Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of petroleum engineering, and in particular to a shale spontaneous imbibition detection device and a use method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Shale is a porous medium, and its pore structure often contains rich oil and gas resources. When extracting oil and gas from shale, fracturing fluid must be infiltrated into the pore structure of the shale, either naturally or artificially, to displace the oil and gas stored there. Understanding the pore structure of shale can better understand the storage state and migration patterns of oil and gas in shale reservoirs, providing a theoretical basis for shale oil and gas extraction. Spontaneous imbibition experiments are an important method for studying the pore structure and porous media characteristics of shale reservoirs. They help understand the microstructure and fluid dynamics of porous media. Based on the experimental results, shale oil and gas extraction plans can be optimized, thereby increasing the recovery rate of shale oil and gas.
[0003] Existing shale spontaneous imbibition experiments typically use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and computed tomography (CT) scanning to determine the amount of spontaneous imbibition and the pore structure of the shale. However, these techniques can only determine the total imbibition amount and static pore structure of the shale under macroscopic conditions.

[0058] Example 1
[0059] This embodiment provides a shale spontaneous imbibition detection device, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the dynamic imbibition process and imbibition path of shale at the microscopic scale can be obtained, and the imbibition amount of pore structures of different sizes can be obtained, so that the influence of pore structures of different sizes on the overall imbibition behavior can be quantitatively analyzed.
[0060] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the shale spontaneous imbibition detection device includes a main shell 1, a clamping assembly 2, a receiving box 3, an imaging module 4 and a weight detection module 5. The clamping assembly 2 is arranged in the main shell 1, and the clamping assembly 2 is configured to clamp and fix the shale sample 100. The receiving box 3 is provided with a receiving chamber 31, and the receiving chamber 31 is configured to store an isotope imbibition liquid. The lower end of the shale sample 100 extends into the receiving chamber 31 and contacts the liquid surface of the isotope imbibition liquid. The isotope imbibition liquid includes a plurality of radioactive isotopes with different half-lives. Since the lower end of the shale sample 100 contacts the isotope imbibition liquid, the shale sample 100 generates a spontaneous imbibition phenomenon, that is, under the action of the capillary force of the pore structure of the shale sample 100, the isotope imbibition liquid will enter the pores of the shale sample 100. The imaging module 4 is disposed within the main housing 1 and includes a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) device 41, a radionuclide imaging device 42, and a radiographic scanning imaging device 43, which are arranged vertically and spaced apart. The NMR device 41, radionuclide imaging device 42, and radiographic scanning imaging device 43 are all circumferentially arranged around the outside of the shale sample 100 and are each vertically movable, enabling the radionuclide imaging device 42 or the radiographic scanning imaging device 43 to scan the shale sample 100 from top to bottom, thereby obtaining complete and continuous radionuclide imaging or radiographic scanning images of the shale sample 100. A weight detection module 5 is disposed on the clamping assembly 2 and is used to detect the weight of the shale sample 100.
[0061] When the shale spontaneous imbibition detection device is used to detect the spontaneous imbibition process of shale, a shale sample 100 is first prepared and clamped on the clamping assembly 2, and the nuclear magnetic resonance device 41, the radionuclide imaging device 42 and the ray scanning imaging device 43 are controlled to move vertically, so as to obtain the initial nuclear magnetic resonance signal intensity, the initial radionuclide imaging image and the initial ray scanning imaging image of the shale sample 100 in the initial state, and at the same time detect the initial mass of the shale sample 100; then the prepared isotope imbibition liquid is stored in the accommodating chamber 31 of the accommodating box 3, and the vertical height of the shale sample 100 is adjusted so that its lower end extends into the accommodating chamber 31 and contacts with the isotope imbibition liquid, thereby triggering the spontaneous imbibition phenomenon of the shale sample 100; whenever the shale sample After the spontaneous imbibition of the shale sample 100 has proceeded for a first preset time, the nuclear magnetic resonance device 41, the radionuclide imaging device 42, and the radiographic scanning imaging device 43 are controlled to move vertically, thereby obtaining the nuclear magnetic resonance signal intensity, radionuclide imaging image, and radiographic scanning imaging image of the shale sample 100 at the current moment, and simultaneously detecting the weight of the shale sample 100 at the current moment; determining whether the difference between the weights of the shale sample 100 detected in two adjacent times is less than or equal to 0.01 g; if not, repeating the above operation to obtain the nuclear magnetic resonance signal intensity, radionuclide imaging image, radiographic scanning imaging image, and mass of the shale sample 100 at multiple moments; if so, stopping the detection, collecting and processing all detection data and images, and analyzing the spontaneous imbibition process of the shale sample 100.
