Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of geochemical water-rock reactions, and in particular, to a CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction simulation device and an experimental method. Background Art

[0002] CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage) technology is one of the key technologies to address global climate change. CO2 geological storage is an important part of CCUS technology. Studying the CO2-water-rock reaction characteristics is an effective means for enhanced unconventional oil and gas recovery by CO2. The relevant results help to clarify the mechanisms of caprock leakage and fracture leakage during CO2 geological storage, and provide guidance for the safety evaluation of CO2 storage in oil and gas reservoirs.

[0003] When carrying out CO2 geological storage work, due to the fluctuations of hydrodynamic conditions, temperature and pressure conditions, CO2 will have a certain fluidity inside the reservoir. Under in-situ conditions, the CO2-water-rock mainly exhibits a dynamic reaction process. Existing engineering cases have confirmed that mixing CO2 with water for injection can greatly improve the CO2 storage efficiency. For example, in the world's largest CO2 mineralization project - the CarbFix project in Iceland, water and CO2 are fully mixed and then injected into the target layer through two drilling wells. This scheme can increase the CO2 storage efficiency to more than 95% (Reference: DOI: 10.1126 / science.1250828). However, the experimental devices used in current technical solutions are mainly the first-generation static reactors (such as CN215375410U). This device can only control the CO2 injection process and cannot ensure the continuous flow of the injected CO2 under the pressure gradient. The simulated CO2-water-rock reaction environment does not match the actual injection conditions. In addition, the existing simulation devices can only meet the experiments on rock particles and cannot apply confining pressure to the samples, which will cause the simulation environment to be inconsistent with the reservoir conditions, resulting in the experimental conclusions being deviated from the actual situation. On the other hand, the existing simulation methods are limited to qualitatively carrying out water-rock reactions and lack real-time monitoring of important geological parameters such as the CO2 geological storage volume and rock permeability during the reaction cycle. Therefore, in combination with the current CO2 geological storage engineering frontier technology, it is necessary to improve the existing experimental system through innovative means to form a CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction simulation device and an experimental method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction simulation device and an experimental method to solve the above technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above object, in one aspect, the present invention provides a CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction simulation device, comprising:

[0006] A gas-liquid internal circulation system, including a circulation pump, a core holder, and a confining pressure pump; the core holder is connected to the confining pressure pump, and is used to fix the sample and apply confining pressure to the sample.

[0007] A CO2 input and monitoring system, including a CO2 gas cylinder, a heated gas storage tank, and a gas flow meter. One gas flow meter is provided before and after the gas-liquid internal circulation system respectively, and is used to measure the CO2 injection amount before the reaction and the CO2 discharge amount after the reaction. The heated gas storage tank is connected to the CO2 gas cylinder and the core holder.

[0009] A pressure control system, including a booster pump arranged between the CO2 gas cylinder and the heated gas storage tank, an air compressor connected to the booster pump, and a plurality of pressure sensors located on the circulation pipeline.

[0010] The above technical solution of the present invention aims to propose a CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction simulation device, which can simulate the high-temperature and high-pressure environment of the reservoir under in-situ conditions in the laboratory, realize the geochemical response of CO2-water-rock while monitoring the evolution characteristics of the sample permeability, and provide guidance for improving the existing CO2 enhanced oil and gas recovery and CO2 geological sequestration technologies.

[0011] Optionally, the core holder is further connected to an N2 gas cylinder, and the N2 gas cylinder is used to perform N2 purging on the core holder.

[0012] Optionally, the CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction simulation device further includes a pH monitoring system, and the pH monitoring system includes a pH controller built in the constant temperature box, and the pH controller is used to regularly monitor the acidity and alkalinity of the solution during the reaction process.

[0013] Optionally, the pressure sensors include a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor arranged on the inlet pipeline and the outlet pipeline of the core holder; a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor are respectively arranged on the inlet pipeline and the outlet pipeline of the core holder.

[0014] Optionally, the outlet pipeline of the core holder is connected to a back pressure pump, a back pressure valve is arranged between the back pressure pump and the core holder, and the back pressure valve pipeline is connected to a gas-liquid separation system.

[0015] Optionally, the gas-liquid separation system includes a gas-liquid separator, a container connected to the liquid outlet end of the gas-liquid separator, and a gas flow meter connected to the gas outlet end of the gas-liquid separator. The container is placed on an electronic balance, and a desiccant and an exhaust valve are provided on the exhaust pipeline at the front end of the gas flow meter.

[0016] Optionally, a backpressure buffer is provided between the backpressure pump and the backpressure valve.

