Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water drive gas reservoirs, and more specifically, to a method for testing fluid saturation by core displacement and its testing device. Background Art

[0002] Most of the gas reservoirs developed currently are water drive gas reservoirs to varying degrees. Among them, for the gas reservoirs with active edge and bottom water, the reserves of gas reservoirs with water account for more than 80% of the total reserves. In the field of oil and gas exploration and production, accurately measuring fluid saturation is the key to evaluating reservoir characteristics and optimizing production strategies. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) testing is a widely used measurement method that can simultaneously reflect pore and fluid information without damaging the sample. However, NMR testing equipment has certain temperature and pressure limitations. Therefore, in the prior art, most of the testing methods are the combination of core displacement and NMR testing under normal temperature and pressure. Although this testing method can be used to measure fluid saturation, since the actual original reservoir of the gas reservoir is not at normal temperature and pressure, and the NMR T2 spectra of fluids at different temperatures and pressures have certain differences, this will make the fluid saturation data measured under normal temperature and pressure have certain errors, resulting in certain errors between the reservoir characteristics evaluated based on this and the actual reservoir characteristics. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiency that the fluid saturation measurement in the prior art under normal temperature and pressure has certain errors, and provide a method for testing fluid saturation by core displacement and its testing device, which can improve the accuracy of fluid saturation measurement.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: Provide a method for testing fluid saturation by core displacement, including the following steps: S1. Obtain the original formation pressure and original formation temperature of the gas reservoir; S2. Obtain a core, and test the physical properties data of the core through core analysis method; then perform NMR testing on the core; S3. Saturate the core with formation water, and then perform NMR testing on the core saturated with formation water; S4. Perform gas drive water seepage testing on the saturated core according to the original formation pressure and original formation temperature of the gas reservoir, the core is depleted, and the amount of water produced is obtained; S5. Perform NMR testing on the depleted core; S6. Obtain the irreducible water saturation of the depleted core according to the NMR testing results of steps S2, S3, and S5; S7. Obtain the total irreducible water saturation of the core according to the core physical properties data in step S2, the amount of water produced in step S4, and the irreducible water saturation of the depleted core in step S6.

[0005] The present invention includes a method for testing fluid saturation of cores. By obtaining the data of the original formation pressure and the original formation temperature of the gas reservoir, it is possible to conduct a gas drive water seepage test under simulated formation conditions, and perform nuclear magnetic tests on the cores before saturation, after saturation, and after the gas drive water seepage test to obtain the irreducible water saturation. It can overcome the limitation of nuclear magnetic testing under high temperature and high pressure, improve the accuracy and reliability of the determination of irreducible water saturation, thereby enabling the accurate determination of formation pore and fluid information, and further providing important reservoir characteristic data for oil and gas field development.

[0006] Further, step S4 includes the following steps: S41. Place the core in an environment with a temperature approximately equal to or the same as the original formation temperature of the gas reservoir; S42. Establish an initial confining pressure at the core; S43. Inject formation water into the core at a constant rate for displacement until the output pressure at the core reaches the original formation pressure of the gas reservoir, and then apply a constant pressure to the core to complete the pressure build-up; S44. Introduce nitrogen gas into the core; S45. Conduct a nitrogen gas drive water experiment test on the core at the displacement pressure difference determined according to the relative permeability test standard until the irreducible water state is reached; S46. After reaching the irreducible water state, reduce the pressure at the core and cool the environment where the core is located to room temperature. At this time, the core is depleted, and the displaced water volume V is obtained.

[0007] Further, step S41 includes: clamping the core with a core holder and placing the core holder in an oven; heating the oven to a temperature approximately equal to or the same as the original formation temperature of the gas reservoir; Step S42 includes: using a confining pressure pump to pump into the core holder to establish an initial confining pressure; Step S43 includes: placing formation water in a second container, and then using a displacement pump to inject the formation water in the second container into the core holder at a constant rate for displacement until the pressure at the output end of the core holder reaches the original formation pressure of the gas reservoir; then, using a back pressure component to apply a constant pressure to the core holder to complete the pressure build-up; Step S44 includes: placing nitrogen gas in a first container, and then using the displacement pump to introduce the nitrogen gas in the first container into the core holder; Step S46 includes: after reaching the irreducible water state, reducing the pressure at the output end of the core holder to zero through the back pressure component; at the same time, closing the oven to cool the temperature inside the oven to room temperature; at this time, the core is depleted, and the displaced water is collected at the output end of the core holder through the back pressure component to obtain the displaced water volume V.

