Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas field development engineering, and particularly relates to an experimental method and device for evaluating the energy enhancement and permeability enhancement effects of thermal-assisted carbon dioxide huff and puff after fracturing of shale reservoirs. Background Technique
[0002] At present, the development of shale reservoirs faces challenges such as low permeability, low porosity, and strong heterogeneity. The applicability of conventional enhanced oil recovery methods such as water flooding and polymer flooding in shale reservoirs is relatively low. The CO2 huff and puff technology has received extensive attention because it can enhance the fluidity of oil and gas and improve the oil recovery rate. Among them, the thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff technology is an effective energy enhancement and permeability enhancement method for low-permeability shale reservoirs. By combining the thermal effect, it further strengthens the CO2 diffusion ability, reduces the viscosity of crude oil, and enhances the oil washing efficiency and energy enhancement effect of CO2. Therefore, this technology has important application potential in the energy enhancement development of shale reservoirs.
[0003] In experimental research, most current studies use CO2 huff and puff experiments under room temperature conditions to evaluate the change of reservoir permeability and production enhancement effect. In addition, some studies use high-temperature and high-pressure reactors or nuclear magnetic resonance and other means to analyze the diffusion behavior of CO2 in shale pores, but lack a systematic analysis of the dynamic evolution of reservoir physical properties in different huff and puff stages, especially the CO2 injection stage - soaking stage - oil production stage, and do not involve the influence of temperature change on reservoir physical property parameters.
[0004] On the other hand, some experimental methods only focus on the CO2 displacement efficiency and fail to comprehensively consider key factors such as gas expansion effect, pore pressure change, and permeability evolution, resulting in insufficient quantitative evaluation of the energy enhancement effect of CO2 huff and puff. Therefore, there is currently a lack of a systematic experimental evaluation method for the energy enhancement and permeability enhancement effects of CO2 huff and puff after fracturing of shale reservoirs.
[0005] In summary, it can be seen that currently, in the process of enhancing production by heat and mass transfer, there is a lack of effective experimental methods and experimental devices for systematically and comprehensively evaluating the energy enhancement and permeability enhancement effects of CO2 huff and puff. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to propose an experimental method and device for evaluating the energy enhancement and permeability enhancement effects of thermal-assisted carbon dioxide huff and puff after fracturing of shale reservoirs, which is used to study the energy enhancement and permeability enhancement mechanism of thermal-assisted supercritical CO2 for developing shale reservoirs. This experimental method overcomes the limitations of the prior art in evaluating the energy enhancement and permeability enhancement effects of thermal-assisted supercritical CO2 on shale reservoirs, and can comprehensively and systematically evaluate the energy enhancement and permeability enhancement effects of CO2 on shale reservoirs in the process of thermal-assisted production enhancement.
[0007] In the experimental method of the present invention, the increase in the permeability of the shale matrix by the CO2 - fracturing fluid - rock under the action of heat and mass transfer and the influence of the energy increase on the diversion capacity of the artificial fractures in the shale are comprehensively considered.
[0008] The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0009] An experimental method for evaluating the effect of heat - assisted carbon dioxide huff and puff on energy and permeability increase after fracturing in a shale reservoir, which comprises the following steps:
[0010] S1. Preparation of shale core samples:
[0011] First, select two shale cores from the same geological reservoir. After cleaning and drying, measure the basic physical properties of the two shale cores, including the original permeability of the shale cores. Select an organic solvent to clean the residual oil in the cores.
[0012] The permeability mentioned is the gas - measured permeability, which can be measured by the displacement method. If there are few internal micro - fractures in the selected shale core and the permeability is too small to be measured by the displacement method, the pressure pulse method can be used for measurement. For relevant methods, refer to the literature "Wang C L, Pan L H, Zhao Y, et al. Analysis of the pressure - pulse propagation in rock: a new approach to simultaneously determine permeability, porosity, and adsorption capacity[J]. Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2019, 52: 4301 - 4317".
[0013] Then, arbitrarily select one of the shale cores to create artificial fractures to obtain a fractured core; and correct the original permeability of the obtained fractured core to obtain the original permeability of the fractured core.
[0014] The other shale core serves as the matrix core, and the original permeability of the matrix core is the original permeability of the shale core in the basic physical properties mentioned above.
[0015] S2. Conduct heat - assisted CO2 huff and puff simulation experimental tests on the matrix core sample and the fractured core sample respectively:
[0016] Heat - assisted CO2 huff and puff simulation experimental test for the matrix core sample:
[0017] 1) After evacuating the matrix core in a reaction kettle, conduct the treatment of saturating the matrix core with an aqueous fracturing fluid.
