Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oilfield development, and in particular to a shale oil porosity measurement method, a shale oil porosity measurement device, an electronic device and a readable storage medium. Background Art
[0002] As a new type of oil resource, shale oil is crucial in the process of reserve calculation and development plan formulation. The key parameters of reserve calculation are of vital importance, 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, these porosity measurement methods all require the rock samples to be washed with oil and saturated with fluid before the porosity measurement is performed. However, for shale oil cores, there are many difficulties in washing the oil: First, the shale core is dense and has extremely low permeability. The solvent washing and dewatering cycle is very long, and the crude oil in some pores is difficult to be washed 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 the shale core. These cracks are important fluid storage spaces. In the process of porosity measurement, it is necessary to accurately measure the porosity of the shale core containing cracks. However, during the long-term oil washing process, these already very fragile crack systems are very easy to collapse and destroy. The integrity of the core is affected, making subsequent porosity measurement experiments difficult. Even if measurements are performed, the pore volume of the fractured part is lost, resulting in large errors. Third, shale oil cores contain 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. The porosity measurement results of small samples cannot reflect the actual formation conditions. Summary of the Invention

It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the embodiment of the present invention and is not used to limit the embodiment of the present invention.

In the description of the embodiments of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is more than two, unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0065] Example 1
[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram 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 the first sample cylinder, and the shale oil wellhead fluid samples are located in the second sample cylinder.
[0068] Specifically, shale oil core samples and shale oil wellhead fluid samples can be obtained from pre-set wells in the target area. These shale oil core samples and shale oil wellhead fluid samples can be fresh or aged, and can be regular or irregular. The shale oil wellhead fluid sample and the shale oil core sample are from the same shale oil well, so the fluid sample obtained is consistent with the fluid present in the shale oil core, and the shale oil wellhead fluid sample does not contain gas.
[0069] In order to facilitate the measurement of shale oil core samples and shale oil wellhead fluid samples, this embodiment places the shale oil core sample in a first sample cylinder and the shale oil wellhead fluid sample in a 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 a 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 is 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. For example, the connection diagram of the measuring device can be represented by Figure 2 As shown, precision pressure gauges are provided for measuring the pressure in the first gas cylinder and the first sample cylinder respectively, and 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 set up to measure the pressure in the second gas cylinder and the second sample cylinder respectively, and a switch valve is set 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 set on the pipeline between the second gas cylinder and the gas source to control the process of gas injection from the gas source 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 calculating the volume of the shale oil core sample according to the first gas cylinder pressure value and the first sample cylinder pressure value using formula (1);
[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. Wherein, the preset low-pressure gas can be nitrogen, helium, etc., and 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, V1 is the volume of the first gas cylinder, V2 is the volume of the first sample cylinder, P1 is the pressure value of the first gas cylinder, and P2 is the pressure value of the first sample cylinder.
[0077] Similarly, if we calculate the volume of shale oil wellhead fluid sample, then V 样品 is the volume of the shale oil wellhead fluid sample, V1 is the volume of the second gas cylinder, V2 is the volume of the second sample cylinder, P1 is the pressure value of the second gas cylinder, and P2 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 dissolved amount of the pore fluid in the shale oil core and the gas dissolved 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 the shale oil core, P3 is the pressure value of the third gas cylinder, P4 is the pressure value of the third sample cylinder, V1 is the volume of the first gas cylinder, V2 is the volume of the first sample cylinder, Z3 is the gas compressibility factor at the pressure of P3, Z4 is the gas compressibility factor at the pressure of P4, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the experimental temperature;
[0083] Similarly, if the gas dissolved in shale oil wellhead fluid is measured, then n 样品is the gas dissolved content of shale oil wellhead fluid, P3 is the pressure value of the fourth gas cylinder, P4 is the pressure value of the fourth sample cylinder, V1 is the volume of the second gas cylinder, V2 is the volume of the second sample cylinder, Z3 is the gas compressibility factor at the pressure of P3, Z4 is the gas compressibility factor at the pressure of P4, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the experimental temperature.
[0084] Step S400: Determine 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 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 dissolved amount of the pore fluid of the shale oil core, and the gas dissolved 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, the shale oil porosity is calculated using formula (4). Wherein, formulas (3) and (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 the shale oil core, n 流体 is the amount of dissolved gas in 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 a shale oil core sample and a shale oil wellhead fluid sample, and uses a first sample cylinder and a second sample cylinder to determine the volume of the shale oil core sample and the volume of the shale oil wellhead fluid sample. The first sample cylinder and the second sample cylinder are further used to determine the gas dissolved in the pore fluid of the shale oil core and the gas dissolved in the shale oil wellhead fluid. Finally, the shale oil porosity is determined based on the volume of the shale oil core sample, the volume of the shale oil wellhead fluid sample, the gas dissolved in the pore fluid of the shale oil core, and the gas dissolved in the shale oil wellhead fluid. The shale oil porosity determination method provided by the embodiment of the present invention has a wider measurement range and does not require oil washing of the sample, thereby ensuring integrity and improving measurement accuracy.
[0091] Example 2
[0092] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a functional module diagram of a shale oil porosity measurement device 200 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0097] It should be understood that this device corresponds to the aforementioned shale oil porosity determination method embodiment and is capable of performing each of the steps involved in the aforementioned method embodiment. The specific functions of this device can be found in the description above, and a detailed description is omitted here to avoid repetition. The device includes at least one software functional module that can be stored in a memory in the form of software or firmware or embedded in the device's operating system (OS).
[0098] Example 3
[0099] In this embodiment, the following steps are included:
[0100] (1) Obtain samples. Obtain shale oil samples from the target block. Due to the presence of bedding fractures and the drilling and coring process, the fresh shale oil samples obtained are irregular in shape.
[0101] (2) Obtaining shale oil wellhead fluid samples. Obtain fluid samples from the wellhead of the oil well corresponding to the shale oil core sample. The fluid samples do 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. Place 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 Pomars 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 20ml of shale oil wellhead fluid. Repeat step 4 to obtain the amount of gas dissolved in shale oil wellhead fluid under different pressure conditions. Draw a chart of the amount of gas dissolved in shale oil with a volume of 20ml and different pressure conditions, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 The relationship between the amount of dissolved gas and pressure is shown in the figure. The relationship between the amount of dissolved gas and pressure is: n = -3×10 -6 P 3 +6×10 -5 P 2 +5×10 -3 P. Using this chart, we can conclude 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 from steps 4 and 5, we can conclude that the pore volume of the sample at 16.311 MPa is 2.46 ml. Using the formula The porosity of the shale oil sample was calculated to be 8.68%.
