Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of natural gas exploration and development, and more specifically, to a three-dimensional visualization device and method for gas-water seepage and resistivity measurement in karst caves. Background Art
[0002] During the exploration and development of natural gas reservoirs, the study of the gas-water two-phase seepage and resistivity response characteristics is one of the cores of carbonate karst reservoir evaluation. Since the 1930s, gas-water two-phase seepage experiments have gradually attracted the attention of oil and gas exploration and development personnel. In the early gas-water two-phase seepage experiments, loose sand grain accumulations or underground rock samples were used, and gas or water was injected into the samples to simulate the gas-water two-phase seepage characteristics of gas reservoirs. This method could not directly observe the gas-water seepage inside the rock, and could only indirectly infer the gas-water ratio inside the rock by measuring the volume or weight of the fluid at the outlet end. Subsequently, based on the gas-water two-phase seepage experiment, a rock resistivity measurement experiment based on real cores was developed.
[0003] In recent years, with the progress of core experiment technology, a two-dimensional visualization gas-water seepage measurement method has been developed. This method is based on two-dimensional core slices or two-dimensional glass engraving technology. The core is directly made into two-dimensional slices or the pore structure is replicated into two-dimensional slices of materials such as glass, and then gas-water displacement and observation are carried out. Although this method can visually observe gas-water seepage, there are obvious differences between the two-dimensional pore space and the three-dimensional pore space of the real core, and this difference is particularly obvious in karst reservoirs. The reason is that the size of the karst caves in karst reservoirs is significantly larger than the size of the pores in conventional reservoirs, resulting in the gravitational influence on the fluid in the karst caves being significantly stronger than the influence of the fluid surface tension. However, the thickness of the observation samples prepared by the two-dimensional visualization gas-water seepage measurement method is extremely small, almost completely ignoring the influence of gravity, making the observation of gas-water seepage in karst reservoirs have certain limitations. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a three-dimensional visualization device for gas-water seepage and resistance measurement in karst reservoirs to solve the deficiencies of the existing gas-water two-phase seepage and resistivity measurement technologies in terms of visualization and the influence of fluid gravity. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a three-dimensional visualization device and method for gas-water seepage and resistivity measurement in karst caves, which can carry out three-dimensional visualization gas-water displacement experiments, and can dynamically observe gas-water seepage characteristics and measure resistivity under the condition of considering the influence of fluid gravity, so as to obtain the three-dimensional gas-water space distribution at any water saturation state of the karst reservoir and the resistivity under the corresponding state.

[0015] The right side of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model is the fluid outflow side, and the fluid recovery device is communicated with the transparent fluid conduit interface on the right side of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model through a fluid conduit.
[0016] Further, video recording devices are respectively arranged directly above and in front of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model, so that the karst cave area of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model is completely at the center of the video recording field of view and the captured images are clear and non-overlapping;
[0017] The two video recording devices respectively record the flow and distribution of the fluid in the three-dimensional visualization measurement model from the front view and the top view directions.

One side of the transparent fluid inlet and outlet channels has the same lateral area as the transparent karst cave area, and the other side has a hollow cylindrical channel with a certain length;
[0023] Print the transparent fluid conduit interface: Adopt the same transparent compressive material as the transparent karst cave area to fabricate the transparent fluid conduit interface.

[0024] Assemble the three-dimensional visualization measurement model: Assemble the conductive metal mesh sheet, the transparent fluid inlet and outlet channels, and the transparent fluid conduit interface on the left and right sides of the transparent karst cave area respectively to obtain a completely sealed and transparent three-dimensional visualization measurement model.
[0025] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a method for measuring the gas-water seepage and resistivity of a three-dimensional visualization karst cave, which is applied to the above-mentioned three-dimensional visualization gas-water seepage and resistivity measurement device for a karst cave, and includes the following steps:

[0027] Assemble the three-dimensional visualization measurement model into the three-dimensional visualization gas-water seepage and resistivity measurement device for a karst cave;
[0028] A gas-water displacement experiment is carried out using a colored salt solution. Based on the images of the salt solution distribution states in the front view and top view directions captured by a video recording device, the water saturation under this salt solution distribution state is obtained.