[0018] 2) Inject CO2 into the reactor. Under the set experimental temperature and pressure conditions, the matrix core saturated with aqueous fracturing fluid interacts with CO2, and the interaction time is set as the soaking time of the experiment.
[0019] 3) After the interaction time of the matrix core ends, turn off the heating. Wait for the reactor to cool to room temperature, relieve the pressure, take out the matrix core and dry it.
[0020] 4) After the dried matrix core cools to room temperature, use the displacement method to measure the permeability of the matrix core after thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff.

[0024] Thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff simulation experiment test for fractured core samples:
[0025] 1) First, evacuate and saturate the fractured core with formation simulated oil; then, inject CO2 into the fractured core until the CO2 is completely diffused into the core fractures.
[0026] During the CO2 injection process, the initial confining pressure is set as the confining pressure when measuring the original permeability of the fractured core in step S1. Subsequently, increase the inlet pressure of the core to make it equal to the inlet pressure when measuring the gas permeability. After gas appears at the outlet, maintain for a certain time to ensure that the CO2 is completely diffused into the core fractures. At this time, the fluid in the core fractures is CO2, and the fluid in the matrix is formation simulated oil.
[0027] 2) Gradually increase the CO2 inlet pressure and the confining pressure, and maintain the pressure difference between the CO2 inlet pressure and the confining pressure until the CO2 inlet pressure increases to the reservoir production pressure, then keep the CO2 inlet pressure constant, and the confining pressure continues to increase to the original overburden pressure of the reservoir formation.
[0028] 3) After CO2 gas channeling occurs, use the displacement method to measure the permeability of the fractured core after depletion development.
[0029] 4) Calculate the damage index of the permeability of the fractured core after fracturing and depletion development according to the following formula:
[0030] ;
[0031] In the formula, E i is the permeability damage index of the fractured core, dimensionless; K f is the original permeability of the fractured core, mD; K fa is the permeability of the fractured core after depletion development, mD.
[0032] 5) Evaluate the energy enhancement efficiency of thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff and the permeability enhancement effect on artificial fractures:
[0033] a. Inject a certain amount of CO2 into the fractured core at a constant pressure. Generally speaking, when simulating the CO2 huff and puff process in the field by experiment, the CO2 huff and puff pressure can be 5 - 10 MPa higher than the current reservoir production pressure.
[0034] b. After the inlet pressure and outlet pressure of the fractured core are stable, heat it to a certain temperature, shut in the well, and monitor and record the inlet pressure and outlet pressure of the fractured core during the shut-in process.
[0035] c. After the shut-in is completed, calculate the average pore pressure after thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff shut-in according to the following formula:
[0036] ;
[0037] In the formula, P Hpa is the average pore pressure after thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff shut-in, MPa; P Hin is the inlet pressure of the fractured core at the end of thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff shut-in, MPa; P Hout is the outlet pressure of the fractured core at the end of thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff shut-in, MPa.
[0038] d. Take the average pore pressure after shut-in as the outlet pressure of the fractured core, inject CO2, monitor and record the pressure difference at both ends and the CO2 flow rate at the outlet end, and calculate the permeability of the fractured core at the end of thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff shut-in.
[0039] e. Calculate the energy enhancement efficiency of thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff according to the following formula:
[0040] ;
[0041] In the formula, P o is the current reservoir production pressure, MPa; λ He is the energy enhancement efficiency of thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff, %; P Hpais the average pore pressure after soaking during thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff, MPa.
[0042] f. Calculate the enhanced permeability level of fractures during thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff according to the following formula:
[0043] ;
[0044] In the formula, L Hf is the enhanced permeability level of fractures during thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff, %; K Hf is the permeability of the fractured core at the end of soaking during thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff, mD; K fa is the permeability of the fractured core after depletion development, mD.
[0045] In the present invention, the experimental method for evaluating the energy and permeability enhancement effects of thermal-assisted carbon dioxide huff and puff after fracturing in a shale reservoir further includes evaluating the improvement level of fracture aperture during thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff. The specific operation is as follows:
[0046] First step, simulate ordinary CO2 huff and puff for the fractured core sample and evaluate its energy enhancement efficiency and permeability enhancement effect on artificial fractures:
[0047] a. First, inject a certain amount of CO2 into the fractured core at a constant pressure at room temperature. The injection amount of this CO2 is the same as the injection amount of CO2 used for soaking during the simulation of thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff for the fractured core sample;
[0048] Then, soak the well and monitor and record the inlet pressure and outlet pressure of the fractured core during the soaking process.
