Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of physical property analysis of geological cores, and particularly to a device and method for testing the permeability of geological cores. Background Art

[0002] Core permeability refers to the ability of fluids (such as water, oil, and gas) to pass through the pores of rocks, and is one of the important parameters for evaluating the properties of rock reservoirs. The magnitude of permeability directly affects the reservoir quality of rocks and the fluid migration ability, and is a key indicator for evaluating the development potential of oil and gas fields.

[0003] The existing methods for measuring core permeability mainly include the mercury injection method, the osmotic pressure difference method, and the permeability test method.

[0004] The mercury injection method calculates the permeability by measuring the pore volume of the core infiltrated by mercury under a certain pressure. The mercury injection method is a destructive testing method because it requires injecting mercury into the rock pores, which may permanently change the structure of the rock. Mercury is a toxic substance, and there is a risk of mercury leakage and environmental pollution during the operation. This method assumes that the interaction between mercury and rock pores can be ignored, but in fact, mercury may interact with the rock surface, affecting the measurement results.

[0005] This method is more suitable for rock samples with high porosity and good pore connectivity. For rocks with low porosity or complex pore structures, its accuracy will decrease.

[0006] The osmotic pressure difference method places the core sample in a permeameter and calculates the permeability by measuring the velocity of the fluid passing through the core by applying a certain pressure difference. This method requires selecting an appropriate fluid for testing, and different fluids may interact differently with the rock, affecting the measurement results. For rock samples with low permeability, the velocity of the fluid passing through the core may be very slow, resulting in a long testing time. The preparation of the sample needs to be very precise, and any minor defect or crack may cause deviation of the fluid flow path, thus affecting the measurement of permeability.

[0007] The permeability test method places the core sample in a permeameter, applies a certain pressure difference, and calculates the permeability by measuring the volume and time of the fluid passing through the core. Since the volume and time of the fluid passing through the core are measured, the test results may be affected by time. Especially in long-term tests, changes in fluid properties may affect the results. The saturation of the sample must be uniform and consistent, otherwise it will affect the flow behavior of the fluid and the calculation of permeability. This method usually requires the core sample to have a certain size and shape, and may not be applicable to irregular or small-sized samples. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a geological core permeability testing device and method. The following technical solutions are adopted:

[0009] A geological core permeability testing device includes a nuclear magnetic resonance unit, an acoustic wave propagation testing unit, a pressure testing unit, and a permeability analysis and calculation unit;

[0010] The nuclear magnetic resonance unit is used to perform NMR testing on a geological core sample to obtain a first permeability value of the core sample;

[0011] The sample inlet of the acoustic wave propagation testing unit is communicated with the sample outlet of the nuclear magnetic resonance unit. The acoustic wave propagation testing unit is used to perform acoustic wave propagation testing on a geological core sample to obtain a second permeability value of the core sample;

[0012] The pressure testing unit is used to perform confining pressure testing on a geological core sample under simulated formation pressure conditions to obtain a third permeability value of the core sample;

[0013] The permeability analysis and calculation unit communicates and exchanges test results with the nuclear magnetic resonance unit, the acoustic wave propagation testing unit, and the pressure testing unit respectively, and calibrates the third permeability value by using the first permeability value and the second permeability value to output the geological core permeability value.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions, by combining three different methods of NMR, acoustic wave propagation testing, and pressure testing, the permeability of geological cores can be evaluated more comprehensively. Both NMR and acoustic wave propagation testing are non-destructive methods, and multiple tests can be carried out without damaging the core sample, maintaining the integrity of the sample and facilitating subsequent other analyses.

[0015] NMR testing provides information about porosity, pore size distribution, and fluid type. Acoustic wave propagation testing provides information about the elastic properties and pore structure of the core, while pressure testing simulates actual formation conditions. These multi-parameter measurements help to understand the core's permeability characteristics more deeply.