[0008] Further, during the displacement process in step S43, keep the output pressure of the confining pressure pump always greater than the pressure at the input end of the core holder, and the pressure difference between the two is the same as the value of the initial confining pressure.

[0009] Further, in step S44, the displacement pump is pressurized until the pressure at the input end of the core holder reaches the original formation pressure of the gas reservoir.

In step S46, the pressure reduction is achieved by setting the back pressure pump to the constant speed mode, and the displaced water is collected through the receiving container at the outlet end of the back pressure valve to obtain the displaced water volume V.

[0011] Further, in step S1, it also includes obtaining the density of the original formation water. Step S3 specifically includes the following steps: S31. Prepare the formation water according to the mineral composition of the formation water and the density of the original formation water. S32. Saturate the core with the formation water obtained in step S31. S33. Wipe the surface of the saturated core dry and then conduct a nuclear magnetic test.

[0012] Further, in step S2, after the nuclear magnetic test on the core, the T2 spectrum is obtained and the dry core signal area S0 is obtained; in step S3, after the nuclear magnetic test on the saturated core, the T2 spectrum is obtained and the saturated core signal area S1 is obtained; in step S5, after the nuclear magnetic test on the depleted core, the T2 spectrum is obtained and the signal area S2 of the depleted core is obtained. In step S6, the irreducible water saturation S w1 of the depleted core is calculated as follows: S w1 = (S2 - S0) / (S1 - S0); In the formula, S0 represents the dry core signal area, S1 represents the saturated core signal area, and S2 represents the signal area of the depleted core.

[0013] Further, in step S7, the total irreducible water saturation S w2 of the core is calculated as follows: S w2 = S w1 +V / (D 2 / 4×π×L×Ф); In the formula, S w1 represents the irreducible water saturation of the core after depletion obtained in step S6, V represents the amount of displaced water obtained in step S4; D, L, Ф represent the physical property data of the core, where they represent the diameter, length, and porosity in the dry core state, respectively.

[0014] The present invention also provides a testing device, which is applied to the above-mentioned method for testing the fluid saturation of core displacement. The device includes an oven, a first container, a second container, and a core holder disposed in the oven, and both the first container and the second container are connected to the core holder; it further includes an confining pressure pump and a displacement pump, the confining pressure pump is connected to the core holder, and the displacement pump is connected to both the first container and the second container; it further includes a back pressure assembly, the back pressure assembly is connected to the core holder; it further includes a receiving container and an electronic balance, the receiving container is placed on the electronic balance, and the back pressure assembly is also connected to the receiving container.

[0020] Embodiment 1 As Figure 1 shown in the first embodiment of a method for testing fluid saturation in core displacement of the present invention, it includes the following steps: S1. Obtain the original formation pressure and original formation temperature of the gas reservoir; S2. Obtain a core, and test the physical properties data of the core through core analysis method; then perform nuclear magnetic resonance test on the core; S3.

[0021] By obtaining the original formation pressure and original formation temperature data of the gas reservoir, the present invention can conduct gas drive water seepage tests under simulated formation conditions, and perform NMR tests on the core before saturation, after saturation, and after gas drive water seepage tests to obtain the irreducible water saturation, which can overcome the limitations of NMR tests under high temperature and high pressure, improve the accuracy of irreducible water saturation determination, and thus achieve the accuracy of determining formation pore and fluid information.

[0022] Example Two This example is the second example of a method for testing fluid saturation in core displacement. This example is similar to Example One, and the differences are as follows: In step S1, obtain the original formation pressure p0 of the gas reservoir, the original formation temperature T0 of the gas reservoir, and the density ρ of the original formation water.

[0023] In step S2, obtain a core from a typical production well in the gas reservoir and clean it with petroleum ether, then dry it. Next, test the core physical property data through core analysis methods, where the core physical property data includes porosity, length, and diameter. Then, send the core into a nuclear magnetic resonance analyzer for NMR testing to obtain a T2 spectrum, and obtain the dry core signal area S0.