[0049] b. After the soaking is completed, calculate the average pore pressure after soaking during ordinary CO2 huff and puff according to the following formula:
[0050] ;
[0051] In the formula, P pa is the average pore pressure after soaking during ordinary CO2 huff and puff, MPa; P in is the inlet pressure of the fractured core at the end of soaking during ordinary CO2 huff and puff, MPa; P out is the outlet pressure of the fractured core at the end of soaking during ordinary CO2 huff and puff, MPa.
[0052] c. Take the average pore pressure after soaking as the outlet pressure of the fractured core, inject CO2, monitor and record the pressure difference at both ends and the CO2 flow rate at the outlet end, and calculate the permeability of the fractured core at the end of soaking during ordinary CO2 huff and puff.
[0053] d. Calculate the energy enhancement efficiency of ordinary CO2 huff and puff according to the following formula:
[0054] ;
[0055] In the formula, λ e is the energy enhancement efficiency of ordinary CO2 huff and puff, %; P pa is the average pore pressure after soaking in ordinary CO2 huff and puff, MPa; P o is the current reservoir production pressure, MPa.
[0056] e. Calculate the fracture permeability enhancement level of ordinary CO2 huff and puff according to the following formula:
[0057] ;
[0058] In the formula, L f is the fracture permeability enhancement level of ordinary CO2 huff and puff, %; K cf is the permeability of the fracture core after soaking in ordinary CO2 huff and puff, mD; K fa is the permeability of the fracture core after depletion development, mD.
[0059] The second step is to compare the fracture aperture of thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff with that of ordinary CO2 huff and puff:
[0060] During the thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff process, if the matrix rock mainly relies on the dissolution effect of CO2 and fracturing fluid to enhance permeability, and the fracture core permeability enhancement is mainly caused by the increase in fracture aperture due to CO2 thermal expansion, calculate the fracture aperture increase index of thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff according to the following formula:
[0061] ;
[0062] In the formula, E f is the fracture aperture increase index of thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff, dimensionless; P pa is the average pore pressure after soaking in ordinary CO2 huff and puff, MPa; Z Hc is the CO2 compressibility factor under the temperature and pressure conditions of thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff, dimensionless; T Hc is the experimental temperature of thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff, K; Z c is the CO2 compressibility factor under the temperature and pressure conditions of ordinary CO2 huff and puff, dimensionless; T cis the temperature of the ordinary CO2 huff and puff experiment, K; P Hpa is the average pore pressure after soaking in the thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff, MPa.
[0063] The above formula for calculating the fracture aperture increase index of thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff is obtained through the following derivation process:
[0064] First, as described above, during the ordinary CO2 huff and puff and thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff processes, the amount of CO2 in the fracture core system is equal. Therefore, according to the ideal gas law, the following formula can be obtained:
[0065] ;
[0066] In the formula, V c is the volume of CO2 at the end of soaking in the ordinary CO2 huff and puff, %; Z c is the CO2 compressibility factor under the temperature and pressure conditions of the ordinary CO2 huff and puff, dimensionless; R is the molar gas constant, J / (mol·K); T c is the temperature of the ordinary CO2 huff and puff experiment, K; V Hc is the volume of CO2 at the end of soaking in the thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff, %; Z Hc is the CO2 compressibility factor under the temperature and pressure conditions of the thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff, dimensionless; T Hc is the temperature of the thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff experiment, K.
[0067] Furthermore, it can be deduced that: V Hc and V c The relationship between them is as follows: .
[0068] Assume that during the thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff process, the matrix rock mainly relies on the dissolution effect of CO2 and fracturing fluid to enhance permeability, and the main reason for the increase in permeability of the fracture core is the increase in fracture aperture caused by the thermal expansion of CO2. Therefore, V Hc and V c The proportionality coefficient between them is defined as the fracture aperture increase index of thermal-assisted CO2, and thus the following can be obtained:
[0069] ;
[0070] In the formula, E fIt is the fracture aperture increase index of thermal-assisted CO2 huff and puff, dimensionless.

[0073] In the formula, φ 1 is the porosity of the shale core, %; g s is the wet weight of the shale core saturated with dodecane, g; g d is the dry weight of the shale core, g; ρ D is the density of dodecane, g / cm 3 ; d is the diameter of the shale core, cm; l is the length of the shale core, cm.