[0062] The shale sample 100 is brought into contact with an isotope imbibition fluid to cause spontaneous imbibition, thereby allowing the isotope imbibition fluid containing radioactive isotopes with multiple different half-lives to enter the pore structure of the shale sample 100. At the same time, the radionuclide imaging device 42 is used to scan the shale sample 100 at multiple imbibition moments, thereby obtaining radionuclide imaging images at each moment of the spontaneous imbibition process, and thus obtaining the dynamic imbibition process and imbibition path of the shale sample 100 at the microscopic scale; the shale sample 100 at multiple imbibition moments is scanned using a ray scanning imaging device 43 to obtain ray scanning imaging images, and thus obtain detailed information on the pore structure of the shale sample 100. At the same time, combined with the magnetic resonance signal intensity and radionuclide imaging image of the shale sample 100 at the same time, the imbibition amount of pore structures of different sizes can be calculated, thereby quantitatively analyzing the influence of the imbibition amount of pore structures of different sizes on the overall imbibition behavior.
[0063] Exemplarily, the radionuclide imaging device 42 includes a PET device and the like, and the weight detection module 5 includes a weight sensor and the like.
[0064] Alternatively, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the imaging module 4 further includes a mounting base 44, a first gear 45, and a first rack 46. The mounting base 44 is mounted on the inner wall of the main housing 1, and the first gear 45 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 44. The first rack 46 is mounted on the side walls of the MRI device 41, the radionuclide imaging device 42, and the X-ray scanning imaging device 43, and extends vertically. The first gear 45 meshes with the first rack 46. When it is necessary to detect the spontaneous imbibition process of the shale sample 100, the first gear 45 is driven to rotate. Since the first gear 45 is engaged with the first rack 46, the rack will drive the nuclear magnetic resonance device 41, the radionuclide imaging device 42 and the ray scanning imaging device 43 to move vertically, so that the radionuclide imaging device 42 or the ray scanning imaging device 43 scans the shale sample 100 from top to bottom, and obtains a complete and continuous radionuclide imaging image or ray scanning imaging image of the shale sample 100. The structure is simple and easy to operate. The vertical height of the radionuclide imaging device 42 and the ray scanning imaging device 43 can be flexibly adjusted, which is convenient for detecting the radionuclide imaging image and ray scanning imaging image of the shale sample 100 at any time during the spontaneous imbibition process, which is conducive to obtaining the dynamic imbibition process and imbibition path of the shale sample 100.
[0065] It should be noted that the nuclear magnetic resonance device 41 does not need to scan the shale sample 100 from top to bottom. As long as the shale sample 100 is within the magnetic field range of the nuclear magnetic resonance device 41, it can be detected.
[0066] Alternatively, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the clamping assembly 2 includes a connecting rod 21, a clamping housing 22, and a telescopic tensioning member. One end of the connecting rod 21 is connected to the clamping housing 22, and the other end is mounted on the top wall of the main housing 1. The connecting rod 21 extends vertically, allowing at least a portion of the shale sample 100 to extend into the clamping housing 22. The telescopic tensioning member is telescopically mounted on the sidewall of the clamping housing 22, pressing against the sidewall of the shale sample 100 to secure the shale sample 100 in the clamping housing 22. When fixing the shale sample 100, the shale sample 100 is extended into the clamping shell 22. At this time, the shale sample 100 will push the telescopic tightening member, so that the telescopic tightening member generates a reverse thrust on the shale sample 100, thereby tightening the side wall of the shale sample 100, so that the clamping shell 22 clamps and fixes the shale sample 100. The structure is simple and easy to operate. When the shale sample 100 needs to undergo spontaneous imbibition, the vertical height of the shale sample 100 can also be adjusted to partially enter or partially move out of the clamping shell 22, so that the lower end of the shale sample 100 is in contact with the isotope imbibition liquid.