[0016] By calibrating the permeability value obtained by pressure testing with the permeability values obtained by using NMR and acoustic wave propagation testing, the accuracy of the final permeability value can be improved, and the error that may be brought by a single testing method is reduced.

[0017] Through automation and data integration, the time for manual operation and data processing is reduced, and the testing efficiency is improved.

[0018] The device can adapt to different types of cores and samples with different permeability ranges, and is applicable to a variety of geological exploration and development scenarios.

[0019] Through the comprehensive analysis of data from different test units by the permeability analysis calculation unit, the unity and consistency of the final permeability data can be ensured.

[0020] An efficient, accurate, and environmentally friendly geological core permeability testing device is provided, which helps to improve the economic efficiency and safety of oil and gas field development.

[0021] Optionally, it further includes a sample injection unit. The sample injection unit includes a cleaning device and a drying device. The cleaning device is provided with an inlet for geological core samples. The cleaning device is used to remove impurities on the surface of the core sample. The drying device is used to dry the core sample after cleaning. An outlet is provided at the bottom of the sample injection unit, and an electric control door is installed at the outlet. When the drying device completes the drying operation, the electric control door is opened, and the core sample falls into the sample inlet of the nuclear magnetic resonance unit.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the cleaning device gently cleans the surface of the core sample with a non-polluting cleaning agent to remove impurities. The cleaned core sample is placed in the drying device to remove excess water, which can ensure the accuracy of subsequent test results.

[0023] Optionally, the nuclear magnetic resonance unit includes a sample injection tube and a nuclear magnetic resonance rock sample analyzer. The inlet of the sample injection tube is communicated with the outlet of the sample injection unit. When the electric control door is opened, the core sample falls through the sample injection tube onto the sample stage of the nuclear magnetic resonance rock sample analyzer. The nuclear magnetic resonance rock sample analyzer performs NMR testing on the sample and outputs the first permeability value.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the nuclear magnetic resonance rock sample analyzer can perform NMR testing and directly output the first permeability value.

[0025] Optionally, the acoustic wave propagation test unit includes an acoustic wave propagation test chamber, an acoustic wave generator, an acoustic wave receiver, an oscilloscope, a signal amplifier, and a chip-based acoustic wave propagation test analysis module. A sample channel tube is provided in the center of the top of the acoustic wave propagation test chamber. The acoustic wave generator and the acoustic wave receiver are symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the acoustic wave propagation test chamber. When the rock sample after NMR testing falls onto the test stage in the middle of the acoustic wave propagation test chamber, the acoustic wave generator emits test acoustic waves towards the middle of the rock sample. The acoustic wave receiver receives the acoustic waves propagated back from the rock sample and converts them into electrical signals and transmits them to the signal amplifier. The oscilloscope is communicatively connected to the signal amplifier. The acoustic wave propagation test analysis module communicatively interacts with the data output port of the oscilloscope for acoustic wave signals and analyzes the collected acoustic wave signals to calculate the second permeability value.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the rock sample that has completed the NMR test falls into the test bench in the middle of the acoustic wave propagation test chamber through the sample channel tube. The acoustic wave generator is activated and emits test acoustic waves with a certain frequency and amplitude towards the middle of the rock sample. These acoustic waves can be pulsed waves or continuous waves, depending on the test requirements and sample characteristics.

[0027] After the acoustic waves propagate through the rock sample, they are received by the acoustic wave receiver. The receiver records the time delay and amplitude change of the acoustic wave propagation. The acoustic wave receiver converts the received acoustic wave signal into an electrical signal and then transmits it to the signal amplifier for amplification processing for subsequent analysis. The oscilloscope is connected to the signal amplifier and is used to display and record the amplified electrical signal. This helps the operator observe the real-time changes of the acoustic wave signal. The acoustic wave propagation test analysis module communicates with the data output port of the oscilloscope and acquires the acoustic wave signal data displayed by the oscilloscope. The acoustic wave propagation test analysis module uses specific algorithms to process the acquired acoustic wave signals, and these algorithms may include time-domain analysis, frequency-domain analysis, waveform analysis, etc.

