[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention and be able to implement it, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] The following will describe in detail the technical solutions provided by each embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] The object of the present invention is to propose a quantitative model and method capable of predicting the change of mechanical properties of shale caprock during the CO2 sequestration process in deep saline aquifers. This model quantifies the influence of mineral dissolution on porosity through experimental means, and establishes a bridge connection between this parameter of porosity and the physical and mechanical properties of rocks (such as hardness, compressive strength, elastic modulus), so as to realize the quantitative prediction of shale mechanical properties.

[0034] The present invention verifies through experiments and establishes a quantitative model for the evolution of dissolution with time, fully considering the dynamic changes in the dissolution process, and effectively describes the influence of mineral dissolution on porosity changes through a time-dependent damage variable (Ds(t)). Through this model, the evolution trend of the mechanical properties (such as hardness, compressive strength, elastic modulus, etc.) of shale during the CO2 sequestration process in deep saline aquifers over time can be predicted, thereby providing data support for the long-term sequestration safety assessment.

[0035] Through experimental research on the mineral dissolution process, the present invention establishes a quantitative influence relationship between mineral dissolution and porosity changes. This relationship can reflect the influence of different mineral dissolution rates on porosity evolution and provides a reliable basis for subsequent mechanical property prediction. This model can more accurately describe the influence of mineral dissolution on the pore structure of shale and further calculate the influence of porosity on mechanical properties.

[0036] Based on the traditional single-scale model, the present invention adopts a multi-scale coupling analysis method, considering the multi-dimensional interactions of mineral dissolution, porosity changes, mechanical properties, etc. Through this comprehensive model, the deterioration process of the shale caprock and its influence on mechanical properties during long-term sequestration can be predicted more comprehensively, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the prediction.

[0037] The model parameters of the present invention are obtained by fitting experimental data, avoiding the complex simulation calculation process in traditional methods, and the application of the model no longer depends on high-precision experimental conditions. By embedding this model into commercial software, the prediction and analysis of the CO2 sequestration environment can be carried out quickly and effectively, with high engineering application value.

[0038] First, the present invention provides a method for predicting the mechanical properties of carbon sequestration in saline aquifer shale, specifically as Figure 1 shown, including the following steps: S101. Obtain a shale sample from a saline aquifer, simulate the dissolution reaction of the shale sample under preset environmental conditions, and obtain the porosity and multi-scale mechanical properties of the shale sample.

[0039] Specifically, a long 8 shale sample can be collected from the actual reservoir environment, such as the deep 1610-meter saline aquifer in the Ordos Basin, and cut into cylindrical specimens with a diameter of 25 mm and a height of 50 mm. The sample is treated with vacuum-saturated salt solution to simulate the deep saline aquifer environment.

[0040] Simulate the dissolution reaction of supercritical carbon dioxide SC-CO2 and saline water on the shale sample under preset temperature and pressure, record and analyze the state of the shale sample at preset time intervals, and obtain the porosity and multi-scale mechanical properties of the shale sample. Among them, the preset temperature and pressure are the temperature and pressure conditions of the shale sample in the target formation.

[0041] In this step, it is necessary to simulate the long-term effects of the combined action of SC-CO2 and brine on shale under high temperature and high pressure conditions.

[0042] Exemplarily, a high temperature and high pressure reactor with a design pressure of 15.7 MPa and a temperature of 328.55 K is used, and a simulated brine solution containing Na + , Ca 2 + , Mg 2+ and other ions and SC-CO2 gas are injected. The ratio of SC-CO2 gas to the simulated brine solution in the reactor is set to 1:9. Multiple corrosion reaction time points (0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 days) are set, and chemical, physical, and mechanical experimental tests are carried out on the samples to observe the effects of different corrosion stages on shale.

[0043] Then, multi-dimensional performance tests are carried out on the shale samples. As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , it includes the analysis of mineral composition: the dissolution and precipitation processes of various mineral components in shale are recorded and analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). For example, the dissolution of carbonate minerals leads to the release of Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ .

[0044] S102. Fit the first variation law of porosity with time using the Boltzmann growth curve.

[0045] In this step, based on the above experimental data, fitting is carried out to explore the correlation between variables. Specifically, based on the experimental data and the fitting analysis results, a multi-scale coupling model of porosity-damage variable-mechanical properties is established. This model can uniformly describe the effects of SC-CO2 and brine corrosion on the properties of shale from micro to macro. Furthermore, through the time-dependence of the damage variable, the evolution trends of the pore structure and mechanical properties of shale at different time points are quantitatively predicted. Among them, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology can be used to measure the pore volume and pore size distribution of shale at different corrosion times, and quantitatively analyze the evolution trends of micropores, mesopores, and macropores, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 .

[0046] First, explore the relationship between porosity (φ) and time (T): Through experimental data, use the Boltzmann growth curve for fitting to reveal the first variation law of porosity with time: ; where e is the natural constant, is the reaction rate constant; the fitting constants A1 and A2 are closely related to the porosity in the initial state and the completely dissolved state, respectively, and can be determined by experiments. To describe these two states, the initial porosity ([[]] ) and the final porosity ( ) are equivalently replaced to obtain an approximate expression of the first variation law: .

[0047] S103. Define the dissolution damage variable according to the change of porosity, and determine the second variation law of the dissolution damage variable with respect to time based on the first variation law.

[0048] In this step, first, define the dissolution damage variable according to the change of porosity : ; is the porosity representation with respect to time T; is the initial porosity, is the theoretical maximum porosity when all soluble minerals are completely dissolved. Then, combined with the first variation law, substitute the variation law of porosity with respect to time into the definition formula of the dissolution damage variable to determine the model of the damage variable with respect to time. That is, on the basis of the dissolution damage variable, further combine the porosity and time model to obtain the second variation law: .