[0017] In another aspect of the present invention, a CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction experiment method for measuring the geological sequestration amount of CO2 is provided. Using the CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction simulation device described in any one of the above, the method includes the following steps:

[0018] S101. Prepare a columnar sample with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a length of 5 cm from the massive rock, and perform water saturation treatment on the sample;

[0019] S102. After weighing the water-saturated sample, place it in a core holder, apply confining pressure, and turn on the constant temperature box to make it constant at the set value;

[0020] S103. Use N2 to displace and discharge the residual air in the gas-liquid internal circulation system, inject deionized water to discharge the internal N2, record the water injection volume, and then inject CO2 to discharge part of the water in the gas-liquid internal circulation system. After the residual water reaches the set value, close the water outlet valve, and record the CO2 injection volume and the residual water volume;

[0021] S104. Turn on the air compressor and the booster pump to increase the pressure of the gas-liquid internal circulation system. After the pressure reaches the set value, close the booster and intake valves;

[0022] S105. Open the system valve, set the flow rate of the circulation pump to 0-30 mL / min to perform the internal circulation CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction experiment, and record the data of the system pressure changing with time;

[0023] S106. Regularly measure the pH value of the circulation system during the experiment, and monitor the water chemical environment of the internal solution in real time;

[0024] S107. After the experiment, discharge the CO2 in the circulation system through the flow meter, and analyze it with the CO2 injection volume. Then the expression of the total CO2 sequestration amount is:

[0025]

[0026] In the formula: N is the total CO2 sequestration amount, n1 is the CO2 injection volume, and n2 is the CO2 discharge volume;

[0027] The expression of the CO2 dissolution amount is:

[0028]

[0029] wherein, n d is the dissolved amount of CO2, k CO2 is the dissolved amount of CO2 per unit amount of substance, m w is the water content, M w is the molar mass of water;

[0030] Since most oil and gas reservoirs are low-porosity and low-permeability rocks, the content of free and adsorbed physical sequestration states is relatively small after CO2 injection. Therefore, it can be considered that the dissolved state and mineralized state are the main CO2 sequestration forms during the experiment. Combining the previous calculation conclusions on the total CO2 sequestration amount and dissolved amount, the CO2 mineralization amount n m The expression is:

[0031] .

[0032] In another aspect of the present invention, a CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction experiment method for measuring permeability is provided. Using the CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction simulation device described in any one of the above, it includes the following steps:

[0034] S202. Drain the water in the core holder, introduce the gas to be measured and drain the residual gas;

[0035] S203. Increase the pressure in the core holder to the measured value, and record the pressures and gas flow rates at the inlet and outlet;

[0036] S204. Calculate the permeability of the sample according to the sample size, inlet and outlet pressures, and gas flow rate. The calculation formula is:

[0037]

[0038] In the formula, K is the permeability, P0 is the atmospheric pressure, Q is the gas flow rate during the seepage process, μ is the gas viscosity, L is the length of the columnar sample, A is the bottom area of the cylindrical sample, and P1 is the inlet pressure.

[0060] Embodiment 2

[0061] Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction experiment method for measuring the geological sequestration amount of CO2. This method uses the CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction simulation device of Embodiment 1 and includes the following steps:

[0062] S101. Prepare a columnar sample with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a length of 5 cm from the massive rock, and perform water saturation treatment on the sample;

[0063] In some embodiments, the massive rock is directly prepared into a columnar sample with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a length of 5 cm. Then, after weighing the above-mentioned water-saturated columnar sample, the CO2-water-rock reaction experiment can be directly carried out;

[0064] In other embodiments, the massive rock is prepared into granular particles with a particle size of 50-500 μm, and then water saturation is carried out. The water-saturated granular sample is placed in a CO2-resistant rubber sleeve with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a length of 5 cm, and both ends are blocked and formed to obtain a columnar sample, which can be used for the subsequent CO2-water-rock reaction experiment.

[0065] S102. After weighing the water-saturated sample, place it in the core holder 14, apply confining pressure, and turn on the constant temperature box 20 to make it constant at the set value;

[0066] In a specific embodiment, before putting the sample, first check whether there is system pressure in the pipeline, confirm the pressure situation of the system by turning on the power supply. If there is pressure in the pipeline, first relieve the pressure;

[0067] After confirming the system pressure, open the inlet and outlet ends of the core holder 14, load the sample and the dummy core, and tighten the inlet and outlet plugs.

[0068] Check whether the digital display instrument shows normally, turn on the computer, and start the operating software.

[0069] Close all valves, adjust the pressure regulating valve 9 to the closed state, and install and open the corresponding valves in sequence during operation.

[0070] In a specific embodiment, step S102 includes: opening valve nine 109, adjusting the pressure of the core holder 14 by starting the confining pressure pump 11. The confining pressure pump 11 can be controlled automatically or manually. If the initial experimental pressure is low, directly boost the pressure to the experimental pressure; if the initial experimental pressure is high, first pressurize to 5 Mpa, and at the same time boost the pressure of the internal circulation, and keep the confining pressure always 2 MPa higher than the internal pressure.

[0071] In a specific embodiment, the adjustment of the initial pressure value includes: opening the gas cylinder, and at the same time opening valve one 101 and valve three 103, pressing the boost start button on the control panel to increase the pressure in the heated gas storage tank 8 to 20 MPa, closing valve three 103, opening valve five 105, and adjusting the output pressure to the test initial pressure through the pressure regulating valve 9.

