Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of petroleum and natural gas geology, and in particular to an ultra-deep carbonate rock dissolution simulation experimental device and method. Background Art
[0002] With the exploitation of oil and gas resources in medium and shallow layers (burial depth <4500m) and the decline of resource quantity, entering the deep layers (burial depth 4500-6000m) and even ultra-deep layers (burial depth >6000m) of the earth to search for oil and gas resources has become a real need and an important trend in today's oil and gas exploration.
[0003] However, the geological conditions of ultra-deep carbonate rocks are complex, the level of understanding is low, and exploration is difficult. Therefore, the formation mechanism and distribution law of large-scale reservoirs in ultra-deep carbonate rocks have become key scientific issues that need to be urgently solved in oil and gas exploration.
[0004] Water-rock reaction simulation experiment is an important method to study the mechanism of carbonate rock dissolution. It can reproduce the carbonate rock dissolution process under temperature, pressure and fluid control by setting different experimental conditions, thus providing a basis for identifying the laws of carbonate rock dissolution and predicting favorable reservoir development areas.
[0005] Chinese invention patent application CN102435716A discloses a diagenesis simulation experimental device, and Chinese invention patent application CN104407118A discloses an analysis method for carbonate rock dissolution and dissolution benefits, which realizes the use of actual rock plunger samples to carry out rock internal dissolution experimental simulation. The advantage is that the water-rock ratio and hydrodynamic mode during the experiment are relatively close to underground conditions, and the pore evolution inside the rock before and after dissolution can be analyzed. However, the pore types of dolomite samples are complex and diverse, including intercrystalline pores, oolitic pores, caves, cracks, etc. The pore structure often changes during the dissolution process and forms a dominant channel for fluid migration, which will cause the contact area between the fluid and the rock to change, resulting in a decrease in the amount of rock dissolution, which will inevitably affect the accurate understanding of the temperature, pressure and fluid factors on the dissolution effect, and the dolomite water-rock reaction data is not repeatable and reproducible.
[0006] Chinese invention patent application CN105137033A discloses a quantitative evaluation method and device for the surface karst effect of gypsum-carbonate reservoirs, which only focuses on the dissolution effect and quantitative evaluation of gypsum-carbonate rocks in the surface environment, and is not suitable for the high temperature and high pressure conditions of dolomite water-rock reaction in the burial stage; although it takes into account the influence of gypsum components in rock samples on dissolution, it ignores the factors of formation water properties. However, dolomite is widely present in the formation, and fluid properties are the key factors affecting dolomite dissolution and precipitation; the form of immersing rock samples in solution is adopted, and the water-rock ratio and hydrodynamic mode do not conform to the actual underground situation, and the chemical connotation represented by the rock dissolution amount is unclear.
[0007] Chinese invention patent CN106323812B (patent number: CN201510387709.6) discloses a test device for water-rock simulation flow test, including a control unit; a reactor with multiple sample tubes arranged inside; a constant flow pump, which includes multiple piston cylinders, multiple reversing units and a driving mechanism. In this device, multiple groups of water-rock simulation flow control tests can be carried out simultaneously, and the test device can ensure that multiple groups of rock samples react with the reaction liquid under the same test conditions. However, the shortcomings of this device are: the artificially configured CO2 fluid, acetic acid fluid, and H2S solution react with the rock in the simulation experiment, without considering that the underground fluid crosses different strata and the fluid properties change during the migration process; the fluid entering the reactor and reacting with the rock has only a single mode of constant flow pump driving, and the type of fluid driving force is not distinguished, and the diagenetic effects such as dissolution, cementation or replacement of the fluid and the reservoir under geological boundary conditions cannot be objectively simulated.
[0008] Carbonate rocks are widely distributed underground, and the reaction between carbonate rocks and acidic fluids quickly reaches chemical equilibrium.
[0009] Yang Yunkun et al. (Re-understanding of deep dissolution of carbonate rocks based on in-situ observations of simulation experiments [J], Journal of Peking University (Natural Science Edition), 2014, 50(2): 316-322) used the diamond anvil cell (DAC) technology to design a set of water-rock interaction simulation experiments for carbonate rocks with increasing burial depth. Although obvious cementation (precipitation) can be observed in situ, it is not possible to quantitatively analyze the amount of dissolution of carbonate rock water-rock reaction, let alone analyze the specific role of formation water properties in the dolomite water-rock reaction process.
