends of each chromatographic sampling tube and each pressure sampling tube are inserted into the coal reservoir. The lower ends of each chromatographic sampling tube are connected to a gas chromatograph, and the concentration changes of CO2 at different positions of the coal seam floor are monitored by the gas chromatograph. The method has a complex device layout, a large number of gas chromatographs required, and a high cost. At the same time, the gas chromatograph takes a long time to measure the gas components each time, and the concentration of CO2 has been changing during the measurement process, and it is impossible to achieve real-time monitoring of the concentration changes of CO2.
[0005] The main problem with the existing technology is that it is impossible to characterize the reservoir diffusion and mass transfer law of CO2-natural gas under in-situ formation conditions. Therefore, this application proposes a physical simulation experimental device for CO2 storage in gas reservoirs, which uses CO2 extracted with an indicator to be injected into a sand-filled model saturated with natural gas to conduct a gas drive experiment, and then uses an X-CT scanner to scan the long core model at different times, and the attenuated X-rays are projected onto the developing paper. Use a high-definition camera to take pictures of the developing paper at different times, and perform statistical processing on the light intensity of each point in the developing paper pictures at different times, so as to obtain the CO2 concentration at different points at different times, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of the CO2 distribution state at different times in the core model, and studying the CO2 drive mechanism, migration and storage law.

[0013] A core model is installed on the inner side of the right end cover through a bracket. The core model includes a lower cover plate, developing paper, a transparent rubber sleeve, a fixing frame, a sand filling model and an upper cover plate. The developing paper is fixed at the bottom of the lower cover plate, the sand filling model is placed in the middle of the transparent rubber sleeve, the front end of the fixing frame is wrapped with a transparent rubber sleeve, and the rear end of the fixing frame is fixed to the lower cover plate and the upper cover plate by bolts.

[0015] Preferably, a valve is provided at the connection between the core model holder and the pressure gauge.
[0016] Preferably, a two-dimensional physical simulation experimental method for CO2 utilization and storage in gas reservoirs comprises the experimental device described in claims 1-3, and the experimental device comprises the following steps:
[0017] Step 1: Make a sand filling model and complete the model assembly. According to the physical parameters of the target oil reservoir and the reservoir characteristic parameters, make a sand filling model, and drill a small plunger model to test its permeability, porosity and other physical parameters until it meets the requirements;
[0018] Step 2: Calibrate the absorption coefficient K of CO2 extracted with the indicator, inject CO2 into the vacuumed sand-filled model, and compare the scanning and photographing results with the initial picture after CO2 invades the model. The relationship between the total brightness change and the total substance increase relative to the initial picture can be expressed as:
[0019]
[0020] Among them, K is the absorption rate of the substance, l is the thickness of the substance, C is the concentration of the absorbing substance, I0 is the initial light intensity, and I t is the light intensity after passing through the substance.
[0021] Before the CO2 breaks through to the outlet of the core model, the total amount of injected CO2 is equal to the increased CO2 content in the model. Divide the corresponding points of each picture and then take the logarithm and sum, that is, K∑(l*c), where ∑(l*c) is the thickness of each point multiplied by the concentration, that is, the sum of the CO2 content, which is equal to the injected CO2 amount. In this way, the absorption coefficient K of the CO2 extracting the indicator can be calibrated;
[0022] Step 3: Saturate the formation gas. Open the intermediate container 15, and then inject nitrogen into the clamping device kettle body through the ISCO piston confining pressure pump to maintain the confining pressure Pconf; then, evacuate the sand-packed model with a vacuum pump, set the backpressure pump 13 to the target formation pressure P0 (P0 < Pconf), then open the intermediate container 5, and inject formation gas into the sand-packed model through the ISCO piston double pump. When the internal air pressure of the model stabilizes to the pressure P0, stop injecting, and record the injected formation gas volume V0 to complete the formation gas saturation;
[0023] Step 4: Depletion exploitation. Reduce the pressure of the backpressure pump 13 at a reasonable gradient speed to slowly deplete the natural gas inside the sand-packed model. At the same time, record the produced gas volume V1 through the gas flowmeter 12, and measure the components of the produced natural gas with the gas chromatograph 42. At this time, the recovery rate of depletion exploitation is
[0024] Step 5: Inject CO2 to displace gas and improve the recovery rate. Open the X-ray scanning system and the ISCO piston double pump 1, and inject CO2 into the sand-packed model. Record the injected CO2 gas volume V2, let the CO2 displace the formation natural gas, and the outlet flowmeter measures the produced gas volume V3 at all times. At the same time, obtain the concentration of CO2 and the natural gas concentration Cg in the produced gas through the gas chromatograph. At the same time, the X-CT scanner emits X-rays to the sand-packed model at all times. After the X-rays pass through the sand-packed model, they are projected onto the developing paper. Then, set a reasonable exposure time for the high-definition camera, take pictures of the developing paper at different gas displacement times, and then process the pictures to obtain a high-resolution distribution map of CO2 in the rock, so as to study the migration path and distribution law of CO2 during the process of injecting CO2 to improve the recovery rate and storage.