[0072] S103. Use N2 to displace and discharge the residual air in the gas-liquid internal circulation system, inject deionized water to discharge the internal N2, record the water injection volume, and then inject CO2 to discharge part of the water in the gas-liquid internal circulation system. After the residual water reaches the set value, close the water outlet valve, and record the CO2 injection volume and the residual water volume.

[0073] In a specific embodiment, open the N2 gas inlet valve 100 and valve ten 110, keep valve eleven 111 and valve twelve 112 closed, introduce nitrogen, open valve fifteen 115, and use nitrogen to purge the pipeline. Among them, the N2 gas cylinder 1 is filled with high-purity nitrogen.

[0074] Then, close the N2 gas inlet valve 100, open valve eight 108 and valve eleven 111, start the pressure pump 12 to inject experimental water into the pipeline, displace the nitrogen in the pipeline and the sample, open the outlet of valve fifteen 115 and use a beaker to collect the liquid, and stop injecting water after the nitrogen is fully discharged, and record the water injection volume.

[0075] S104. Open the air compressor 6 and the booster pump 4 to boost the pressure of the gas-liquid internal circulation system. After the pressure reaches the set value, close the boost and inlet valves.

[0076] Specifically, close valve eight 108 and valve fifteen 115, open valve six 106, valve seven 107, valve eleven 111, and valve twelve 112. Inject CO2 into the core holder 14 according to the preset experimental pressure. After reaching the expected pressure, close valve twelve 112;

[0077] S105. Open the system valves, turn on the circulation pump 19, set a constant flow rate within the range of 0 - 30 mL / min, conduct an in - cycle CO2 - water - rock dynamic reaction experiment, and record the data of the system pressure changing with time;

[0078] S106. During the experiment, regularly measure the pH value of the circulation system through the water intake valve (valve seventeen 117). Meanwhile, use the pH controller 205 to monitor the internal solution hydrochemical environment in real - time;

[0079] S107. After the experiment, discharge the CO2 in the circulation system through the flowmeter, and analyze it together with the CO2 injection amount. Then the expression for the total CO2 sequestration amount is:

[0080]

[0081] In the formula: N is the total CO2 sequestration amount, n1 is the CO2 injection amount, and n2 is the CO2 discharge amount;

[0082] The expression for the CO2 dissolution amount is:

[0083]

[0084] where, n d is the CO2 dissolution amount, k CO2 is the CO2 dissolution amount per unit amount of substance, m w is the water content, M w is the molar mass of water;

[0085] Since most oil - gas reservoirs are low - porosity and low - permeability rocks, after CO2 injection, the content of free and adsorbed physical sequestration states is relatively small. Therefore, it can be considered that the dissolved state and mineralized state are the main CO2 sequestration forms during the experiment; combining the previous calculation conclusions on the total CO2 sequestration amount and dissolution amount, the expression for the CO2 mineralization amount n m is:

[0086]

[0087] where, n m is the CO2 mineralization amount, w0 is the weight of the dry sample before the experiment, and w1 is the weight of the dry sample after the experiment.

[0088] In a specific embodiment, at the end of the experiment, the backpressure pump 23 is used to increase the backpressure to the experimental pressure. Valve sixteen 116 is opened, and the gas-liquid mixture in the pump and pipeline is released into the gas-liquid separator 24 through the backpressure valve 21. Valve fourteen 114 is opened, and the gas volume is measured by gas flowmeter two 27 and the liquid volume is measured by electronic balance 25 respectively. The gas can be collected using a gas collection bag at the outlet of gas flowmeter two 27. After the experiment, according to the internal pressure, the confining pressure is slowly reduced. After the pressure is released, the inlet and outlet ends are disassembled and the sample is taken out.

[0089] Example 3

[0090] Example 3 of the present invention provides another CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction experiment method for determining permeability. This method uses the CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction simulation device of Example 1 and includes the following steps:

[0091] S201. Place the sample in the core holder 14 and turn on the constant temperature oven 20 to make it constant at the set value.

[0092] S202. Drain the moisture in the core holder 14, introduce the gas to be measured and discharge the residual gas.

[0093] S203. Increase the pressure in the core holder 14 to the measurement value, and record the pressures and gas flows at the inlet and outlet.

[0094] S204. Calculate the permeability of the sample based on the sample size, inlet and outlet pressures, and gas flow. The calculation formula is:

[0095]

[0096] In the formula, K is the permeability, P0 is the atmospheric pressure, Q is the gas flow during the seepage process, μ is the gas viscosity, L is the length of the columnar sample, A is the bottom area of the cylindrical sample, and P1 is the inlet pressure.

[0097] Specifically, in a specific embodiment, the CO2-water-rock dynamic reaction simulation device of Example 1 is adopted, and the following operating steps are included:

[0098] Turn on the power supply and observe whether there is residual pressure in the pipeline. If there is pressure, release the pressure through the vent valve. Unscrew the plug at the outlet end of the core holder 14, load the sample, and tighten the plug. Close all valves and turn on the constant temperature oven 20.

[0099] First, open valve nine 109 and use the confining pressure pump 11 to inject the confining pressure liquid. If the experimental pressure is low, it can be directly increased to the experimental pressure. If the experimental pressure is high, it is first increased to 5 MPa.