[0028] Optionally, the pressure test unit includes a pressure test chamber, a pressure simulation module, a pressure test container, a fluid medium injection device, a micro flow sensor, a chip-based pressure controller, and a chip-based pressure test analysis module. The pressure test container is installed in the pressure test chamber. After a core sample is placed in the pressure test container, the pressure simulation module is activated to simulate formation pressure in the pressure test chamber. The pressure controller controls the fluid medium injection device to inject a liquid medium with a set pressure at both ends of the core sample. The micro flow sensor is used to monitor the flow rate of the liquid medium. The pressure test analysis module is communicatively connected to the pressure controller and the micro flow sensor, exchanges the pressure values and fluid flow rates at both ends of the core sample, and calculates the third permeability value.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the core sample that has completed the NMR and acoustic wave propagation tests is placed in the pressure test container. The pressure test container is sealed and prepared for the pressure test. The pressure simulation module is started to simulate formation pressure conditions in the pressure test chamber. This usually involves adjusting the temperature and pressure to predetermined simulated values. The pressure controller activates the fluid medium injection device and starts to inject a liquid medium with a set pressure at both ends of the core sample. The injected pressure should be increased gradually to simulate actual formation pressure conditions. The fluid medium can be saturated brine, kerosene, or light oil, etc. The micro flow sensor monitors and records the flow rate of the liquid medium injected at both ends of the core sample in real time. The flow rate data is crucial for subsequent permeability calculations. The pressure test analysis module communicates with the pressure controller and the micro flow sensor, acquires the pressure values and fluid flow rates at both ends of the core sample. Maintain the pressure for a period of time until the pressure and flow rate reach a stable state.

[0030] Optionally, the permeability analysis calculation unit includes a data acquisition module, a data memory, and a data analysis computer. The data acquisition module is respectively communicatively connected to the data output ends of the nuclear magnetic resonance core analyzer, the acoustic wave propagation test analysis module, and the pressure test analysis module. The data memory is communicatively connected to the data acquisition module, and the data analysis computer is communicatively connected to the data memory. Based on the collected first permeability value, second permeability value, and third permeability value, the geological core permeability value is calculated and output.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the data analysis computer can calculate and output the geological core permeability value based on the three permeability values collected by the data acquisition module.

[0032] For the geological core permeability test method, a geological core permeability test device is used to test the permeability of the core sample, including the following steps:

[0033] Step 1: Select the core sample to be tested from the core library and place the core sample into the sample inlet of the sample injection unit.

[0034] Step 2: Place the cleaned and air-dried core sample into the sample injection tube of the nuclear magnetic resonance unit. The nuclear magnetic resonance core analyzer performs NMR testing on the core sample and outputs the first permeability value.

[0035] Step 3: Place the core sample that has completed the NMR test on the test bench in the middle of the acoustic wave propagation test chamber. The acoustic wave propagation test unit performs acoustic wave propagation testing on the geological core sample to obtain the second permeability value of the core sample.

[0036] Step 4: Place the core sample that has completed the acoustic wave propagation test into the pressure test container of the pressure test unit. The pressure test unit performs confining pressure testing on the geological core sample to obtain the third permeability value of the core sample.

[0037] Step 5: The data analysis computer uses the first permeability value and the second permeability value to calibrate the third permeability value and outputs the calibrated geological core permeability value.

[0038] Optionally, the formula for calculating the first permeability value is:

[0039] ;

[0040] Where is the first permeability value, A is the NMR test proportionality constant, is the transverse relaxation time in the NMR test, is the adjustment exponent, used to adjust the contribution of the value to the permeability estimation, is the volume element, and n is the influence exponent, which determines The influence degree of the integral value of the distribution on the permeability estimation denotes an integral operation with respect to the pore volume having different
