[0051] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention and to be able to implement it, the present invention is 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 are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] The purpose of this paper is to develop a quantitative model and method for predicting changes in the mechanical properties of shale caprocks during CO2 storage in deep saline aquifers. This model experimentally quantifies the effect of mineral dissolution on porosity and establishes a bridge between porosity and the physical and mechanical properties of rock (such as hardness, compressive strength, and elastic modulus), thereby enabling quantitative prediction of shale mechanical properties.

[0054] This study experimentally validates and establishes a quantitative model for the temporal evolution of dissolution. This model fully accounts for the dynamics of the dissolution process and effectively describes the impact of mineral dissolution on porosity changes through a time-dependent damage variable (Ds(t)). This model can predict the temporal evolution of shale mechanical properties (such as hardness, compressive strength, and elastic modulus) during CO2 storage in deep saline formations, providing data support for long-term storage safety assessments.

[0055] Through experimental research on the mineral dissolution process, this paper establishes a quantitative relationship between mineral dissolution and porosity changes. This relationship reflects the impact of different mineral dissolution rates on porosity evolution and provides a reliable basis for subsequent mechanical property predictions. This model can more accurately describe the impact of mineral dissolution on shale pore structure, and further infer the impact of porosity on mechanical properties.

[0056] This paper utilizes a multiscale coupled analysis approach, building on the traditional single-scale model, to account for the interactions among multiple dimensions, including mineral dissolution, porosity changes, and mechanical properties. This integrated model enables a more comprehensive prediction of shale caprock degradation and its impact on mechanical properties during long-term storage, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of predictions.

[0057] This method derives model parameters by fitting experimental data, avoiding the complex simulation and calculation processes of traditional methods. Furthermore, the model's application no longer relies on high-precision experimental conditions. By embedding the model into commercial software, it enables rapid and efficient prediction and analysis of CO2 storage environments, demonstrating high engineering application value.

[0058] First, the present invention provides a method for predicting the mechanical properties of carbon storage in saline shale. Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0059] S101. Obtain a shale sample from a saline layer, 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.

[0060] Specifically, a Chang 8 shale sample can be collected from an actual reservoir environment, such as the saline aquifer 1,610 meters deep in the Ordos Basin, and cut into cylindrical specimens with a diameter of 25 mm and a height of 50 mm. The sample is then treated with a vacuum-saturated salt solution to simulate the deep saline aquifer environment.

[0061] The system simulates the dissolution reaction of shale samples by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) and saline water at a preset temperature and pressure. The state of the shale samples is recorded and analyzed at preset intervals to obtain the porosity and multi-scale mechanical properties of the shale samples. The preset temperature and pressure are the temperature and pressure conditions of the shale samples in the target formation.

[0062] In this step, it is necessary to simulate the long-term impact of the combined action of SC-CO2 and salt water on shale under high temperature and high pressure conditions.

[0063] For example, a high-temperature and high-pressure reactor with a design pressure of 15.7 MPa and a temperature of 328.55 K is used to inject Na + , Ca 2 + Mg 2+ The plasma-induced simulated saline solution and SC-CO2 gas were mixed, with the ratio of SC-CO2 gas to simulated saline solution set at 1:9 in the reactor. Chemical, physical, and mechanical tests were performed on samples at multiple dissolution reaction time points (0, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 days) to observe the effects of different dissolution stages on the shale.

[0064] Then the shale samples were subjected to multi-dimensional performance tests, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes the analysis of mineral composition: X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used to record and analyze the dissolution and precipitation processes of various mineral components in shale, such as the dissolution of carbonate minerals leading to the precipitation of Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ release.

[0065] S102. Use the Boltzmann growth curve to fit the first variation law of porosity over time.

[0066] In this step, fitting is performed based on the above experimental data to explore the correlation between the variables. Specifically, based on the experimental data and fitting analysis results, a multi-scale coupling model of porosity-damage variables-mechanical properties is established. This model can uniformly describe the effects of SC-CO2 and saltwater dissolution on the microscopic to macroscopic properties of shale. Then, through the time dependence of the damage variables, the evolution trend of the pore structure and mechanical properties of shale at different time points can be 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 dissolution times, and quantitatively analyze the evolution trend of micropores, mesopores, and macropores, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown.

[0067] First, we explore the relationship between porosity (φ) and time (T): Based on the experimental data, we use the Boltzmann growth curve to fit and reveal the first change law of porosity over time:

[0068] ;

[0069] Among them, e is a 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 experimentally. In order to describe these two states, the initial porosity ( ) and final porosity ( ) is replaced by an equivalent method to obtain the approximate expression of the first change law:

[0070] .

[0071] S103 . Define a dissolution damage variable according to the change in porosity, and determine a second time-dependent change law of the dissolution damage variable based on the first change law.

[0072] In this step, we first define the dissolution damage variable according to the change of porosity. :

[0073] ;

[0074] is the porosity expression 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, the variation law of porosity with time is substituted into the dissolution damage variable In the definition formula, the damage variable with respect to time is determined. That is, based on the dissolution damage variable, the porosity and time models are further combined to obtain the second variation law:

[0075] .

