Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas exploration, and in particular relates to a carbonate cluster isotope testing device and a testing method. Background Art

[0002] Marine carbonate reservoirs account for about 20% of the world's total sedimentary rock area, and the oil and gas production of marine carbonate oil and gas fields accounts for about 66% of the world's oil and gas production, which is a key area of ​​oil and gas exploration and development. Marine carbonate reservoir prediction is one of the main scientific issues facing marine strata oil and gas exploration, and it is also one of the "bottleneck" technologies that restrict marine carbonate strata oil and gas exploration. Among them, paleotemperature reconstruction is a key issue and difficulty in the study of diagenetic environment in marine carbonate reservoir prediction. At present, the main methods for restoring paleotemperature for carbonate reservoirs are carbonate mineral oxygen isotope (δ 18 O) temperature measurement, fluid inclusion temperature measurement, Mg / Ca ratio temperature measurement of foraminifera, etc. Among them, oxygen isotope is one of the most commonly used "geological thermometers"; but δ 18 The application of oxygen to deep-time paleotemperature research faces huge challenges, mainly in three aspects: (1) the lack of reliable paleontological fossils as carriers of isotope preservation; (2) the controversy over the reliable oxygen isotope composition of seawater of the same period; and (3) strong diagenetic transformation.

[0003] In recent years, carbonate cluster isotopes (Δ 47 The rapid development of the ) thermometer has the biggest advantage over the traditional carbonate rock oxygen isotope thermometer: it is a single-phase mineral thermometer, independent of the fluid when the carbonate is formed, and does not require information on the oxygen isotope composition of the fluid. As a new type of accurate thermometer, its emergence will provide more possibilities for the reconstruction of paleotemperature of marine carbonate rocks.

[0004] Cluster isotopes are isotopes formed when two or more atoms in an isotopologue are replaced by their corresponding heavy isotopes. 47 ) refers to the carbonate ion (CO3 2- )middle 13 C, 17 O and 18 O heavy isotope multiple substitution 12 C and 16 O, consisting of four isotopes 13 C 16 O2 18 O. 12 C 16 O 17 O 18 O. 12 C 16 O 17 O2 and13 C 17 O3 composition, limited by the current testing technology conditions, carbonate ions (CO3 2- ) cluster isotopes cannot be measured directly, and carbon dioxide gas needs to be produced by acid hydrolysis, and then the carbon dioxide gas cluster isotopes are measured. Based on the fact that the carbon dioxide gas produced during the acid hydrolysis of carbonate is proportional to the isotopologue content of carbonate minerals, the abundance of the isotopologue with a mass number of 47 in the acid hydrolysis product carbon dioxide gas and the value corrected by the acid fractionation coefficient can represent the carbonate cluster isotope (Δ 63 ).

[0005] The carbonate cluster isotope thermometer was formally proposed by John Eiler's research group at California Institute of Technology in 2006 (Ghosh et al., 2006). It is mainly based on the difference in abundance between the carbon dioxide gas isotopologue with a mass number of 47 and its "random distribution" state (Δ 47 ) and temperature. 13 C- 18 The abundance of cluster isotopologues with O bonds (about 45 ppm) accounts for nearly 97% of all cluster isotopologues with a mass number of 47. 13 C- 18 The isotopologue abundance of the O-bonded carbon dioxide gas cluster represents the abundance of all carbon dioxide gases with a mass number of 47. Since the content of the carbonate cluster isotope thermometer test object is about 45ppm, which is 2 to 3 orders of magnitude lower than the content of the conventional carbonate rock carbon and oxygen isotope test object, strict requirements are imposed on each link in the test process. At present, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the carbonate cluster isotope pretreatment device in terms of vacuum system (the fore pump is an oil pump), balance gas preparation method and acid hydrolysis reaction, which is mainly reflected in the following three aspects: (1) The oil vapor generated by the oil pump in the vacuum system of the existing carbonate pretreatment device will affect the test accuracy; (2) The systematic error in the balance gas preparation step needs to be reduced; (3) At present, there is only one of the closed or open acid hydrolysis reaction methods in the carbonate pretreatment device. However, these two acid hydrolysis methods are very important for carbonate cluster testing. The cluster data based on the two acid hydrolysis reactions can verify each other and provide a means for the correction of phosphoric acid fractionation coefficient. Therefore, it is of great significance to design a carbonate cluster isotope pretreatment device with high standards and establish a corresponding carbonate cluster isotope test method.

Specifically, the entire dual-path system is evacuated, first with the fore pump, and then switched to the molecular pump for 3 minutes. The sample carbon dioxide gas is transferred to the left bellow of the mass spectrometer dual-path system, and the right bellow is introduced with a reference gas of substantially the same amount as the left bellow, and the gas pressure on both sides is adjusted to balance.