[0026] 1. The two-dimensional physical simulation experimental device and experimental method of CO2 utilization and storage in the gas reservoir are used to conduct CO2 injection to improve the recovery rate and storage experiment in the gas reservoir. According to the physical parameters of the target oil reservoir and the reservoir characteristic parameters, the sand filling model is made. In a certain production stage of the gas reservoir (such as the middle and late stages of gas reservoir depletion exploitation), CO2 is injected to improve the recovery rate of natural gas and a storage simulation experiment is conducted.
[0027] 2. The two-dimensional physical simulation experimental device and experimental method for CO2 utilization and storage in the gas reservoir are used to optimize the timing of CO2 injection to improve the recovery rate and storage, and CO2 is injected at different times to displace natural gas. The final recovery rate at different injection times and the CO2 storage amount in the model are detected and compared by gas chromatograph, so as to optimize the timing of CO2 injection to improve the recovery rate and storage of natural gas.
[0028] 3. The two-dimensional physical simulation experimental device and experimental method for CO2 utilization and storage in the gas reservoir are used to study the migration path and distribution law of CO2 during CO2 injection to improve the recovery rate and storage. The position of CO2 extracted with X-ray indicators (ethyl iodide or propyl iodide, etc.) in the sand filling model is identified by X-ray scanning.

[0042] The gas reservoir CO2 storage physical simulation experimental device can carry out high-temperature and high-pressure CO2 displacement and storage experiments, and monitor the distribution of CO2 in the core model in real time to form a high-resolution CO2 plume distribution map. The CO2 plume distribution map identifies the distribution based on the following principles:
[0043] X-rays have strong penetrability. Through X-rays, the internal conditions of the core can be observed directly through titanium alloy or aluminum alloy holders. CO2 has a strong extraction ability. Under high temperature and high pressure conditions, it is relatively easy to add volatile oily markers (such as ethyl iodide, propyl iodide, etc.). After adding the marker, while increasing the attenuation rate of CO2 to X-rays, the effect on the characteristics of CO2 itself is relatively small. Therefore, ethyl iodide (or propyl iodide, etc.) can be used as an X-ray indicator to add to CO2, so that X-ray CT can easily show the position of CO2, and the intensity of the rays projected onto the developing paper will also be different. By setting the appropriate exposure time of the high-definition camera, shooting the developing paper, and then processing the photos, a high-resolution distribution map of CO2 in the rock can be obtained.
[0044] Calculation method:
[0045] The attenuation law of X-rays passing through matter can generally be described by the Lambert-Beer law. The formula is:
[0046]
[0047] In the formula, K is the absorption rate of the material, 1 is the thickness of the material, and C is the concentration of the absorbing material. I0 is the initial light intensity, I t is the intensity of light after passing through a substance. For a point, the logarithm of the ratio of the light intensity after attenuation to the light intensity before attenuation of the same substance is taken, and the result is linearly related to the thickness of the substance.
