Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development engineering, and in particular to a device and method for experimental evaluation of reservoir injection and production capacity. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid growth of natural gas consumption, the contradiction between insufficient gas storage capacity and a safe and stable natural gas supply has further intensified. Underground gas storage (hereinafter referred to as "gas storage"), as the "ballast stone" that ensures the safe and stable operation of the natural gas energy market, plays an indispensable role in the entire natural gas industry chain. According to international experience, once natural gas external dependence exceeds 30%, the working gas volume of the gas storage facility must exceed 12% of consumption. Furthermore, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCS) technology is a new development trend in CCS. CCS technology primarily consists of four steps: capture, transportation, geological storage and monitoring, and enhanced oil recovery. Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. Currently, the goal of any carbon sequestration project worldwide is to safely store carbon dioxide in formations for hundreds or thousands of years to mitigate the impact of global climate change. Countries around the world are considering using depleted oil and gas reservoirs as CO2 storage for long-term CO2 storage. However, complex geological conditions make new gas storage facilities difficult, risky to operate, and expensive to construct. To improve the gas storage and peak-shaving capacity of gas storage facilities, we should not only focus on quantitative construction, but also strengthen the exploration of the potential of existing gas storage facilities to ensure their efficient operation.

[0003] Gas storage production must be completed within a short period of time (generally, injection within eight months and production within four months), forming an injection-production cycle. This repeated cycle, known as multi-cycle injection-production, involves large gas volumes. This high rate of injection and production within a short period of time causes cyclical changes in reservoir temperature, thermal expansion and contraction of the reservoir rock, and consequently, cyclical changes in reservoir volume. While the pressure of the overlying reservoir remains constant, during injection, the reservoir pore pressure increases until it reaches the upper operating pressure limit, reducing the effective reservoir stress. During production, the reservoir pore pressure decreases until it reaches the lower operating pressure limit, increasing the effective reservoir pressure. Therefore, during the injection and production processes, the reservoir rock experiences cyclical changes in effective stress, temperature, and fluid direction, inevitably leading to changes in reservoir seepage characteristics. This, in turn, affects the reservoir's injection-production capacity and storage capacity, hindering its efficient operation. Therefore, to accurately evaluate the impact of multi-cycle injection-production on the reservoir's injection-production capacity, it is necessary to simulate the gas storage production process and examine changes in reservoir seepage capacity.

[0004] Existing experimental evaluation devices use a constant internal pressure and variable confining pressure to load effective pressure. This loading method differs from actual gas storage production, where the overlying formation pressure remains constant (constant confining pressure) while the pore pressure of the reservoir changes during injection and production (variable internal pressure). The experimental temperature is set to a constant value, the initial reservoir temperature, which differs from actual gas storage production, where the reservoir temperature decreases during injection and increases during production. The experimental medium flows unidirectionally to test the permeability of the reservoir core, whereas in actual gas storage injection and production, the medium (natural gas) flows in opposite directions. Therefore, the reservoir state simulated by existing experimental devices differs from the reservoir state during actual injection and production, making it difficult to accurately evaluate the extent of reservoir damage caused by multi-cycle injection and production. A comprehensive experimental evaluation device and method based on the multi-cycle injection and production characteristics of gas storage is lacking.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to design experimental evaluation equipment and methods for reservoir injection and production capacity to provide experimental technical support for formulating efficient injection and production plans for gas storage facilities. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a reservoir injection and production capacity experimental evaluation device and method for accurately evaluating the impact of gas storage injection and production on the reservoir, providing experimental technical support for the formulation of efficient injection and production plans for gas storage, and at the same time, it has important guiding significance and experience reference for other gas storages to formulate efficient injection and production plans.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0037] Furthermore, based on the ratio of the permeability of each injection and production cycle to the initial permeability, the impact of the gas storage on the reservoir injection and production capacity during the corresponding injection and production cycle is characterized, including:

[0038] When the ratio is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 0.25, the evaluation result of the reservoir injection-production capacity is weak;

[0039] When the ratio is greater than or equal to 0.25 and less than 0.5, the evaluation result of the reservoir injection-production capacity is medium to weak;

[0079] In order to better illustrate this solution, the following examples are also provided.

