Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of oil and gas field development, and particularly relates to a non-isothermal three-dimensional fractured core acidizing numerical simulation method in the acidizing process. Background Technique

[0002] The acidizing numerical simulation technology is one of the core means to optimize the reservoir stimulation plan in the oil and gas development field. Existing research mostly focuses on the simulation of the acidizing process under two-dimensional or simplified models. Through methods such as dual-scale continuous models and discrete fracture networks, the influence law of fractures on the propagation of acid-etched wormholes has been initially revealed. However, in actual acidizing operations, the temperature difference between the acid fluid and the reservoir and the reaction heat release effect will significantly change the acid-rock reaction kinetic characteristics, thereby affecting the wormhole morphology and conductivity. Traditional models often simplify the temperature field as a steady state or ignore the heat effect, resulting in insufficient simulation accuracy of the dynamic heat transfer process when low-temperature acid fluid is injected into a high-temperature formation.

[0003] The current technology has significant limitations: on the one hand, most three-dimensional acidizing models are limited to isothermal conditions or a single temperature boundary assumption, and cannot simulate the transient heat transfer between the acid fluid and the rock and the dynamic evolution of the temperature field during the acid injection process; on the other hand, the temperature distribution of the fractured core is affected by the coupling of the fracture geometry, acid injection rate, and initial geothermal gradient, and the existing methods fail to deeply couple the three-dimensional fracture network with the non-isothermal field, resulting in the difficulty of quantifying the dynamic influence of the sudden change in the rheological properties of the acid fluid (such as the viscosity decrease and shunt ability weakening at high temperatures) on the wormhole branching pattern. Therefore, it is urgent to construct a three-dimensional non-isothermal fractured core acidizing numerical simulation method to accurately depict the multi-field coupling effect of heat-flow-fluidization and provide a more scientific theoretical basis for the acidizing process design of complex reservoirs. Summary of the Invention

[0047] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the technical features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. It should be pointed out that unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present application belongs.

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, a non-isothermal three-dimensional fractured core acidizing numerical simulation method successively includes the following steps: S1: Construct a physical model for the numerical simulation of fractured core acidizing, divide the grid and assign physical parameters: use structured grids to divide the matrix into grids, and use the matrix grid boundaries to divide the fractures into unstructured grids; the physical parameters include the porosity and permeability of the matrix and fractures, the matrix fluid temperature and the matrix rock temperature; S2: Calculate the crossflow coefficient NNC according to the current pore permeability state; S3: Solve the matrix and fracture pressure control equations, calculate the seepage velocity and the molar heat of reaction, and record the current injection pressure. The injection pressure recorded in the first cycle is the initial injection pressure; S4: Solve the matrix and fracture acid and rock temperature control equations, and calculate the effective diffusion coefficient of the acid, the acid reaction rate constant, and the mass transfer coefficient; S5: Solve the matrix and fracture acid concentration control equations, and calculate the porosity, pore throat radius, permeability, and pore specific surface area at the current time step; S6: According to the current injection pressure, determine whether the wormhole breaks through at the current time step: If it does not break through, repeat steps S2 - S5; if it breaks through, obtain the three-dimensional fractured core acidizing numerical simulation results.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the non-isothermal three-dimensional fractured core acidizing numerical simulation method of the present invention is adopted. As Figure 2 shown, the physical model of the fractured core acidizing numerical simulation established has a length of 0.075 m, a width of 0.025 m, and a height of 0.025 m, and 102 natural fractures are randomly and explicitly generated. Structured grids are used to divide the matrix, and unstructured grids are used to divide the fractures using the matrix grid boundaries. The number of matrix grids is 90×30×30, the number of fracture grids is 13075, and the total number of grids generated in the simulation area is 94075. The matrix grid size is 0.00083 m×0.00083 m×0.00083 m. Simulate the heat release during the acid-rock reaction in the acidizing process of carbonate rocks with complex fractures. Set the average pore volume of the matrix to 0.2, the matrix permeability to 10 mD, the fracture porosity to 0.8, the fracture permeability to 500 mD, the acid injection concentration to 15 wt% HCl (4.4178 kmol / m 3 )), the initial core temperature to 293.15 K, the initial acid solution temperature to 293.15 K, the acid injection rate to 5 ml / min, and the left side of the model is the acid injection boundary.

[0050] As Figures 3 to 7As shown, it is the wormhole structure (showing the grid with porosity greater than 0.9) at different acid injection pore volumes (dimensionless). It can be found that when the acid injection pore volume is 0.6, the wormholes only develop in a short section, and most of the acid solution is consumed in the matrix at the injection end of the core. As the acid injection pore volume gradually increases from the initial state, the wormholes start to develop from the acid injection boundary (left side) and gradually expand towards the interior of the core. The morphology evolves from a single main channel to a complex network of multi-level branches. The presence of fractures significantly affects the acid diversion path, causing the wormholes to preferentially extend along the high-permeability fractures. At the same time, the interaction with matrix dissolution forms a non-uniform expansion feature. Eventually, the amount of acid consumed by breaking through the core is only 1.33 pore volumes. The difference in the dual flow-guiding capabilities of fractures and the matrix (matrix permeability 10 mD, fracture permeability 500 mD) further exacerbates the asymmetry of wormhole branching, intuitively revealing the co-evolution mechanism of wormholes and natural fractures during the acidification process of fractured reservoirs.

[0051] As Figures 8 to 12 shown, it is the temperature distribution map caused by the acid-rock reaction heat of three-dimensional fractured core samples at different injection pore volumes. Under the initial conditions, the temperatures of the core and the acid solution are both 293.15 K. As the acid solution is injected at a speed of 5 ml / min, the heat released by the acid-rock reaction causes a significant increase in the local temperature, reaching a maximum of 299 K. The temperature field shows a decreasing trend from the acid injection boundary to the interior, and the high-temperature area coincides highly with the wormhole development area, indicating that the formation of dissolution channels accelerates the continuous reaction between the acid solution and the rock and releases heat. The fracture network, as an efficient heat transfer channel, promotes the rapid transfer of heat along the fractures, while the matrix area has a steeper temperature gradient due to its lower permeability. In addition, with the initial acid solution and the core at the same temperature, the dynamic temperature rise during the acidification process verifies the necessity of the multi-field coupling of heat-flow-fluidization in the non-isothermal model, revealing the regulatory effect of temperature changes on the acid solution viscosity, reaction rate, and wormhole branching pattern, providing a key basis for optimizing acid injection parameters.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the relevant art can make some modifications or variations equivalent to the equivalent embodiments within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention without departing from the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modification, equivalent change, and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