[0048] After CO2 invades the model, the scanning results are compared with the initial picture. The relationship between the total brightness change and the total material increase relative to the initial picture can be expressed as:
[0049]
[0050] Before CO2 breaks through to the core model outlet, the total amount of CO2 injected is equal to the increased CO2 content in the model. Divide the corresponding points of each image and then take the logarithm sum, that is, K∑(l*c), where ∑(l*c) is the thickness of each point multiplied by the concentration, that is, the sum of the CO2 content, which is equal to the amount of CO2 injected. In this way, the CO2 absorption coefficient K of the indicator with different degrees of extraction can be calibrated.
[0051] During the experiment, corresponding pictures were obtained at different stages of shooting. The light intensity at the same point in the pictures taken at different time points was divided and the logarithm was taken, and then divided by the calibrated absorption coefficient K. The concentration of CO2 absorbed at each pixel can be obtained, and the specific distribution of CO2 at different positions can be obtained.
[0052] Implementation method: A two-dimensional physical simulation experimental method for CO2 utilization and storage in gas reservoirs, comprising the following steps:
[0053] Step 1: Make a sand-filled model and complete model assembly;
[0054] According to the physical parameters of the target reservoir and the reservoir characteristic parameters, a sand filling model is made, and a small plunger model is drilled to test its physical parameters such as permeability and porosity until it meets the requirements. Then the configured sand filling model 41 and the fixing frame 37 are placed in the rubber sleeve 36 in turn, and placed on the developing paper in the lower cover plate 34, and the upper cover plate 38 is covered. The fixing frame is fixed to the upper and lower cover plates with bolts, and then the upper and lower cover plates are fixed and sealed with bolts. The made model is fixed on the right end cover 32 of the clamp 8. The heating plate 27 is installed in the kettle body 31, and the line connection is checked to be normal, and the temperature monitoring and control are accurate and stable. Then, the right end cover 32 and the left end cover 33 are connected and fixed to the kettle body 31 by bolts, and the sealing is ensured by the rubber sealing ring 24. After the clamp is assembled, the CO2 displacement system, the X-ray scanning system, and the metering system are connected and assembled in turn.
[0055] Step 2: calibrate the absorption coefficient K of CO2 extracted with the indicator;
[0056] Inject CO2 into the vacuumed sand-filled model. After CO2 enters the model, compare the scanned image with the initial image. The relationship between the total brightness change and the total material increase relative to the initial image can be expressed as:
[0057]
[0058] Where K is the absorption rate of the material, 1 is the thickness of the material, and C is the concentration of the absorbing material. I0 is the initial light intensity, I t is the intensity of light after passing through a substance.
[0059] Before the CO2 breaks through to the outlet of the core model, the total amount of injected CO2 is equal to the increased CO2 content in the model. Divide the corresponding points of each picture and then take the logarithmic sum, that is, K∑(l*c), where ∑(l*c) is the thickness of each point multiplied by the concentration, that is, the sum of the CO2 content, which is equal to the injected CO2 amount. In this way, the absorption coefficient K of the CO2 extracting the indicator can be calibrated.
[0060] Step 3: Saturate the formation gas;
[0061] Open the intermediate container 15, and then inject nitrogen into the holder autoclave through the ISCO piston confining pressure pump to maintain the confining pressure Pconf; then, evacuate the sand-packed model with a vacuum pump, set the backpressure pump 13 to the target formation pressure P0 (P0 < Pconf), then open the intermediate container 5, and inject formation gas into the sand-packed model through the ISCO piston double pump. When the internal pressure of the model stabilizes to the pressure P0, stop injecting and record the injected formation gas volume V0 to complete the saturation of the formation gas.
[0062] Step 4: Depletion production;
[0063] Reduce the pressure of the backpressure pump 13 at a reasonable gradient speed to slowly deplete the natural gas inside the sand-packed model. At the same time, record the produced gas volume V1 through the gas flow meter 12, and measure the components of the produced natural gas with the gas chromatograph 42. At this time, the recovery rate of depletion production is
[0064] Step 5: Inject CO2 to displace gas and improve the recovery rate;
[0065] Turn on the X-ray scanning system, including the X-ray scanning control computer 17, the high-definition camera 20, and the X-CT scanner 30. Open the intermediate container 4, and then inject CO2 into the sand-packed model through the ISCO piston double pump 1. Record the injected CO2 gas volume V2, let the CO2 displace the formation natural gas, and the outlet flow meter measures the produced gas volume V3 at all times. At the same time, obtain the CO2 concentration and natural gas concentration Cg in the produced gas through the gas chromatograph. At the same time, the X-CT scanner emits X-rays to the sand-packed model at all times, and the X-rays pass through the sand-packed model and are projected onto the developing paper. Then, the high-definition camera sets a reasonable exposure time and takes pictures of the developing paper at different gas displacement times.