[0067] Exemplarily, the telescopic pressing member includes a spring push rod and the like.
[0068] Alternatively, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the shale spontaneous imbibition detection device also includes a temperature control unit 6 and a humidity control unit 7 arranged in the main shell 1. Among them, the temperature control unit 6 includes a temperature detection part 61, a temperature adjustment part 62 and a temperature control module. The temperature detection part 61 is used to detect the temperature inside the main shell 1, and the temperature detection part 61 and the temperature adjustment part 62 are both communicatively connected to the temperature control module. The temperature adjustment part 62 is used to adjust the internal temperature of the main shell 1 to a preset temperature. After the temperature detection part 61 detects the internal temperature of the main shell 1, it will transmit a signal to the temperature control module. The temperature control module receives the signal transmitted by the temperature detection part 61 to obtain the temperature information detected by it. When the temperature is higher or lower than the preset temperature, the temperature control module will send an instruction to make the temperature adjustment part 62 perform cooling or heating work until the temperature detection part 61 detects that the internal temperature of the main shell 1 is equal to the preset temperature.
[0069] The humidity control unit 7 includes a humidity sensor 71, a humidity adjustment member 72, and a humidity control module. The humidity sensor 71 is used to detect the humidity inside the main housing 1. Both the humidity sensor 71 and the humidity adjustment member 72 are in communication with the humidity control module. The humidity adjustment member 72 is used to adjust the internal humidity of the main housing 1 to a preset humidity. After the humidity sensor 71 detects the internal humidity of the main housing 1, it transmits a signal to the humidity control module. The humidity control module receives the signal transmitted by the humidity sensor 71 and obtains the detected humidity information. When the humidity is higher or lower than the preset humidity, the humidity control module sends a command to the humidity adjustment member 72 to perform drying or humidification until the humidity sensor 71 detects that the internal humidity of the main housing 1 is equal to the preset humidity.
[0070] Illustratively, the temperature detecting member 61 includes a temperature monitoring sensor, and the humidity detecting member 71 includes a humidity monitoring sensor.
[0071] Alternatively, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the radiographic scanning imaging device 43 includes a first housing 431, a frame 432, a second rack 433, a second gear, a radiation emitting element 435, a radiation detecting element 436, and a signal processing device. The first housing 431 is circumferentially disposed around the outside of the shale sample 100, and the second gear is rotatably mounted on the first housing 431. The frame 432 is disposed around the side of the first housing 431 facing the shale sample 100, and the second rack 433 is disposed around the frame 432. The second gear and the second rack 433 are meshed. The radiation emitting element 435 and the radiation detecting element 436 are circumferentially spaced apart on the side of the frame 432 facing the shale sample 100. The radiation detecting element 436 is used to detect radiation emitted by the radiation emitting element 435. The radiation emitting element 435 is in communication with the signal processing device to convert the radiation into an image. When performing X-ray scanning imaging on the shale sample 100, the second gear is driven to rotate. Since the second gear is engaged with the second rack 433, the second rack 433 will drive the frame 432 to rotate vertically, and at the same time control the X-ray emitting element 435 to emit rays. The rays will penetrate the shale sample 100 and be received by the X-ray detection element 436 and converted into electrical signals. The electrical signals will then be transmitted to the signal processing equipment, and after being processed by the signal processing equipment, a X-ray scanning imaging image will be generated.
[0072] Exemplarily, the radiation scanning imaging device 43 includes a CT device or the like.
