Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oilfield development, and in particular to a shale oil porosity determination method, a shale oil porosity determination device, an electronic device and a readable storage medium. Background Art
[0002] As a new type of petroleum resource, key parameters for shale oil reserve calculation are crucial in the process of reserve calculation and development plan formulation, especially the porosity parameter, which is the basis for understanding the oil storage situation of the oil layer, dividing the main layer, determining the physical boundaries of the effective thickness and interlayer, calculating reserves, and analyzing the production situation of the oil field.
[0003] Commonly used methods for measuring the porosity of rock samples include liquid saturation weighing method, gas porosity determination method, nuclear magnetic resonance method, etc. For oil-bearing rock samples, all of these porosity measurement methods require that the rock samples be washed with oil and saturated with fluid before the porosity is measured. However, there are many difficulties in washing oil for shale oil cores: First, shale cores are dense and have extremely low permeability. The solvent washing and dewatering cycle is very long, and the crude oil in some pores is difficult to wash out, which has a great impact on the subsequent accurate measurement of porosity. Second, there are a large number of bedding fractures and microcracks in shale cores. These cracks are important fluid storage spaces. In the process of porosity measurement, it is necessary to accurately measure the porosity of shale cores containing fractures. However, during the long process of oil washing, these already very fragile fracture systems are very easy to collapse and destroy. The integrity of the core is affected, making it difficult to conduct subsequent porosity measurement experiments. Even if the measurement is barely carried out, the pore volume of the fracture part is lost, resulting in a large error; third, shale oil cores have organic pores and inorganic pores, both of which contain fluids. During the oil washing process with organic solvents, solvents with strong dissolving ability will destroy the organic pores composed mainly of kerogen, affecting the subsequent porosity measurement results; fourth, shale oil has complex lithofacies and strong heterogeneity, and the porosity measurement results of small samples cannot reflect the actual formation conditions.

[0065] Embodiment 1
[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a schematic flow chart of a shale oil porosity determination method provided in this embodiment.
[0067] Step S100: Obtain shale oil core samples and shale oil wellhead fluid samples; wherein the shale oil core samples are located in a first sample cylinder, and the shale oil wellhead fluid samples are located in a second sample cylinder.
[0068] Specifically, shale oil core samples and shale oil wellhead fluid samples of preset wells in the target area can be obtained. Among them, the shale oil core samples and shale oil wellhead fluid samples can be fresh samples or samples that have been placed for a period of time, and the samples can be regular samples or irregular samples; the shale oil wellhead fluid samples and the shale oil core samples are samples of the same shale oil well, so the obtained fluid samples are consistent with the fluids stored in the shale oil core, and the shale oil wellhead fluid samples do not contain gas.
[0069] In order to facilitate the measurement of shale oil core samples and shale oil wellhead fluid samples, in this embodiment, the shale oil core samples are placed in the first sample cylinder, and the shale oil wellhead fluid samples are placed in the second sample cylinder. The first sample cylinder is connected to the second sample cylinder through a preset pipeline, and the connection or disconnection between the first sample cylinder and the second sample cylinder is controlled by the valve on the preset pipeline.
[0070] Step S200: using the first sample cylinder and the second sample cylinder, determining the volume of the shale oil core sample and the volume of the shale oil wellhead fluid sample.
[0071] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the first gas cylinder and the second gas cylinder are respectively provided corresponding to the first sample cylinder and the second sample cylinder, and the first gas cylinder and the second gas cylinder are respectively connected to the gas source. Figure 2 As shown, precision pressure gauges are respectively provided for measuring the pressure in the first gas cylinder and the first sample cylinder, a switch valve is provided on the preset pipeline between the first sample cylinder and the first gas cylinder to control the on-off of the pipeline; a gas source valve is provided on the pipeline between the first gas cylinder and the gas source to control the process of the gas source injecting gas into the first gas cylinder.