[0080] Example

[0081] S1: Collect and organize the logging data of injection and production wells at each structural point of the gas storage reservoir, calculate the density and depth of each overlying stratum, and calculate the experimental confining pressure to be 67MPa. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0082]

[0083] Where: P—experimental confining pressure, MPa; H—formation depth, m; ρ(h)—formation density at depth h, g / cm3 ; g—gravitational acceleration, N / kg, z is the burial depth of the rock, m.

[0084] S2: Collect and organize the actual gas storage wellhead pressure (injection and production pressure), downhole pressure (reservoir pore pressure), and temperature data for the experimental pressure, experimental back pressure, and experimental temperature. The downhole pressure represents the upper and lower operating pressure limits of the gas storage, i.e., downhole pressures from 10.31 MPa to 30.60 MPa. The reservoir pore pressure is broken down into 3 MPa intervals, from a lower limit of 10 MPa to an upper limit of 31 MPa. The downhole pressures are 10 MPa, 13 MPa, 16 MPa, 19 MPa, 22 MPa, 25 MPa, 28 MPa, and 31 MPa, respectively. This means the experimental back pressures are 10 MPa, 13 MPa, 16 MPa, 19 MPa, 22 MPa, 25 MPa, 28 MPa, and 31 MPa.

[0085] The effective stress is calculated using the following formula:

[0086] D=P-Pn

[0087] Where: D is effective stress, MPa; P is experimental confining pressure, MPa; and Pn is downhole pressure, MPa. The calculation results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0088] The experimental temperatures were those monitored during actual injection and production at the gas storage facility: injection temperatures ranged from 37.85°C to 61.89°C; production temperatures ranged from 61.89°C to 37.85°C. During injection, the experimental temperature was decreased from 70°C to 35°C in 5°C increments. During production, the experimental temperature was increased from 35°C to 70°C in 5°C increments. Each temperature point was maintained for 15 minutes. Experimental temperatures were set at 35°C, 40°C, 45°C, 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C, and 70°C.

[0089] The experimental pressure difference is calculated based on the actual injection-production pressure difference of the gas storage reservoir. The calculation results are shown in Table 2. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0090] P zc =|P a -P n |

[0091] Where: Pzc—experimental pressure difference, MPa; Pa—wellhead oil pressure, MPa; Pn—downhole pressure, MPa.

[0092] Table 1. Effective stress of gas injection and production in gas storage

[0093]

[0094] Table 2 Gas storage injection and production pressure difference

[0095] Injection-production process Wellhead pressure, MPa Downhole pressure, MPa Injection-production pressure difference, MPa Gas injection period 7.67~25.82 10.31~30.60 2.64~4.78 Gas production period 24.54~2.95 30.60~10.31 6.06~7.36

[0096] In order to ensure the pertinence and accuracy of the experimental research, the experimental pressure difference range was expanded, and the experimental pressure difference values ​​were set to 2MPa, 3MPa, 4MPa, 5MPa, 6MPa, 7MPa, 8MPa, and 9MPa.

[0097] S3: Drill a columnar core from the reservoir of the gas storage injection and production well or the reservoir outcrop, create artificial seams and seal it with a heat shrinkable rubber sleeve to serve as the experimental core, φ2.54 cm × L 5.13 cm.

[0098] S4: Press Figure 1 Set up a reservoir injection and production capacity experimental evaluation device, load the experimental core into the pressure unit, and connect the pipelines at both ends of the pressure unit; stipulate that the left end of the core holder 7 is the initial inlet end of the medium and the right end is the initial outlet end, open valve A 14, valve B 23, valve H 25, valve C 17, valve E 19, valve F 20, valve D 24, close valve J 18 and valve I 22, and check that the valves of the pressure unit are in the correct position.