[0066] Divide the light intensities of the same-position points on the photos at different times, take the logarithm, and then divide by the calibrated absorption coefficient K to obtain the concentration of CO2 absorbed by each pixel point, and obtain the distribution and concentration of CO2 at different positions:
[0067]
[0068] Among them, K is the absorption rate of the substance, 1 is the thickness of the substance, C iis the concentration of the absorbing substance. 0i is the initial light intensity at point i on the developing paper, I ti is the light intensity at point i on the developing paper at time t when the gas is driven.
[0069] At the same time, the total recovery after gas flooding can be obtained as The CO2 storage capacity is

4. A two-dimensional physical simulation experimental method for CO2 utilization and storage in gas reservoirs, comprising the experimental device according to claims 1-3, characterized in that: The experimental setup includes the following steps: Step 1: Make a sand filling model and complete the model assembly. According to the physical parameters of the target oil reservoir and the reservoir characteristic parameters, make a sand filling model, and drill a small plunger model to test its permeability, porosity and other physical parameters until it meets the requirements; Step 2: Calibrate the absorption coefficient K of the CO2 extracted with the indicator. Inject CO2 into the sand-packed model after evacuation. After the CO2 invades the model, compare the scanning and photographing results with the initial picture. The relationship between the total brightness change and the total mass increase relative to the initial photograph can be expressed as: Where K is the absorption rate of the material, 1 is the thickness of the material, and C is the concentration of the absorbing material. I0 is the initial light intensity, I t is the intensity of light after passing through a substance. Before the CO2 breaks through to the outlet of the core model, the total amount of injected CO2 is equal to the increased CO2 content in the model. Divide the corresponding points of each picture and then take the logarithm and sum, that is, K∑(l*c), where ∑(l*c) is the thickness of each point multiplied by the concentration, that is, the sum of the CO2 content, equal to the injected CO2 amount. Thus, the absorption coefficient K of the CO2 extracted with the indicator can be calibrated; Step 3: Saturate the formation gas. Open the intermediate container 15, and then inject nitrogen into the holder autoclave through the ISCO piston confining pressure pump to maintain the confining pressure Pconf. Then, evacuate the sand-packed model with a vacuum pump. Set the backpressure pump 13 to the target formation pressure P0 (P0 < Pconf), then open the intermediate container 5, and inject formation gas into the sand-packed model through the ISCO piston double pump. When the internal pressure of the model stabilizes at the pressure P0, stop the injection and record the injected formation gas volume V0 to complete the saturation of the formation gas; Step 4: exhaustion exploitation: reduce the pressure of the back pressure pump 13 at a reasonable gradient rate to allow the natural gas inside the sand filling model to exhaust slowly. At the same time, the gas volume V1 is recorded by the gas meter 12, and the components of the produced natural gas are measured by the gas chromatograph 42. At this time, the recovery rate of exhaustion exploitation is Step 5: Inject CO2 to displace gas to improve oil recovery. Turn on the X-ray scanning system through the ISCO piston double pump 1, and inject CO2 into the sand-packed model. Record the injected CO2 gas volume V2. Let the CO2 displace the formation natural gas. The outlet flowmeter measures the produced gas volume V3 at all times. At the same time, obtain the CO2 concentration and natural gas concentration Cg in the produced gas through a gas chromatograph. At the same time, the X-CT scanner emits X-rays towards the sand-packed model at all times. After the X-rays pass through the sand-packed model, they are projected onto the developing paper. Then, set a reasonable exposure time for the high-definition camera to take pictures of the developing paper at different gas displacement times, and then process the pictures to obtain a high-resolution distribution map of CO2 in the rock, so as to study the migration path and distribution law of CO2 during the process of injecting CO2 to improve oil recovery and storage.