[0072] Similarly, precision pressure gauges are provided to measure the pressures in the second gas cylinder and the second sample cylinder respectively, and a switch valve is provided on the preset pipeline between the second sample cylinder and the second gas cylinder to control the on-off of the pipeline; a gas source valve is provided on the pipeline between the second gas cylinder and the gas source to control the process of the gas source injecting gas into the second gas cylinder.
[0073] This step specifically includes: closing the valve between the first sample cylinder and the first gas cylinder, injecting a preset low-pressure gas into the first gas cylinder, and continuously detecting the first gas cylinder pressure value in the first gas cylinder; after the injection is completed and the pressure in the first gas cylinder is stable, recording the first gas cylinder pressure value; when the first gas cylinder pressure is stable, opening the valve between the first sample cylinder and the first gas cylinder, and continuously detecting the first sample cylinder pressure value in the first sample cylinder; after the pressure in the first sample cylinder is stable, recording the first sample cylinder pressure value; and according to the first gas cylinder pressure value and the first sample cylinder pressure value, using formula (1), calculating the volume of the shale oil core sample;
[0074] Inject a preset low-pressure gas into the second gas cylinder and continuously detect the second gas cylinder pressure value in the second gas cylinder. After the injection is completed and the pressure in the second gas cylinder is stable, record the second gas cylinder pressure value. Open the valve between the second sample cylinder and the second gas cylinder and continuously detect the second sample cylinder pressure value in the second sample cylinder. After the pressure in the second sample cylinder is stable, record the second sample cylinder pressure value. According to the second gas cylinder pressure value and the second sample cylinder pressure value, use formula (1) to calculate the volume of the shale oil wellhead fluid sample. The preset low-pressure gas can be nitrogen, helium, etc. Formula (1) is as follows:
[0075]
[0076] In formula (1), if the volume of shale oil core sample is calculated, then V 样品 is the volume of the shale oil core sample, V 1 is the volume of the first gas cylinder, V 2 is the volume of the first sample cylinder, P 1 is the first gas cylinder pressure value, P 2 is the pressure value of the first sample cylinder.
[0077] Similarly, if we calculate the volume of the shale oil wellhead fluid sample, then V 样品 is the volume of shale oil wellhead fluid sample, V 1 is the volume of the second gas cylinder, V 2 is the volume of the second sample cylinder, P 1 is the second gas cylinder pressure value, P 2 is the pressure value of the second sample cylinder.
[0078] Step S300: using the first sample cylinder and the second sample cylinder, determining the gas dissolution amount of the pore fluid of the shale oil core and the gas dissolution amount of the shale oil wellhead fluid.
[0079] It is understandable that when the pressure continues to drop, the gas will gradually diffuse and dissolve into the shale oil pore fluid, which can provide a data basis for calculating the subsequent shale oil pores. Therefore, this step specifically includes: closing the valve between the first sample cylinder and the first gas cylinder, exhausting the preset low-pressure gas in the first gas cylinder and the first sample cylinder, injecting the preset high-pressure gas into the first gas cylinder and continuously detecting the pressure value of the third gas cylinder in the first gas cylinder, after the injection is completed and the pressure in the first gas cylinder is stable, recording the pressure value of the third gas cylinder, opening the valve between the first sample cylinder and the first gas cylinder and continuously detecting the pressure value of the third sample cylinder in the first sample cylinder, after the pressure in the first sample cylinder is stable, recording the pressure value of the third sample cylinder, and according to the pressure value of the third gas cylinder and the pressure value of the third sample cylinder, using formula (2), calculating the gas dissolved amount in the shale oil core pore fluid;