[0010] Fan Ming et al. (The transformation of carbonate reservoirs by acidic fluids [J], Geochemistry, 2009, 38(1): 20-26) independently designed a carbonate dissolution rate measuring instrument. However, this experimental device and experimental method are dedicated to evaluating the dissolution rate of carbonate rocks, which requires that the results of carbonate rock water-rock reactions are far from chemical equilibrium. Due to the small amount of rock samples, the fluid generated by the reaction still has the ability to react with the rock.
[0011] Looking at the current research status at home and abroad, according to the water-rock reaction mode, carbonate rock dissolution simulation experimental devices can be divided into rock surface dissolution and rock internal dissolution: rock surface dissolution experimental devices mainly include acid-rock reaction rotating rock disk instrument, high-temperature and high-pressure tubular flow reaction device, diamond pressure chamber and molten capillary silica tube; rock internal dissolution experimental devices include high-temperature and high-pressure core seepage simulation device.
[0012] Obviously, the samples of rock surface dissolution experiments are mostly rock particles or blocks. The water-rock reaction mainly occurs on the surface of the rock, with the characteristics of "water wrapped in rock". The water-rock ratio and hydrodynamic conditions are quite different from the burial environment, and the focus is mainly on the chemical reaction in the carbonate rock water-rock reaction experiment. However, just as some geologists have questioned the burial dissolution and porosity increase of carbonate reservoirs, they believe that the chemical mechanism of dissolution and porosity increase of carbonate rocks and acidic fluids is beyond doubt. The question is what is the mechanism for acidic fluids to retain acidity during long-distance migration, how large is the scale of burial dissolution and porosity increase, and what are the main controlling factors and distribution laws of burial dissolution? Therefore, the burial dissolution of carbonate rocks cannot be simplified as a chemical reaction. It is necessary to focus on the core geological problem of the formation mechanism and distribution law of ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs, and carry out carbonate rock dissolution simulation experiments under the constraints of geological models from the perspective of geological systems.
[0013] Judging from the current technological status, although the existing equipment cannot meet the needs of China's ultra-deep and strongly modified carbonate rock dissolution simulation experiments, after long-term research and accumulation, the above-mentioned experimental equipment has laid a solid foundation for the research and development of ultra-deep carbonate rock dissolution simulation experimental equipment.
[0014] At present, previous carbonate dissolution simulation experiments have mostly focused on burial depths shallower than 6,000 meters, and the experimental fluids are mainly organic acid solutions. There has been no systematic carbonate dissolution simulation experiment in ultra-deep layers (burial depth > 6,000m) and under strong transformation geological backgrounds. The mineral dissolution-precipitation mechanism and its reservoir effect in ultra-deep burial environments are still unclear. For example, can carbonate rocks undergo large-scale dissolution in ultra-deep environments? Can deep-source hot fluids (hydrothermal fluids) improve reservoir performance? How to quantitatively simulate the evolution law and main controlling factors of the dynamic process of carbonate dissolution-increasing porosity-cementation-reducing porosity? Can corrosive fluids retain acidity during long-distance migration across tectonic periods?
[0015] These mechanistic issues are the focus and difficulty of the research on the formation mechanism and distribution law of ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs, which puts forward higher requirements for the simulation experimental device of carbonate rock dissolution under the coupling of ultra-deep temperature-stress-fluid. It is necessary to meet the requirements of higher working temperature, pressure and corrosion resistance, and to achieve the necessary functions such as water-rock ratio and hydrodynamic mode close to geological reality, quantitative evaluation of dissolution porosity increase effect, characterization of the dynamic evolution process of rock internal pore structure under dissolution-precipitation, cross-tectonic period migration of fluid, and in-situ analysis of high-temperature and high-pressure fluid properties.