[0102] Carbonate Mineral Testing

[0103] (1) Sample acid hydrolysis reaction

[0104] The acid hydrolysis reaction of calcite standard sample ETH-4 includes two methods: closed acid hydrolysis reaction and common acid bath acid hydrolysis reaction.

[0105] 1) Closed acid hydrolysis reaction: Weigh 8 mg of calcite standard sample ETH-4 and place it in a sample holding tube. Use a pipette to transfer 3 ml of 104% phosphoric acid to the bottom of the gas sample collection bottle. Tilt the sample holding tube into the gas sample collection bottle. Be careful not to let the 104% phosphoric acid contact the calcite standard sample ETH-4 in the holding tube. Connect the gas sample collection bottle filled with calcite standard sample ETH-4 and 104% phosphoric acid to the closed reaction unit of the carbonate pretreatment system; Figure 1 As shown: If the reaction interface 2* terminal is connected, open the second control valve 2, the seventh control valve 7, and the ninth control valve 9, close the fourth control valve 4, the fifth control valve 5, and the sixth control valve 6, and use the foreline pump to evacuate the vacuum until the vacuum is better than 3×10 -2 mbar, close the seventh control valve 7 and the ninth control valve 9, open the first control valve 1, and continue to evacuate with the molecular pump until the vacuum reaches 4×10 - 4mbar, close the second control valve 2, close the gas sample collection bottle to keep it in a high vacuum state, then remove the gas sample collection bottle, and keep it vertical to prevent the phosphoric acid at the bottom of the collection bottle from contacting the calcite standard ETH-4. Place the vacuumed gas sample collection bottle in a water bath at 90°C. Note that the bottle mouth should be 4 cm away from the water surface and the bottle mouth should not contact the water. After the gas sample collection bottle and the water bath set temperature are balanced, tilt the gas sample collection bottle to allow the carbonate sample to react with phosphoric acid for 30 minutes. After the reaction is complete, reconnect the gas sample collection bottle to the closed reaction end process and repeat the above vacuuming sequence to 4×10 -4 mbar, open the second control valve 2, cover the first cold trap 101 with liquid nitrogen, open the gas sample collection bottle, and transfer all the carbon dioxide gas to the first cold trap 101.

[0106] The closed reaction end unit has 5 quick interfaces. The gas sample collection bottle can be connected to one of the interfaces, and the other interfaces are kept closed by control valves.

[0107] 2) Common acid bath acidolysis reaction: Weigh 8 mg of calcite standard sample ETH-4 and place it in a sample holding tube, and place the holding tube in the sample tray of the common acid bath test device. Use a pipette to transfer 10 ml of 104% phosphoric acid to the bottom of the acid holding bottle, and connect the acid holding bottle to the common acid bath test device and keep it sealed. Figure 1 As shown: the common acid bath test device and the first cold trap 101 are connected with a stainless steel pipeline, the first control valve 1, the second control valve 2, the third control valve 3, the fourth control valve 4, the fifth control valve 5, the sixth control valve 6, the seventh control valve 7 and the tenth control valve 10 are closed, and the common acid bath test device is evacuated with a fore-stage pump. When the vacuum is better than 4×10 -1 mbar (when the reaction temperature is 90°C), close the ninth control valve 9, open the first control valve 1 and the seventh control valve 7, and use a molecular pump to evacuate. When the vacuum is better than 8×10 -2 mbar, close the seventh control valve 7, open the tenth control valve 10, put liquid nitrogen on the first cold trap 101, rotate the control rod to let the calcite standard ETH-4 fall into the acid holding bottle and react with phosphoric acid at 90°C, react for 30 minutes, and all the generated carbon dioxide gas is transferred to the first cold trap 101.

[0108] (2) Carbon dioxide gas purification and transfer

[0115] ② Close the twelfth control valve 12 on the left side of the second cold trap 102, put liquid nitrogen on the second cold trap 2, open the eleventh control valve 11, and transfer the carbon dioxide gas from the first cold trap 101 to the second cold trap 102; after the transfer is completely closed, the eleventh control valve 11 remains in the first cold trap 101, and the first water vapor removal is completed. Open the twelfth control valve 12 to extract the impurities for 3 minutes, complete the first impurity removal, and close the twelfth control valve 12.

[0116] 2) The carbon dioxide gas is passed through the Porapak trap to remove pollutants such as organic matter and sulfur, which specifically includes: closing the fourteenth control valve 14 and the fifteenth control valve 15 on both sides of the third cold trap 103, putting liquid nitrogen on the third cold trap 103, stabilizing for 2 minutes, removing the liquid nitrogen at the second cold trap 102, opening the twelfth control valve 12, and slowly transferring the carbon dioxide gas to the third cold trap 103 via the Porapak trap 26, the transfer time is 30 minutes, and then placing the -90°C alcohol liquid nitrogen mixture at the cold trap 104, opening the fourteenth control valve 14, and continuing the transfer for 15 minutes to complete the removal of pollutants such as organic matter and sulfur.