[0080] Close the valve between the second sample cylinder and the second gas cylinder, exhaust the preset low-pressure gas in the second gas cylinder and the second sample cylinder, inject the preset high-pressure gas into the second gas cylinder and continuously detect the pressure value of the fourth gas cylinder in the second gas cylinder. After the injection is completed and the pressure in the second gas cylinder is stable, record the pressure value of the fourth gas cylinder. Open the valve between the second sample cylinder and the second gas cylinder and continuously detect the pressure value of the fourth sample cylinder in the second sample cylinder. After the pressure in the second sample cylinder is stable, record the pressure value of the fourth sample cylinder. According to the pressure value of the fourth gas cylinder and the pressure value of the fourth sample cylinder, use formula (2) to calculate the gas dissolved content of the shale oil wellhead fluid. This embodiment also provides a line graph of the change of the gas dissolved content of the shale oil wellhead fluid under different pressure conditions, such as Figure 4 As shown, the greater the pressure, the greater the amount of gas dissolved in the shale oil wellhead fluid. The preset high-pressure gas can be carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, etc., and formula (2) is as follows:
[0081]
[0082] In formula (2), if the gas dissolved in the pore fluid of shale oil core is measured, then n 样品 is the gas dissolved in the pore fluid of shale oil core, P 3 is the third gas cylinder pressure value, P 4 is the pressure value of the third sample cylinder, V 1 is the volume of the first gas cylinder, V 2 is the volume of the first sample cylinder, Z 3 The pressure is P 3 The gas compressibility factor, Z 4 The pressure is P 4The gas compressibility factor at this time, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the experimental temperature;
[0083] Similarly, if we measure the gas dissolution content of shale oil wellhead fluid, then n 样品 is the gas dissolved content of shale oil wellhead fluid, P 3 is the fourth gas cylinder pressure value, P 4 is the pressure value of the fourth sample cylinder, V 1 is the volume of the second gas cylinder, V 2 is the volume of the second sample cylinder, Z 3 The pressure is P 3 The gas compressibility factor, Z 4 The pressure is P 4 is the gas compressibility factor at , R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the experimental temperature.
[0084] Step S400: Determine the shale oil porosity according to the volume of the shale oil core sample, the volume of the shale oil wellhead fluid sample, the gas solubility of the shale oil core pore fluid and the gas solubility of the shale oil wellhead fluid.
[0085] Since the solubility of gas in fluid is a constant under the same pressure conditions, the amount of dissolved gas in the fluid is proportional to the volume of the fluid. Therefore, this step specifically includes calculating the pore volume of the shale oil sample using formula (3) based on the volume of the shale oil wellhead fluid sample, the gas dissolution amount of the pore fluid of the shale oil core, and the gas dissolution amount of the shale oil wellhead fluid. Further, based on the pore volume of the shale oil sample and the volume of the shale oil core sample, using formula (4), the shale oil porosity is calculated. Wherein, formula (3) and formula (4) are specifically as follows:
[0086]
[0087] In formula (3), V 样品孔隙 is the pore volume of shale oil sample, V 流体 is the volume of shale oil wellhead fluid sample, n 样品 is the gas dissolved in the pore fluid of shale oil core, n 流体 is the amount of dissolved gas in the shale oil wellhead fluid;
[0088]
[0089] In formula (4), φ is the porosity of shale oil, V 样品孔隙 is the pore volume of shale oil sample, V 样品 is the volume of the shale oil core sample.
[0090] This embodiment obtains shale oil core samples and shale oil wellhead fluid samples, uses the first sample cylinder and the second sample cylinder to determine the volume of the shale oil core sample and the volume of the shale oil wellhead fluid sample, further uses the first sample cylinder and the second sample cylinder to determine the gas dissolution amount of the shale oil core pore fluid and the gas dissolution amount of the shale oil wellhead fluid, and finally determines the shale oil porosity based on the volume of the shale oil core sample, the volume of the shale oil wellhead fluid sample, the gas dissolution amount of the shale oil core pore fluid and the gas dissolution amount of the shale oil wellhead fluid. The shale oil porosity determination method provided by the embodiment of the present invention has a wider measurement orientation, and the sample does not need to be washed with oil, which ensures integrity and improves measurement accuracy.