[0016] In summary, it is difficult to conduct simulation experiments on the dissolution of ultra-deep and strongly modified carbonate rocks at a depth of 10,000 meters using existing technologies. Summary of the invention

[0086] Solution 1
[0087] The present invention provides an ultra-deep carbonate rock dissolution simulation experimental device, such as Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, the experimental device includes: a solution pressure container system 40, a detection system 50, at least two reactors 1 arranged in series and at least two back pressure control devices 30, the reactor 1 includes a confining pressure mechanism 10 and an axial pressure mechanism 20, the confining pressure mechanism 10 has a core cavity 101 for accommodating the core 2 and can apply confining pressure to the core 2, the axial pressure mechanism 20 is used to apply axial pressure to the core 2 in the core cavity 101, and the axial pressure mechanism 20 is provided with a reaction solution interface 22 connected to the core cavity 101; the solution pressure container system 40 can provide a reaction solution and inject it into the core cavity 101 through the reaction solution interface 22; the outlet end of the core cavity 101 of each reactor 1 is connected to the back pressure control device 30; the core cavities 101 of the reactor 1 are connected in series, the reaction solution provided by the solution pressure container system 40 can flow through the core cavities 101 connected in series in sequence, and the detection system 50 is used to detect each core cavity 101 respectively.
[0088] In the ultra-deep carbonate rock dissolution simulation experimental device, multiple reactors 1 are arranged in series, and the reaction solution provided by the solution pressure container system 40 flows through the core 2 in each reactor 1 in turn; the back pressure control device 30 independently controls the fluid pressure in each reactor 1, and the confining pressure mechanism 10 and the axial pressure mechanism 20 in each reactor 1 respectively apply confining pressure and axial pressure to the core 2 therein, so as to load the simulated static rock pressure and fluid pressure on the core 2 at the same time, and the fluid can be driven to cross two or more reactors 1 with temperature and pressure conditions, so as to realize the cross-tectonic period dissolution simulation of carbonate rocks under the constraints of geological models, and perform multi-stage-continuous flow simulation, which is conducive to meeting the needs of ultra-deep-strongly modified carbonate rock dissolution simulation experiments.
[0089] In the ultra-deep carbonate rock dissolution simulation experimental device provided by the present invention, the core can be clamped under ultra-high temperature and high pressure triaxial stress through the reactor 1, and the solution pressure vessel system 40 can provide highly saturated CO2 and realize multi-stage-continuous flow reaction, thereby realizing highly saturated CO2 dissolution simulation. The detection system 50 can perform real-time online detection of ultra-high temperature and high pressure permeability, and realize in-situ detection of high temperature and high pressure fluid components and contents, providing an experimental device for the high temperature and high pressure carbonate rock dissolution simulation experiment under the coupling of ultra-deep temperature-stress-fluid, so as to realize ultra-deep oil and gas exploration as deep ground exploration, and advance support for the basic theoretical research of ultra-deep oil and gas exploration of 10,000 meters.
[0090] In one embodiment, the detection system 50 includes at least two in-situ window detection mechanisms 6, which include a high-temperature and high-pressure fluid in-situ detection cell 60 and a spectrometer 67. The high-temperature and high-pressure fluid in-situ detection cell 60 is connected in series between the outlet end of the core cavity 101 and the back pressure control device 30. The reaction solution flowing out of the core cavity 101 flows through the high-temperature and high-pressure fluid in-situ detection cell 60, and the spectrometer 67 performs in-situ detection on it, which can provide real-time continuous measurement of water-rock reaction products under different temperature and pressure conditions. For carbonate rock dissolution reaction, Raman spectroscopy can be used to "in-situ" semi-quantitatively measure the amount of dissolution under equilibrium conditions, and then comprehensively study the dissolution / precipitation trend of carbonate rock with increasing burial depth.
[0091] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the high temperature and high pressure fluid in-situ detection pool 60 includes a solution cavity 61, a fixing mechanism 66 and a window portion 62. The solution cavity 61 is fixed between the outlet end of the core cavity 101 and the back pressure control device 30 through the fixing mechanism 66; the solution cavity 61 is provided with a solution inlet 611 and a solution outlet 612, the solution inlet 611 is connected to the outlet end of the core cavity 101, and the solution outlet 612 is connected to the back pressure control device 30; the window portion 62 is provided in the solution cavity 61, and the spectrometer 67 is provided outside the window portion 62, and the light in the solution cavity 61 can be transmitted to the spectrometer 67 through the window portion 62. The reaction solution flows into the solution cavity 61 through the solution inlet 611, and can flow to the next reactor 1 through the solution outlet 612; through the window portion 62, the spectrometer 67 detects the reaction solution in the solution cavity 61. Preferably, the solution cavity 61 is made of hafnium alloy material, with a hollow structure, used to accommodate the reaction generated solution, and a thermocouple is connected externally to control the temperature in the cavity. like Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, the two ends are connected to the pipelines of the solution inlet 611 and the solution outlet 612 by metal cone threads, and the other two ends are connected to the window part 62, which are the signal source transmitting end and the signal source receiving end respectively.