[0117] The packing of the Porapak trap 26 is 100 mesh PorapakTMQ porous ethylstyrene, divinylbenzene polymer and a small amount of silver wire, and the length is about 15 cm.

[0118] 3) Record the amount of carbon dioxide gas Q2, remove water and impurities for the second time and transfer to the gas sample collection bottle, specifically including:

[0119] ① After all the carbon dioxide gas has been transferred to the third cold trap 103, close the twelfth control valve 12, the fourteenth control valve 14 and the fifteenth control valve 15, remove the -90°C alcohol-liquid nitrogen mixture at the fourth cold trap 104, replace the liquid nitrogen at the third cold trap 103 with a -90°C alcohol-liquid nitrogen mixture, record the amount of carbon dioxide gas Q2 in the third cold trap 103, and put liquid nitrogen on the gas sample collection bottle.

[0120] ② Open the seventeenth control valve 17, and the carbon dioxide gas is transferred from the third cold trap 103 to the gas sample collection bottle. After the carbon dioxide gas is completely transferred, open the nineteenth control valve 19, and further remove the impurities for 2 minutes. Then close the seventeenth control valve 17 and the nineteenth control valve 19, close the gas sample collection bottle, and the carbon dioxide gas collection is completed. Remove the liquid nitrogen and the gas sample collection bottle 25.

[0121] (3) Cluster isotope testing:

[0122] 1) The gas sample collection bottle filled with carbon dioxide gas is connected to the dual-path system process of the gas stable isotope mass spectrometer. The carbon dioxide gas is introduced into the left bellow, and the reference gas is introduced into the right bellow. Specifically, the entire dual-path system is evacuated, first with the foreline pump, and then switched to the molecular pump for 3 minutes. The sample carbon dioxide gas is transferred to the left bellow of the dual-path system of the mass spectrometer, and the right bellow is introduced with a reference gas of substantially the same amount as the left bellow, and the gas pressure on both sides is adjusted to balance.

[0123] 2) Edit the analysis test program to conduct cluster isotope (Δ47) testing, specifically including: edit the sequence test program, select 8 acquisitions test units, each acquisition consists of 14 cycles, start the program for analysis testing, and record high voltage and magnetic field data at the same time. The test time is about 3 hours.

[0124] 3) Cluster isotope (Δ47) data correction processing specifically includes:

[0125] The raw test data was imported into the eastope special software for cluster isotope (Δ47) data processing, the Δ47-raw value of carbon dioxide gas was calculated, and then linear correction and acid fractionation coefficient correction (fractionation coefficient was 0.092‰) were performed to obtain the Δ47 value of the cluster isotope of the calcite standard sample ETH-4.

[0126] The improved device was used to test the 1000℃ heated gas cluster isotope Δ47=0.022±0.016‰ (n=8, ±1S.D. accepted value Δ47=0.025±0.018‰), and the improved device was used to test the calcite standard ETH-4 cluster isotope Δ47=0.574±0.018‰ (n=8, ±1S.D. accepted value Δ47=0.565±0.014‰).

[0127] Multiple tests

[0128] The conditions remain unchanged, and the isotope of the gas cluster heated at 1000℃ is tested, Δ47=0.022±0.016‰ (n=8, ±1S.D. accepted value Δ47=0.025±0.018‰).

[0129] The conditions remained unchanged, and the ETH-4 cluster isotope of the calcite standard sample was tested, and Δ47=0.574±0.018‰ (n=8, ±1S.D. accepted value Δ47=0.565±0.014‰).

[0130] Comparative Example 1

[0131] The device before improvement (oil pump system, without balancing gas unit and rapid cooling device, the same below) tested the isotope of 1000℃ heated gas cluster, Δ47=0.042±0.036‰ (n=8, ±1S.D. accepted value Δ47=0.025±0.018‰).

[0132] Comparative Example 2

[0133] The device before improvement (oil pump system, without balance gas unit and rapid cooling device) tested the calcite standard ETH-4 cluster isotope Δ47=0.592±0.03‰ (n=8, ±1S.D. accepted value Δ47=0.565±0.014‰).

[0134] It can be seen that the accuracy of cluster isotopes measured by the improved carbonate pretreatment device and method is significantly improved, from ±0.036‰~±0.03‰ (n=8, ±1S.D.) before the improvement to ±0.018‰~±0.016‰ (n=8, ±1S.D.), and because the closed reaction end unit has 5 interfaces, the test efficiency is significantly improved.

For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description.