[0073] Alternatively, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the NMR device 41 includes a main magnet 411, an NMR analyzer 412, and an NMR induction coil 413. The NMR analyzer 412 is circumferentially arranged outside the shale sample 100. The main magnet 411 is located on the side of the NMR analyzer 412 facing the shale sample 100 and is used to generate a magnetic field. The NMR induction coil 413 is located on the side of the main magnet 411 facing the shale sample 100 and is communicatively connected to the NMR analyzer 412 so that the NMR analyzer 412 receives and processes resonance signals. The main magnet 411 generates a static magnetic field. Under the action of the static magnetic field, the shale sample 100 is magnetized. At the same time, the nuclear magnetic resonance analyzer 412 emits radio frequency pulses and acts on the shale sample 100, causing the shale sample 100 to absorb energy and release a resonance signal. The nuclear magnetic resonance induction coil 413 then receives the resonance signal released by the shale sample 100 and transmits the resonance signal to the nuclear magnetic resonance analyzer 412, thereby obtaining the nuclear magnetic resonance signal intensity.
[0074] Exemplarily, the nuclear magnetic resonance device 41 includes an NMR device.

Place the holding box 3 below the shale sample 100 and adjust the vertical height of the shale sample 100 so that the lower end of the shale sample 100 extends into the holding chamber 31 and contacts the liquid surface of the isotope imbibition liquid, so that the shale sample 100 undergoes spontaneous imbibition.
[0081] S5. Whenever the spontaneous imbibition of the shale sample 100 lasts for a first preset time, the nuclear magnetic resonance device 41, the radionuclide imaging device 42, and the radiographic scanning imaging device 43 are controlled to move vertically to detect the nuclear magnetic resonance signal intensity, the radionuclide imaging image, and the radiographic scanning imaging image of the shale sample 100 at the current moment, and to detect the weight of the shale sample 100 at the current moment;

[0086] When necessary, relevant parameters are substituted into the following formulas (1)-(3) to quantitatively analyze the effect of the imbibition amount of pore structures of different sizes on the overall imbibition behavior.
[0087]
[0088]
[0089] S (r,t) =f (r,t) ×S t (3)
[0090] Among them, f (r,t) is the contribution coefficient of the pore channel with radius r at time t; C r(t) is the concentration of radioactive isotopes in the pore channel with a radius of r at time t; n is the total number of pore channels with a radius of r; C total (t) represents the total concentration of radioactive isotopes in the shale sample 100 at time t; t is the nuclear magnetic resonance intensity at time t; I0 is the nuclear magnetic resonance intensity in the initial state; I sat is the NMR intensity after the imbibition is completed.

Drying the shale sample 100 ensures that no residual liquid or volatiles remain in its pores, thereby ensuring the integrity and accuracy of its spontaneous imbibition process.
[0098] Alternatively, as Figure 5 As shown, step S5 specifically includes the following steps:
[0099] S51: Setting a first preset interval time, and when the spontaneous imbibition time of the shale sample 100 is equal to the first preset interval time, controlling the nuclear magnetic resonance device 41, the radionuclide imaging device 42, and the radiographic scanning imaging device 43 to move vertically to detect the nuclear magnetic resonance signal intensity, the radionuclide imaging image, and the radiographic scanning imaging image of the shale sample 100 at the current moment, and detecting the weight of the shale sample 100 at the current moment;
[0100] S52. Calculate the imbibition rate of the shale sample 100 based on the nuclear magnetic resonance signal intensity, the radionuclide imaging image, the X-ray scanning imaging image, and the weight of the shale sample 100, and draw a graph of the imbibition rate of the shale sample 100.

[0102] S54. Set a second preset interval time. When the spontaneous imbibition time of the shale sample 100 is equal to the second preset interval time, control the nuclear magnetic resonance device 41, the radionuclide imaging device 42 and the X-ray scanning imaging device 43 to move vertically to detect the nuclear magnetic resonance signal intensity, radionuclide imaging image and X-ray scanning imaging image of the shale sample 100 at the current moment, and detect the weight of the shale sample 100 at the current moment.
[0103] It should be noted that when the line of the imbibition rate curve of the shale sample 100 is a straight line segment, the spontaneous imbibition of the shale sample 100 is in the early imbibition stage; when the line is a curve segment, the spontaneous imbibition of the shale sample 100 is in the late imbibition stage, and the first preset interval time is less than the second preset interval time.