[0024] In this example, step S3 specifically includes the following steps: S31. Determine the ion composition, concentration, and salinity of the reservoir formation water according to the produced formation water quality analysis report (see Table 1), and prepare the formation water according to the density ρ of the original formation water; S32. Saturate the core with the formation water in step S31; S33. Wipe the surface of the saturated core dry, then conduct NMR testing to obtain a T2 spectrum, and obtain the saturated core signal area S1.

[0025]

[0026] Table 1 The density in Table 1 is the density of the original formation water corresponding to the current core ρ.

[0027] And, step S4 includes the following steps: S41. Place the core in an environment approximately equal to or equal to the original formation temperature T0 of the gas reservoir; Specifically, a core holder 130 is used to hold the core, and the core holder 130 is placed in an oven 100; the oven 100 is heated to a temperature approximately equal to or the same as the original formation temperature T0 of the gas reservoir.

[0028] S42. Establish an initial confining pressure on the core; Specifically, a confining pressure pump 200 is used to pump fluid into the core holder 130 to establish an initial confining pressure.

[0029] S43. Inject formation water at a constant rate for displacement until the output pressure at the core reaches the original formation pressure p0 of the gas reservoir, and then apply a constant pressure to the core to complete pressure build-up; Specifically, formation water is placed in a second container 120, and then a displacement pump 300 is used to inject the formation water in the second container 120 into the core holder 130 at a constant rate for displacement until the pressure at the output end of the core holder 130 reaches the original formation pressure p0 of the gas reservoir; during the displacement process, the output pressure of the confining pressure pump 200 is kept greater than the pressure at the input end of the core holder 130, and the pressure difference between the two is the same as the value of the initial confining pressure; then, a backpressure assembly is used to apply a constant pressure to the core holder 130 to complete pressure build-up.

[0030] S44. Inject nitrogen gas into the core; Specifically, nitrogen gas is placed in a first container 110, and then a displacement pump 300 is used to inject the nitrogen gas in the first container 110 into the core holder 130, and the displacement pump 300 is pressurized until the pressure at the input end of the core holder 130 reaches the original formation pressure p0 of the gas reservoir.

[0031] S45. Conduct a nitrogen gas water displacement experiment test on the core under the displacement pressure difference determined according to the relative permeability test standard until the irreducible water state is reached.

[0032] S46. After reaching the irreducible water state, reduce the pressure on the core and cool the environment where the core is located to room temperature. At this time, the core is depleted, and the water production volume V is obtained; Specifically, after reaching the irreducible water state, the pressure at the output end of the core holder 130 is reduced to zero through the backpressure assembly; at the same time, the oven 100 is turned off to cool the temperature inside the oven 100 to room temperature; at this time, the core is depleted, and the displaced water is collected at the output end of the core holder 130 through the backpressure assembly to obtain the water production volume V.

[0033] In this embodiment, the backpressure assembly includes a backpressure valve 410 and a backpressure pump 420. The backpressure end of the backpressure valve 410 is communicated with the backpressure pump 420, the inlet end of the backpressure valve 410 is communicated with the core holder 130, and the outlet end of the backpressure valve 410 is communicated with a receiving container 500. Specifically, the constant pressure operation in step S43 includes: setting the backpressure pump 420 to a constant pressure mode and pumping until the pressure at the backpressure end of the backpressure valve 410 is equal to the pressure at the inlet end of the backpressure valve 410, and then conducting the backpressure pump 420 with the core holder 130 to complete pressure building. Specifically, in step S46, the pressure reduction is achieved by setting the backpressure pump 420 to a constant speed mode, and the displaced water is collected by the receiving container 500 at the outlet end of the backpressure valve 410 to obtain the displaced water volume V.

[0034] In step S5, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) testing is performed on the depleted core to obtain the T2 spectrum, and the signal area S2 of the depleted core is obtained. In step S6, the irreducible water saturation S of the depleted core w1 is calculated by the formula: S w1 = (S2 - S0) / (S1 - S0); In the formula, S0 represents the signal area of the dry core, S1 represents the signal area of the saturated core, and S2 represents the signal area of the depleted core.

[0035] In step S7, the total irreducible water saturation S of the core w2 is calculated by the formula: S w2 = S w1 + V / (D 2 / 4 × π × L × Ф); In the formula, S w1 represents the irreducible water saturation of the depleted core obtained in step S6, V represents the displaced water volume obtained in step S4; D, L, and Ф represent the physical property data of the core, where they represent the diameter, length, and porosity in the dry core state, respectively.