[0029] Through a resistance measuring device, the resistance corresponding to the three-dimensional visualization measurement model under a certain water saturation state is obtained, and the corresponding resistivity is obtained by converting through the pre-measured resistivity calibration coefficient K.
[0030] Furthermore, the method of carrying out the gas-water displacement experiment using a colored salt solution and obtaining the water saturation under this salt solution distribution state based on the images of the salt solution distribution states in the front view and top view directions captured by a video recording device specifically includes:
[0031] Calculate the core porosity through formula (1):
[0032]
[0033] In the formula, is the core porosity, %; px pore is the number of pixel points corresponding to the core cave structure obtained during the extraction of the core cave space, dimensionless; px ma is the number of pixel points of the known core skeleton, dimensionless;
[0034] Based on the images of the salt solution distribution states in the front view and top view directions captured by a video recording device, calculate the number of pixel points of the core cave structure occupied by the salt solution, and then calculate the water saturation under this salt solution distribution state through formula (2):
[0035]
[0036] In the formula, Sw is the water saturation, %; px w is the number of pixel points of the core cave structure occupied by the salt solution, dimensionless; px pore is the number of pixel points corresponding to the core cave structure, dimensionless.
[0037] Furthermore, the measurement method of the resistivity calibration coefficient K is:
[0038] Use the same transparent printing material as the three-dimensional visualization measurement model, and prepare a three-dimensional visualization calibration model through 3D printing technology. The transparent hollow area of the three-dimensional visualization calibration model is a hollow cube structure, and its external dimensions are the same as those of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model. The hollow cube structure is the largest inscribed cube of the transparent cave area of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model. The left and right sides of the hollow cube structure are assembled with conductive metal grid sheets, transparent fluid inlet and outlet channels, and transparent fluid conduit interfaces that are the same as those of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model;
[0039] Replace the three-dimensional visualization measurement model with a three-dimensional visualization calibration model and assemble it into the three-dimensional visualization gas-water seepage and resistivity measurement device for karst caves.
[0040] After the three-dimensional visualization calibration model is completely filled with salt solution, use a resistance measurement device to measure the resistance of the three-dimensional visualization calibration model. Given the resistivity of the salt solution, the ratio of the two is the resistivity calibration coefficient K, which is expressed by the formula:
[0041]
[0042] In the formula, K is the resistivity calibration coefficient, m; R w is the resistivity of the salt solution, Ω·m; r c is the resistance of the three-dimensional visualization calibration model measured after it is completely filled with salt solution, Ω.
[0043] Furthermore, the calculation formula for the resistivity of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model is as follows:
[0044] R m =K×r m (4)
[0045] In the formula, R m is the resistivity of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model under the same water saturation, Ω·m; K is the resistivity calibration coefficient, m; r m is the resistance of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model under a certain water saturation state, Ω.
[0046] According to the specific embodiments provided by the present invention, the following technical effects are disclosed: The three-dimensional visualization gas-water seepage and resistivity measurement device and method provided by the present invention. The device includes a three-dimensional visualization measurement model, a stage, a constant fluid pump, a resistance measurement device, a fluid recovery device, and a video recording device. Among them, the three-dimensional visualization measurement model is a transparent model printed by 3D printing technology based on the core karst cave structure, and can be used to simulate the three-dimensional karst cave space structure of a real karst reservoir. Using this device to carry out gas-water displacement experiments, the three-dimensional gas-water spatial distribution under any water saturation state of the karst reservoir and the resistivity under the corresponding state can be obtained.
[0047] For the core of carbonate karst reservoirs, existing rock electricity experiments can easily obtain their resistivity responses, but the gas-water seepage state in the karst cave space cannot be observed. The device provided by the present invention can simultaneously observe the gas-water seepage characteristics in the karst cave space while simulating the gas-water seepage and resistivity measurement process.
[0048] Existing visualization displacement models can observe the gas-water seepage state of samples. However, most samples are two-dimensional karst cave structures extracted from two-dimensional core photos, which are very different from real karst cave structures. Based on 3D printing technology, the present invention extracts real three-dimensional karst cave structures and prepares transparent models with the same karst cave space. By combining simulated gas-water seepage and resistivity measurement experiments and performing data conversion, the seepage characteristics and resistivity response characteristics of karst cave reservoirs can be reflected.