[0099] S5: Set the experimental confining pressure to 67 MPa and the reservoir temperature to 70°C on the control unit 13. Open the G valve 15, close the K valve 16, start the confining pressure pump 8, and begin linearly loading the experimental confining pressure to the overburden pressure of 67 MPa. Simultaneously, raise the temperature of the simulation unit to the reservoir temperature (initial reservoir temperature), and maintain the experimental confining pressure at 67 MPa and the temperature at 70°C for 2 hours. The linear loading rate of the confining pressure is calculated according to the following formula:

[0100]

[0101] Where: v—confining pressure loading rate, MPa / min;

[0102] p—overlying formation pressure, MPa;

[0103] t—Gas injection time of injection-production cycle experiment, min.

[0104] S6: Set the experimental back pressure points of 10 MPa, 13 MPa, 16 MPa, 19 MPa, 22 MPa, 25 MPa, 28 MPa, and 31 MPa on the control unit 13 in sequence, start linear loading to the experimental back pressure points in sequence, and stabilize the pressure at each experimental back pressure point for 15 minutes.

[0105] S7: Open the nitrogen cylinder 1, start the gas booster pump 3 to increase the pressure to the gas storage reservoir during gas injection and production, and reach the experimental pressure difference value (2MPa, 3MPa, 4MPa, 5MPa, 6MPa, 7MPa, 8MPa, 9MPa). Select the matching gas flow meter group 5 according to the flow rate, and select the matching differential pressure sensor group 21 according to the pressure difference change.

[0106] S8: The experimental test begins by gradually increasing the pressure from the lower limit to the upper limit of the gas storage reservoir. The experimental temperature is gradually reduced from the reservoir temperature to the lowest temperature monitored during gas injection. During this process, the pressure is stabilized at each point for 15 minutes, and then the permeability is continuously collected. This process represents the gas injection process of the gas storage reservoir. The changes in permeability with injection pressure and temperature are shown in Table 3 below.

[0107] S9: After the gas injection process is completed, the injection pressure and temperature are maintained constant for 1 hour. This process is the equilibrium period of the injection-production conversion period.

[0108] Table 3 Reservoir permeability changes with injection pressure and temperature during gas injection

[0109]

[0110] Table 4 Reservoir permeability changes with injection pressure and temperature during gas production

[0111]

[0112] S10: After the equilibrium period, valves A 14, J 18, C 17, E 19, F 20, H 25, and I 22 were opened, while valves B 23, D 24, and the medium inlet and outlet of core holder 7 were closed. The pressure was gradually reduced from the upper pressure limit of the gas storage reservoir to the lower pressure limit, and the experimental temperature was gradually increased to the gas storage reservoir temperature. During this process, the pressure was stabilized at each point for 15 minutes, and then the permeability was continuously collected. This process represents the gas production process of the gas storage reservoir. The changes in permeability with injection pressure and temperature are shown in Table 4.

[0113] S11: S8-S10 is one injection-production cycle. Repeating S8-S10 is multi-cycle injection-production. The permeability values ​​of the multi-cycle injection-production process are collected.

[0114] S12: The ratio of the permeability of any period of gas injection and production to the initial permeability is used to characterize the impact of the gas storage on the injection and production capacity of the reservoir at the injection and production time of the period. For example, the initial permeability is 1.062×10 -3 μm 2 The permeability at the end of the first injection-production cycle was 1.041×10 -3 μm 2 The permeability ratio characterizing the reservoir injection and production capacity is 0.98. According to Table 5, the reservoir injection and production capacity evaluation table of gas storage reservoirs shows that the reservoir injection and production capacity is strong at the end of the first injection and production cycle.

[0115] In summary, the present application provides a reservoir injection and production capacity experimental evaluation device, which simulates the actual injection and production characteristics of a gas storage facility, solves the problem that the existing effective stress pressurization method does not conform to the actual situation and the reservoir state remains unchanged, and can accurately evaluate the impact of the gas storage facility's injection and production on the reservoir, filling the gap in the current lack of a device and method for evaluating the impact of gas storage facility injection and production on the reservoir. It is also suitable for natural gas storage production, carbon dioxide storage (for injecting carbon dioxide underground for geological storage) production, and the evaluation of the impact of carbon dioxide injection on the reservoir to enhance gas recovery (EGR).