[0049] S104. Use the exponential decay function to fit the third variation law of the multi-scale mechanical properties with respect to porosity and the dissolution damage variable.

[0050] In this step, it is necessary to explore the relationship between mechanical properties such as compressive strength and elastic modulus and porosity. First, conduct micro-mechanical property tests. Use a nano-indentation instrument to measure the micro-hardness and micro-elastic modulus of shale, and observe the decreasing trend of hardness at different dissolution time points, such as Figure 6 shown. Second, conduct macro-mechanical property tests. Use a triaxial compression system to measure the change of the macro-compressive strength and macro-elastic modulus of shale with dissolution time, such as Figure 7 shown.

[0051] Use the exponential decay function to fit and establish a quantitative relationship between porosity and its influence on micro-hardness, micro-elastic modulus and macro-properties, such as the correlation between porosity and micro- and macro-elastic modulus shown in Figure 8 and the correlation between porosity and micro-hardness, macro-compressive strength shown in Figure 9 .

[0052] For these multi-scale mechanical property parameters, such as micro-hardness, micro-elastic modulus, macro-elastic modulus and macro-compressive strength, they are all expressed by a unified exponential fitting function with respect to porosity. That is, the formula of the third variation law is: ; Wherein, P0 is the initial performance value, , , are material constants describing the influence degree of dissolution damage on the mechanical properties of shale, where .

[0053] S105. By combining the second variation law and the third variation law, the multi-scale mechanical property evolution law of shale is obtained, and this multi-scale mechanical property evolution law is used as a prediction model.

[0054] By combining the above second variation law and third variation law, the evolution model of the long-term mechanical properties of shale under the action of CO2 can be obtained, that is, the multi-scale mechanical property evolution law of shale. Taking this multi-scale mechanical property evolution law as a prediction model, the specific formula is: .

[0055] S106. Obtain the target porosity data of the target shale, input the target porosity data into the prediction model, and obtain the prediction results of the mechanical property evolution of shale in the saline aquifer at different time scales.

[0056] This model of the present invention can be directly applied to the design and risk assessment of CO2 storage sites, providing a scientific basis for ensuring the long-term stability of geological storage sites.

[0057] By adopting the above method, through simulating the dissolution reaction of SC-CO2 and brine under preset temperature and pressure, the state changes of shale samples at different time points can be accurately captured. Using the Boltzmann growth curve to fit the first variation law of porosity with time, the growth or change of porosity with time can be accurately described; by defining the dissolution damage variable and determining its second variation law based on the change of porosity, the damage degree caused by dissolution to shale samples can be quantified, and the process of the mechanical properties of shale being affected by dissolution can be clarified; using the exponential decay function to fit the third variation law of multi-scale mechanical properties with porosity and damage variables, this method can establish the mathematical relationship between mechanical properties, porosity, and damage variables, and then construct the change law of the multi-scale mechanical properties of shale on the time scale. By comprehensively analyzing the multi-scale mechanical properties, this method determines the evolution process of the mechanical properties of shale with dissolution, accurately simulates the deterioration process of shale on a long time scale, can predict the mechanical properties of shale at different time scales, has high accuracy and reliability, not only helps to design more efficient CO2 storage projects, but also can reduce the potential leakage risk, providing a scientific basis for risk control and monitoring.

[0058] Secondly, the present invention also provides a device for predicting the mechanical properties of carbon sequestration in saline aquifer shale, as Figure 10 shown, including: An acquisition module 1001 is configured to acquire shale samples from a saline aquifer, simulate the dissolution reaction of the shale samples under preset environmental conditions, and obtain the porosity and multi-scale mechanical properties of the shale samples.

[0059] A fitting module 1002 is configured to fit the first variation law of porosity with time using a Boltzmann growth curve; define a dissolution damage variable based on the change in porosity, and determine the second variation law of the damage variable with respect to time based on the first variation law; fit the third variation law of the multi-scale mechanical properties with porosity and the damage variable using an exponential decay function; and obtain the evolution law of the multi-scale mechanical properties of the shale by combining the second variation law and the third variation law, and use the evolution law of the multi-scale mechanical properties as a prediction model.

[0060] A determination module 1003 is configured to acquire target porosity data of a target shale, input the target porosity data into the prediction model, and obtain a prediction result of the mechanical property evolution of the saline aquifer shale at different time scales.

[0061] By using the above device, through simulating the dissolution reaction of SC-CO2 and saline water under preset temperature and pressure, the state changes of the shale samples at different time points can be accurately captured. Using the Boltzmann growth curve to fit the first variation law of porosity with time can accurately describe how the porosity increases or changes with time; by defining the dissolution damage variable and determining its second variation law based on the change in porosity, the degree of damage caused by dissolution to the shale samples can be quantified, and the process in which the mechanical properties of the shale are affected by dissolution can be clarified; using the exponential decay function to fit the third variation law of the multi-scale mechanical properties with porosity and the damage variable, this method can establish a mathematical relationship between the mechanical properties and porosity and the damage variable, and then construct the variation law of the multi-scale mechanical properties of the shale on the time scale. This method determines the evolution process of the mechanical properties of the shale with dissolution through comprehensive analysis of the multi-scale mechanical properties, accurately simulates the deterioration process of the shale on a long time scale, can predict the mechanical properties of the shale at different time scales, has high accuracy and reliability, not only helps to design more efficient CO2 sequestration projects, but also can reduce the potential leakage risk, and provides a scientific basis for risk control and monitoring.