[0062] Aiming at the shortcomings of the existing gas-water two-phase seepage and resistivity measurement technologies in terms of visualization and the influence of fluid gravity, the present invention provides a three-dimensional visualization gas-water seepage and resistivity measurement device for karst cave reservoirs. By using this device to carry out gas-water displacement experiments, the three-dimensional gas-water spatial distribution at any water saturation state of the karst cave reservoir and the resistivity in the corresponding state can be obtained.
[0063] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.
[0064] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the three-dimensional visualization gas-water seepage and resistivity measurement device provided by the present invention includes: a three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1, a carriage 2, a constant fluid pump 3, a resistance measurement device 4, a fluid recovery device 5, and a video recording device 6;
[0065] The three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1 is arranged on the stage 2;
[0066] The stage 2 is used to fix the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1 to prevent the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1 from shifting;
[0067] The three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1 is a transparent model printed by 3D printing technology based on the core karst cave structure. The transparent model includes a transparent karst cave area, and the core karst cave structure is included in the transparent karst cave area; Conductive metal mesh sheets 1-2, transparent fluid inlet / outlet channels 1-3 and transparent fluid conduit interfaces 1-4 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1. The conductive metal mesh sheet 1-2 is externally connected to a wire 8. The transparent fluid inlet / outlet channel 1-3 is communicated with the transparent fluid conduit interface 1-4, and the transparent fluid conduit interface 1-4 is externally connected to a fluid conduit 7;
[0068] The left side of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1 is the fluid injection side. The constant fluid pump 3 is communicated with the transparent fluid conduit interface 1-4 on the left side of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1 through the fluid conduit 7 for injecting fluid into the three-dimensional visualization measurement model; Exemplarily, the fluid is gas or salt solution;
[0069] The right side of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1 is the fluid outflow side. The fluid recovery device 5 is communicated with the transparent fluid conduit interface 1-4 on the right side of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1 through the fluid conduit 7 for collecting the fluid flowing out of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model, which can be used for recycling;
[0070] The resistance measurement device 4 is electrically connected to the conductive metal mesh sheet 1-2 through the wire 8 for measuring the resistivity of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1;
[0071] The video recording device 6 is used to record the flow and distribution of the fluid in the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1 from multiple perspectives (for example, two directions of front view and top view);
[0072] The fluid conduit 7 connects the constant fluid pump 3, the fluid recovery device 5 and the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 4 for transporting fluid; The wire 8 is used to connect the resistance measurement device 4 and the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1 for measuring the resistivity of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1.
[0073] Specifically, video recording devices 6 are respectively arranged directly above and in front of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1, so that the karst cave area of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model is completely at the center of the video recording field of view and the captured images are clear and non-overlapping;
[0074] The two video recording devices 6 record the fluid flow and distribution in the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1 from the front view and the top view respectively.
[0075] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the preparation method of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1 includes the following six steps:
[0076] ① Core karst cave space extraction:
[0077] After CT scanning the core in the study area, the skeleton and karst cave structure data of the core are obtained through image processing technology; then, a representative karst cave structure area is selected and extracted into a cubic area to obtain the core karst cave space in cubic form.