[0036] When implementing the present invention, it can be measured that the diameter of a core in the dry core state is 2.483 cm, the length is 5.04 cm, and the porosity is 15.89%, and the following Figure 2 shown curve graph can be obtained: Among them, the dry core curve is the curve obtained by NMR testing in step S2, and the signal area S0 of the dry core can be obtained as 1448.6986; the saturated formation water curve before displacement is the curve obtained by NMR testing in step S3, and the signal area S1 of the saturated core can be obtained as 16004.1552; the curve after gas displacing water is the curve obtained by NMR testing in step S5, and the signal area S2 of the depleted core can be obtained as 4455.0769.

[0037] The data obtained above are shown in Table 2 below.

[0038]

[0039] Table 2 As can be seen from Table 2, through the present invention, the irreducible water saturation closer to the actual formation conditions and its approximate distribution can be obtained, so as to realize a more accurate determination of the formation pore and fluid information. It should be noted that since the T2 spectrum can reflect the amount of hydrogen-containing substances in different spaces, when the hydrogen-containing substance is water, the water distribution can be obtained.

[0040] Example 3 As Figure 3 shown in the figure is an embodiment of a test device of the present invention, including an oven 100, a first container 110, a second container 120, and a core holder 130 disposed in the oven 100.

The backpressure valve 410 is connected to the core holder 130; the receiving container 500 is a beaker, and the backpressure valve 410 is further connected to the beaker.

A fourth pressure gauge 740 and a fourth valve 840 are provided on the connecting pipe between the back pressure pump 420 and the back pressure valve 410.

[0043] When using the core displacement test fluid saturation method of the testing device of the present invention, step S4 specifically includes the following steps: S41. Transfer nitrogen into the first container 110, and transfer the formation water prepared in step S3 into the second container 120; set the temperature of the oven 100 to the same temperature as the original formation temperature T0 of the gas reservoir; use the core holder 130 to hold the core and heat it through the oven 100. In this embodiment, the nitrogen selected is nitrogen with a purity of 99%, and T0 is determined according to the original reservoir data, such as it can be determined to be 144°C.

[0044] S42. Set the confining pressure pump 200 to the inlet pump mode, then open the first valve 810, and the confining pressure pump 200 pumps in to establish the initial confining pressure. In this embodiment, the initial confining pressure is 3-5 MPa. Preferably, the initial confining pressure is selected as 3 MPa.

[0045] S43. Open the fifth valve 850, the seventh valve 870, the ninth valve 890, and the second valve 820. Start the displacement pump 300 and inject formation water at a constant speed into the core holder 130 for displacement. During the displacement process, ensure that the reading of the first pressure gauge 710 is always higher than that of the second pressure gauge 720, and the difference between the first pressure gauge 710 and the second pressure gauge 720 is the same as the value of the initial confining pressure until the reading of the third pressure gauge 730 reaches the original formation pressure p0 of the gas reservoir. Subsequently, close the fifth valve 850, the seventh valve 870, the ninth valve 890, and the second valve 820. Set the backpressure pump 420 to the constant pressure mode and start the pump until the reading of the fourth pressure gauge 740 is equal to the reading of the third pressure gauge 730. Then open the third valve 830 and the fourth valve 840 to complete the pressure build-up.

According to the existing production data of the gas reservoir, conduct a nitrogen flooding experiment test on the core under the displacement pressure difference determined according to the relative permeability test standard until the irreducible water state is reached.

[0048] S46. After reaching the irreducible water state, stop the displacement pump 300. Set the backpressure pump 420 to the constant speed mode and withdraw the pump. The confining pressure pump 200 follows the backpressure pump 420 to withdraw the pump, maintaining the difference between the first pressure gauge 710 and the second pressure gauge 720 at 1 - 2 MPa until it drops to zero. At the same time, turn off the oven 100 to cool the temperature in the oven 100 to room temperature, and the readings of the third pressure gauge 730 and the fourth pressure gauge 740 drop to zero. At this time, the core is depleted. Record the displaced water collected in the receiving container 500, i.e., the beaker, and then calculate the volume V of the displaced water through the mass obtained by the electronic balance 600 and the density ρ of the original formation water.