[0091] Embodiment 2
[0092] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 It is a functional module schematic diagram of a shale oil porosity measuring device 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0097] It should be understood that the device corresponds to the above-mentioned shale oil porosity determination method embodiment and can perform the various steps involved in the above-mentioned method embodiment. The specific functions of the device can be found in the above description. To avoid repetition, the detailed description is appropriately omitted here. The device includes at least one software function module that can be stored in a memory in the form of software or firmware or solidified in the operating system (OS) of the device.
[0098] Embodiment 3
[0099] In this embodiment, the following steps are included:
[0100] (1) Obtaining samples. Obtain shale oil samples from the target block. Since shale oil samples contain bedding fractures and are produced during the drilling and coring process, the fresh shale oil samples obtained are irregular in shape.
[0101] (2) Obtaining shale oil wellhead fluid samples. Obtain a wellhead fluid sample from the oil well corresponding to the shale oil core sample. The fluid sample does not include gas.
[0102] (3) Measure the apparent volume of the shale oil core sample. Carry out subsequent experiments at room temperature of 25°C. Load the shale oil core sample into the sample cylinder of the measuring device and connect the process. Close the valve between the sample cylinder and the gas cylinder, fill the gas cylinder with low-pressure nitrogen, close the gas source valve, and use a precision pressure gauge to record the pressure of the gas cylinder when it is stable, which is 0.8MPa. Open the valve between the sample cylinder and the gas cylinder to connect the two, and use a precision pressure gauge to record the pressure of the sample cylinder, which is 0.466MPa. At this time, the pressures of the sample cylinder and the gas cylinder are the same. The volume of the sample cylinder is 100ml and the volume of the gas cylinder is 100ml. According to the Paul-Marshal law: The apparent volume of the shale oil core sample is 28.33 cm 3 .
[0103] (4) Measure the amount of gas dissolved in the pore fluid of the shale oil core. Vent the gas in step 3, close the valve between the sample cylinder and the gas cylinder, fill the gas cylinder with high-pressure nitrogen, close the gas source valve, and use a precision pressure gauge to record the pressure of the gas cylinder when it is stable at 30MPa. Open the valve between the sample cylinder and the gas cylinder to connect the two. At this time, it can be observed that the pressure of the entire system is continuously decreasing. At this time, the gas gradually diffuses and dissolves into the pore fluid of the shale oil core. After the pressure stabilizes, use a precision pressure gauge to record the stable pressure of the sample cylinder at 16.311MPa. Using the formula The amount of nitrogen dissolved in the pore fluid is calculated to be 0.010393 mol.
[0104] (5) Draw a chart of dissolved gas in shale oil wellhead fluid under different pressure conditions. Take out the shale oil core sample from the sample cylinder and clean the entire experimental process. Fill the sample cylinder with shale oil wellhead fluid and repeat step 3 to obtain the volume of 20 ml of shale oil wellhead fluid. Repeat step 4 to obtain the amount of gas dissolved in the shale oil wellhead fluid under different pressure conditions. Draw a chart of the amount of gas dissolved in shale oil with a volume of 20 ml and under different pressure conditions, such as Figure 4 As shown. The relationship between the amount of dissolved gas and pressure obtained by fitting is: n = -3 × 10 -6 P 3 +6×10 -5 P 2 +5×10 -3P. Using this chart, it can be concluded that the amount of dissolved gas corresponding to a shale oil volume of 20 ml and a pressure of 16.311 MPa is 0.084499 mol.
[0105] (6) Since the solubility of gas in fluid is constant under the same pressure conditions, the amount of dissolved gas in the fluid is proportional to the volume of the fluid. Using the data in steps 4 and 5, we can conclude that the pore volume of the sample under 16.311 MPa pressure is 2.46 ml. Using the formula The porosity of the shale oil sample was calculated to be 8.68%.