[0078] ② Transparent karst cave area printing:
[0079] Using the core karst cave space in cubic form as a template, a transparent compressive material is used, and 3D printing technology is used to print out the transparent karst cave area 1-1;
[0080] ③ Conductive metal grid sheet production:
[0081] A metal material with strong conductivity (such as gold, copper, aluminum alloy, etc.) is selected and processed into a conductive metal grid sheet 1-2 with the same lateral area as the transparent karst cave area and a relatively thin thickness. It is required that the grid density inside the conductive metal grid sheet 1-2 is appropriate, that is, the conductive metal grid sheet 1-2 must be in contact with the fluid, but will not completely block the inflow and outflow of the fluid. It is also required that a part of the top of the conductive metal grid sheet 1-2 extends as an electrode for connecting with the wire 8;
[0082] ④ Transparent fluid inlet and outlet channel printing:
[0083] Using the same transparent compressive material as the transparent karst cave area, a transparent fluid inlet and outlet channel 1-3 is made. One side of the transparent fluid inlet and outlet channel 1-3 has the same lateral area as the transparent karst cave area, and the other side has a hollow cylindrical channel with a certain length;
[0084] ⑤ Transparent fluid conduit interface printing:
[0085] Using the same transparent compressive material as the transparent karst cave area, a transparent fluid conduit interface 1-4 is made. The transparent fluid conduit interface 1-4 is a hollow cylinder, its outer diameter is the same as the diameter of the hollow cylindrical channel of the transparent fluid inlet and outlet channel, and its inner diameter is the same as the size of the fluid conduit, ensuring that the fluid conduit 7 can be connected;
[0086] ⑥ Three-dimensional visualization measurement model assembly:
[0087] Using techniques such as thermocompression bonding, micro-encapsulation bonding, or precision adhesion, assemble the above-mentioned parts, namely the transparent karst cave area 1-1, the conductive metal mesh sheet 1-2, the transparent fluid inlet / outlet channel 1-3, and the transparent fluid conduit interface 1-4 together. It is required that the contact areas between the parts are completely sealed and remain transparent, and finally a three-dimensional visualization measurement model is obtained, as shown in Figure 2 shown as A in
[0088] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a method for measuring gas-water seepage and resistivity in a three-dimensional visualization karst cave, which is applied to the above-mentioned three-dimensional visualization gas-water seepage and resistivity measurement device in a karst cave, and includes the following steps:
[0089] S1, based on the core karst cave structure in the study area, use a transparent compressive material and print a three-dimensional visualization measurement model in a transparent state through 3D printing technology. The three-dimensional visualization measurement model includes a transparent karst cave area and conductive metal mesh sheets, transparent fluid inlet / outlet channels, and transparent fluid conduit interfaces assembled on the left and right sides of the transparent karst cave area respectively;
[0090] The specific preparation method of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model is the 6 steps of the preparation method of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model as described above;
[0091] S2, assemble the three-dimensional visualization measurement model into the three-dimensional visualization gas-water seepage and resistivity measurement device in a karst cave;
[0092] S3, conduct a gas-water displacement experiment using a colored salt solution, and obtain the water saturation under the distribution state of the salt solution based on the images of the salt solution distribution state taken by the video recording device in the front view direction and the top view direction; specifically, the calculation of porosity and water saturation is as follows:
[0093] During the extraction process of the core karst cave space, the number of pixel points (px pore ) corresponding to the real karst cave space structure of the core can be obtained, and the number of pixel points (px ma ) corresponding to the core skeleton is known. The core porosity can be calculated through formula (1):
[0094]
[0095] In the formula, is the core porosity, %; px pore is the number of pixel points of the karst cave, dimensionless; px ma is the number of pixel points of the core skeleton, dimensionless.
[0096] Select a salt solution with a special color for the gas-water displacement experiment, and the distribution state of the salt solution in the cavern space of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model can be easily observed. Based on the images of the salt solution distribution state in the front view and top view directions taken by the video recording device, the number of pixel points (px w ) occupied by the salt solution in the cavern space can be calculated, and then the water saturation (Sw) under this salt solution distribution state can be calculated through formula (2):
[0097]
[0098] In the formula, Sw is the water saturation, %; px w is the number of pixel points of the salt solution, dimensionless; px pore is the number of pixel points of the core cavern, dimensionless.
[0099] S4. Through the resistance measurement device, obtain the resistance corresponding to the three-dimensional visualization measurement model under a certain water saturation state, and convert it to the corresponding resistivity through the previously measured resistivity calibration coefficient K.
[0100] Among them, the measurement method of the resistivity calibration coefficient K is as follows:[[]]
[0101] As Figure 3 shown, use the same transparent printing material as the three-dimensional visualization measurement model, and prepare a three-dimensional visualization calibration model through 3D printing technology. The transparent hollow area 1-1' of the three-dimensional visualization calibration model is a hollow cube structure, as Figure 4 shown. Its external dimensions are the same as those of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model. The hollow cube structure is the largest inscribed cube of the transparent cavern area of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model. The left and right sides of the hollow cube structure are assembled with the same conductive metal grid sheets, transparent fluid inlet and outlet channels, and transparent fluid conduit interfaces as the three-dimensional visualization measurement model;
[0102] Replace the three-dimensional visualization calibration model with the three-dimensional visualization measurement model and assemble it into the three-dimensional visualization cavern gas-water seepage and resistivity measurement device;
[0103] After the three-dimensional visualization calibration model is completely filled with salt solution, use the resistance measurement device to measure the resistance of the three-dimensional visualization calibration model, and knowing the resistivity of the salt solution, the ratio of the two is the resistivity calibration coefficient K, which is expressed by the formula as:[[]]
[0104]
[0105] In the formula, K is the resistivity calibration coefficient, m; R w is the resistivity of the salt solution, Ω·m; r c is the resistance of the three-dimensional visualization calibration model measured after being completely filled with salt solution, Ω.
