Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development simulation, and in particular to a non-Newtonian two-phase fluid displacement simulation method and system based on nuclear magnetic resonance logging. Background Art
[0002] In the process of oil and gas reservoir development, non-Newtonian two-phase fluid displacement technology can effectively improve the sweep efficiency during the displacement process due to its unique rheological properties such as shear thinning and viscoelasticity, especially in heterogeneous reservoirs. Non-Newtonian fluids can improve oil recovery by reducing fingering, optimizing fluid distribution and blocking high permeability channels, while adapting to the complex conditions of low permeability reservoirs. This technology is widely used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies such as polymer flooding, foam flooding and gel flooding, and is an important means to improve the efficiency of oil and gas reservoir development. Therefore, studying the flow law and displacement mechanism of non-Newtonian two-phase fluid displacement and establishing an accurate simulation model are of great significance for optimizing oil recovery schemes.
[0003] Traditional non-Newtonian two-phase flow models and simulations are developed based on black oil models and face multiple defects. First, traditional non-Newtonian two-phase flow models usually rely on ideal and simplified assumptions, such as homogeneous reservoirs and stable flow conditions. When applied to highly heterogeneous reservoirs, large-scale grids cannot effectively handle the changes in the viscoelasticity of non-Newtonian fluids in small-scale pore throat spaces, which limits the model's ability to express in detail and makes the model no longer applicable under complex geological conditions and dynamic production environments. Secondly, the rheological properties of non-Newtonian fluids are complex and changeable, and shear thinning has a great influence on the flow behavior of fluids. Traditional models use reservoir macroscopic porosity and permeability to characterize changes in rheological properties, which is different from the actual microscopic effective pore space in which non-Newtonian fluids flow, resulting in simulation results that are inconsistent with actual conditions. Summary of the invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the traditional non-Newtonian two-phase flow model cannot effectively deal with the changes in the viscoelasticity of non-Newtonian fluids in small-scale pore throat spaces, and it is difficult to simulate the influence of shear thinning on the flow behavior of non-Newtonian fluids, resulting in the simulation results being inconsistent with the actual situation. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a non-Newtonian two-phase fluid displacement simulation method and system based on nuclear magnetic resonance logging. Based on the traditional non-Newtonian two-phase flow simulation technology, the simulation method is improved. Under the critical radius model and equivalent assumptions, an Ellis non-Newtonian fluid-oil two-phase numerical model suitable for a single well scale of an oil reservoir that can dynamically adapt to changes in reservoir pressure is established. Based on nuclear magnetic resonance logging technology and critical path seepage theory, the microscopic characteristics of fluid seepage in rocks are effectively considered to construct a more refined Ellis non-Newtonian fluid-oil two-phase numerical model. At the same time, the Ellis non-Newtonian fluid-oil two-phase numerical model constructed by this scheme can dynamically adapt to changes in reservoir pressure, accurately simulate the influence of shear thinning on the flow behavior of non-Newtonian fluids, and ensure the scale and accuracy of the model.