[0092] Furthermore, the window portion 62 includes a metal cylinder 63, an insulating ceramic sleeve 621 and a sapphire glass 64. The insulating ceramic sleeve 621 and the sapphire glass 64 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the metal cylinder 63, and the sapphire glass 64 has a large diameter portion 641 and a small diameter portion 642. The small diameter portion 642 is at least partially inserted into the metal cylinder 63. The window portion 62 takes into account both the pressure resistance and the good transmittance of the spectral signal, thereby improving the structural stability of the window portion 62. The light in the solution cavity 61 is transmitted to the spectrometer 67 through the sapphire glass 64, ensuring detection under high temperature and high pressure conditions. The sapphire glass 64 can be a nut-type sapphire glass 64. Specifically, the metal cylinder 63 includes a metal nut 631 and a first metal washer 632. The first metal washer 632 is arranged at one end of the metal nut 631; as shown in FIG. Fig.10 As shown, the window portion 62 further includes a second metal gasket 651 , a graphite gasket 652 and a metal O-ring 653 , and the second metal gasket 651 is disposed between the graphite gasket 652 and the first metal gasket 632 .
[0093] like Fig. 9 As shown, the fixing mechanism 66 includes a fixing frame 661, a metal jacket 662, and a heat insulating sleeve 663. The solution chamber 61 is fixed under high pressure by the fixing frame 661. The outside of the fixing frame 661 is wrapped with a heat insulating sleeve 663, which is made of fire-resistant heat-insulating material for heat insulation and heat preservation, and a metal jacket 662 is installed on the outside.
[0094] Both ends of the high temperature and high pressure fluid in-situ detection pool 60 are connected to the spectrometer through optical fiber probes. The high temperature and high pressure fluid in-situ detection pool 60 can withstand high temperature and high pressure. The generated liquid of the reactor 1 will flow through the high temperature and high pressure fluid in-situ detection pool 60. The composition and content of the generated liquid in the high temperature and high pressure fluid in-situ detection pool 60 can be analyzed by the spectrometer under high temperature and high pressure in-situ conditions. The spectrometer 67 can be a laser Raman spectrometer 67.
[0095] In one embodiment, the detection system 50 includes a pressure detection mechanism 51 corresponding to each of the reaction kettles 1; Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the pressure detection mechanism 51 includes an inlet pressure sensor 511, an outlet pressure sensor 512 and a differential pressure sensor 513. The inlet pressure sensor 511 is arranged at the inlet end of the core chamber 101, and the outlet pressure sensor 512 is arranged at the outlet end of the core chamber 101; the differential pressure sensor 513 is arranged between the inlet end and the outlet end of the core chamber 101 to detect the fluid pressure difference between the inlet end and the outlet end. For each reactor 1, the fluid pressure at the inlet end and the outlet end of the core chamber 101 is detected in real time through the inlet pressure sensor 511 and the outlet pressure sensor 512; and the differential pressure sensor 513 is used to realize the real-time detection of the fluid pressure difference between the inlet end and the outlet end, and the fluid pressure and the difference at the inlet end and the outlet end of the core 2 are obtained in real time.
[0096] Furthermore, the detection system 50 includes an electronic balance 52; the ends of all the reactors 1 connected in series are connected to a sampler 23, and the sampler 23 is arranged on the electronic balance 52. The electronic balance 52 can record the fluid flow of the sampler 23 and collect the unit time flow of the reaction generated solution in real time.
[0097] The differential pressure sensor 513 directly measures the fluid pressure difference between the inlet and outlet ends of the core 2, while the inlet pressure sensor 511 and the outlet pressure sensor 512 respectively test the fluid pressure at the inlet and outlet ends of the core 2; the fluid pressure difference is then obtained by calculation; the electronic balance records the fluid flow of the sampler 23, and collects the unit time flow of the solution generated by the reaction in real time; according to the Darcy formula, the liquid permeability value of the core 2 is calculated in real time, and finally the real-time online continuous measurement of the liquid permeability value of the rock plunger sample during the water-rock reaction process is realized, and the real-time evolution characteristic curve of the permeability of the core 2 is generated through the control software.