[0106] Using a resistance measurement device, obtain the resistance r of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model corresponding to a certain water saturation state. m ; Then, using formula (4), obtain the resistivity R of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model corresponding to this water saturation state. m ; The resistivity (R m ) of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model can be approximately equal to the true resistivity (R t ) of the core. The calculation formula for the resistivity of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model is as follows:
[0107] R m = K × r m (4)
[0108] In the formula, R m is the resistivity of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model under the same water saturation, in Ω·m; K is the resistivity calibration coefficient, in m; r m is the resistance of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model under a certain water saturation state, in Ω.
[0109] Among them, the meaning of the three-dimensional visualization calibration model:
[0110] The original experimental data measured by the three-dimensional visualization measurement model is resistance, and the resistivity needs to be obtained through conversion by the resistivity calibration coefficient K. The resistivity calibration coefficient K is related to the structure of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model and can be obtained through the three-dimensional visualization calibration model. For a three-dimensional visualization measurement model with a fixed size, only one three-dimensional visualization calibration model of the same size needs to be made. Under the condition of ensuring that the external conditions remain unchanged, the resistivity calibration coefficient K of the same three-dimensional visualization measurement model is constant. Therefore, only the resistivity (R w ) of the salt solution and the resistance (r c ) of the calibration model completely filled with the salt solution need to be measured once in the whole experiment. This avoids the cumbersome measurement of the resistivity of the salt solution and the three-dimensional visualization calibration model.
[0111] The structure and preparation of the three-dimensional visualization calibration model:
[0112] As Figure 3 shown, use the same transparent printing material as the transparent karst cave area to prepare the three-dimensional visualization calibration model. The difference between the three-dimensional visualization measurement model and the three-dimensional visualization calibration model sample is that the transparent hollow area of the three-dimensional visualization calibration model sample is a hollow cube structure, its external dimensions are the same as those of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model, the internal dimensions are the largest inscribed cube of the karst cave space in the three-dimensional visualization measurement model, and the rest of the parts are exactly the same; and the parts are combined according to the same combination technology and requirements as the three-dimensional visualization measurement model, and finally the three-dimensional visualization calibration model is obtained.
[0113] Embodiment
[0114] The specific embodiments of the three-dimensional visualization method for gas-water seepage and resistivity measurement in karst caves of the present invention are as follows:
[0115] (1) Preparation and structure of three-dimensional visualization measurement model
[0116] The preparation of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model is completed according to the aforementioned 6 steps.
[0117] ① Extraction of core karst cave space
[0118] Select the core of a karst cave type carbonate rock reservoir in a certain area. After CT scanning, intercept a core data area with a length of 4 cm, a width of 4 cm, and a height of 4 cm. Through image processing technology, obtain the skeleton and karst cave structure data of the core. After segmenting the representative karst cave structure, extract it to the center of a cube area with a length of 4 cm, a width of 6 cm, and a height of 6 cm to obtain a karst cave space in the form of a cube.
[0119] ② Printing of transparent karst cave area

Connect the constant fluid pump 3 to the fluid conduit 7 externally, and then connect it to the fluid conduit interface in the fluid inlet area of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1. The fluid recovery device 5 is also connected to the fluid conduit externally and then connected to the fluid conduit interface in the fluid outlet area of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model. One end of the wire 8 is connected to the resistance measurement device 4, and the other end of the wire 8 is clamped on the electrode of the conductive metal grid sheet in the three-dimensional visualization measurement model 1.

Among them, during the experiment of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model, in order to determine the resistivity scale factor K, it can be replaced by the three-dimensional visualization scale model, and its connection method is the same as that of the three-dimensional visualization measurement model.

[0147] R m =K×r m =0.023×581.164=13.367 (8)