[0076] S104. Use the exponential decay function to fit the third variation law of multi-scale mechanical properties and porosity and dissolution damage variables.

[0077] In this step, it is necessary to explore the relationship between mechanical properties, such as compressive strength and elastic modulus, and porosity. First, micromechanical properties tests are carried out. Nanoindenter is used to test the microhardness and microelastic modulus of shale, and the decreasing trend of hardness at different dissolution time points is observed. Figure 6Then, the macroscopic mechanical properties test was carried out, and the macroscopic compressive strength and macroscopic elastic modulus of shale were measured with the use of triaxial compression system as the changes of dissolution time were shown as follows: Figure 7 shown.

[0078] By fitting the exponential decay function, a quantitative relationship between the effects of porosity on microhardness, microelastic modulus and macroscopic properties is established, such as Figure 8 The correlation between porosity and micro- and macro-elastic moduli is shown in Figure 9 The correlation between porosity, microhardness and macro compressive strength is shown.

[0079] For these multi-scale mechanical property parameters, such as microhardness, microelastic modulus, macroelastic modulus, and macrocompressive 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:

[0080] ;

[0081] Among them, P0 is the initial performance value, 、 、 is a material constant that describes the effect of dissolution damage on the mechanical properties of shale, where .

[0082] S105. By combining the second change law and the third change law, a multi-scale mechanical property evolution law of shale is obtained, and the multi-scale mechanical property evolution law is used as a prediction model.

[0083] Combining the second and third change laws mentioned above, we can obtain the long-term evolution model of the mechanical properties of shale under the action of CO2, that is, the multi-scale mechanical property evolution law of shale. This multi-scale mechanical property evolution law is used as a prediction model. The specific formula is:

[0084] .

[0085] S106 , obtaining target porosity data of the target shale, inputting the target porosity data into the prediction model, and obtaining prediction results of the mechanical property evolution of the saline shale at different time scales.

[0086] The model of the present invention can be directly applied to the design and risk assessment of CO2 storage facilities, providing a scientific basis for ensuring the long-term stability of geological storage facilities.

[0087] By simulating the dissolution reaction of SC-CO2 and saline water at a preset temperature and pressure, this method accurately captures the state changes of shale samples at different time points. The Boltzmann growth curve is used to fit the first variation of porosity over time, accurately describing how porosity increases or changes over time. By defining a dissolution damage variable and determining its second variation based on porosity changes, the extent of dissolution damage to shale samples can be quantified, clarifying how the mechanical properties of shale are affected by dissolution. Using an exponential decay function to fit the third variation of multi-scale mechanical properties with porosity and damage variables, this method establishes a mathematical relationship between mechanical properties, porosity, and damage variables, and thus constructs the temporal variation patterns of the multi-scale mechanical properties of shale. This method, through a comprehensive analysis of multi-scale mechanical properties, determines the evolution of shale mechanical properties with dissolution, accurately simulates the shale degradation process over long timescales, and can predict shale mechanical properties at different timescales with high accuracy and reliability. This method not only facilitates the design of more efficient CO2 storage projects, but also reduces potential leakage risks, providing a scientific basis for risk control and monitoring.

[0088] Secondly, the present invention also provides a device for predicting the mechanical properties of carbon storage in saline shale. Figure 10 Shown, including:

[0089] The acquisition module 1001 is used to obtain a shale sample from a saline layer, 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.

[0090] Fitting module 1002 is used to fit a first variation law of porosity over time using a Boltzmann growth curve; define a dissolution damage variable based on the change in porosity, and determine a second variation law of the damage variable over time based on the first variation law; use an exponential decay function to fit a third variation law of multi-scale mechanical properties with porosity and damage variables; and obtain a multi-scale mechanical property evolution law of shale by combining the second variation law and the third variation law, and use the multi-scale mechanical property evolution law as a prediction model.

[0091] The determination module 1003 is used to obtain target porosity data of the target shale, input the target porosity data into the prediction model, and obtain prediction results of the mechanical property evolution of the saline shale at different time scales.

[0092] Using this device, by simulating the dissolution reaction of SC-CO2 and saline water at a preset temperature and pressure, the state changes of shale samples at different time points can be accurately captured. The Boltzmann growth curve is used to fit the first variation of porosity over time, accurately describing how porosity increases or changes over time. By defining a dissolution damage variable and determining its second variation based on porosity changes, the extent of dissolution damage to shale samples can be quantified, clarifying the process by which shale mechanical properties are affected by dissolution. Using an exponential decay function to fit the third variation of multi-scale mechanical properties with porosity and damage variables, this method establishes a mathematical relationship between mechanical properties, porosity, and damage variables, and thus constructs the temporal variation of the multi-scale mechanical properties of shale. This method, through a comprehensive analysis of multi-scale mechanical properties, determines the evolution of shale mechanical properties with dissolution, accurately simulates the shale degradation process over long timescales, and can predict shale mechanical properties at different timescales with high accuracy and reliability. This method not only facilitates the design of more efficient CO2 storage projects, but also reduces potential leakage risks, providing a scientific basis for risk control and monitoring.
