Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of hydrogeological technology, and in particular relates to a real-time calculation method for multiphase flow fluid saturation based on microfluidics technology. Background Art

[0002] Multiphase flow problems in porous and fractured media are common in natural processes such as carbonate dissolution-precipitation processes, reservoir anti-seepage and safety control, carbon dioxide geological storage, groundwater pollution and remediation, and microbial mineralization technology, as well as in energy, environment, and water conservancy projects. In the study of multiphase flow in oil and gas production, the efficiency of oil and gas production can be clarified by quantifying the changes in oil or gas saturation; in the field of carbon dioxide geological storage, the microscopic storage mechanism can be analyzed by quantifying the changes in the saturation of gaseous and supercritical carbon dioxide; in the remediation of soil and groundwater pollution caused by non-aqueous liquids, quantifying the changes in the saturation of non-aqueous liquids can reveal the remediation mechanism and thus improve the remediation efficiency. Therefore, the real-time calculation of fluid saturation in multiphase flow processes is of great significance for studying the microscopic mechanism of multiphase flow and improving the engineering efficiency of multiphase flow-related systems.

[0003] In order to calculate the fluid saturation in multiphase flow, many scholars have used computed tomography (CT technology), low-field nuclear magnetic resonance testing (NMR technology) and sand box light transmission experiments to intuitively measure or invert the saturation. However, the CT scanning imaging time is relatively long, and some displacement or repair reactions occur in an instant, making it difficult to capture the changes in saturation in real time; although the NMR technology has a faster imaging time, when the multiphase fluid contains protons, there is a certain degree of difficulty in accurately distinguishing different fluids; and the cost of CT and NMR instruments is relatively high. Although the sand box light transmission experiment is low-cost and has fast imaging, its internal structure cannot be directly observed, and there is still a certain error in inverting the fluid saturation through light intensity. Therefore, the current calculation of fluid saturation in multiphase flow processes has the problem of low accuracy. Summary of the invention
