Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development, and in particular to a method and system for quantitatively evaluating the imbibition and recovery efficiency of a shale oil reservoir. Background Art
[0002] Shale oil and gas development is experiencing rapid growth both domestically and internationally. However, the complex sedimentary environment of continental shale oil and gas in China, resulting in the development of reservoir interlayers and high clay mineral content, presents significant challenges for engineering reconstruction. In particular, the small pore throats and strong capillary forces in continental shale deposits hinder the flow of oil-phase fluids. Notably, continental shale deposits have high clay mineral content and strong hydration and imbibition. During the development of some blocks, it was found that hydration and imbibition can help induce small and micro-scale fractures, increase the complexity of the fracture network, and thus improve oil and gas recovery.
[0003] In recent years, to effectively utilize the increasing complexity of reservoir fractures caused by imbibition hydration, imbibition agents have been added to fracturing fluids during some shale oil reservoir construction operations to maximize the reservoir's imbibition efficiency and, consequently, enhance oil recovery. Mining sites typically conduct imbibition experiments on cores to evaluate the efficiency of selected imbibition agents. However, due to the high heterogeneity of shale oil reservoirs, reproducible core experiments are difficult to conduct, making quantitative evaluation of imbibition efficiency challenging.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] Prior art (CN105547958B) relates to a spontaneous imbibition measurement method for shale. Prior art (CN112255159B) discloses a comprehensive evaluation method for the hydration capacity of heterogeneous shale reservoirs. Prior art (CN114034597B) relates to a shale core high-temperature and high-pressure saturation, fracturing, and imbibition integrated device and experimental method thereof. Prior art (CN110320228B) discloses a test and analysis method and device for the oil recovery efficiency of CO2 injection and imbibition in shale oil reservoirs. Prior art (CN114076723A) provides a quantitative study method for imbibition in saline shale reservoirs. Prior art (CN108333098B) relates to a shale gas reservoir micro-fracture high-temperature and high-pressure visualization gas-water two-phase seepage experimental device that simulates the gas-liquid two-phase seepage law in shale under high temperature and high pressure.
[0042] However, all of the above existing technologies use cores (rock samples, etc.) to conduct imbibition experiments to evaluate the imbibition efficiency of the preferred imbibition agent. Due to the strong heterogeneity of shale oil reservoirs, repeatable core experiments are difficult to conduct, making quantitative evaluation of imbibition efficiency difficult.
[0043] The prior art (CN115824924A) discloses a high-temperature and high-pressure resistant imbibition visualization system and imbibition parameter measurement method, which achieves the effect of simulating the imbibition process under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions and visually observing the complete imbibition process. However, it does not construct an imbibition physical model according to the complex fracture network morphology after real reservoir fracturing, and cannot solve the current technical problem of the difficulty in quantitatively evaluating the imbibition efficiency of continental shale oil. Since the imbibition characteristics of different shale oil and gas blocks vary greatly, the prior art (CN115824924A) does not reflect the differences for specific oil and gas blocks and is not very instructive.
[0044] In response to the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention proposes a quantitative evaluation method and system for the imbibition and recovery efficiency of shale oil reservoirs to solve the problem of poor repeatability of shale oil reservoir imbibition experiments, improve the scientific nature of the evaluation of imbibition and recovery efficiency, and provide technical support for increasing shale oil reserves and production.
[0045] Figure 1 A flowchart showing the steps of a method for quantitatively evaluating the imbibition and recovery efficiency of a shale oil reservoir according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in step S101, the morphological characteristics of the imbibition network are extracted from the fracture network structure formed after hydraulic fracturing of the target reservoir to construct an imbibition physical model 10. Specifically, based on the extraction of the morphological characteristics of the complex fracture network after hydraulic fracturing of the target reservoir, an imbibition network morphology is constructed, and the imbibition physical model 10 is formed using 3D printing. Furthermore, the fracture network structure refers to the complex network system of hydraulic fractures and artificial fractures formed after (large-scale) hydraulic fracturing.
[0047] In one embodiment, in step S101 , an imbibition physical model 10 is constructed through steps S1011 - S1013 .
[0048] In step S1011, the pore throat structure characteristics of the target reservoir are studied and the average pore radius is determined. Specifically, the pore throat structure characteristics of the target reservoir are studied and the average pore radius is recorded as r1.
[0049] In step S1012, the radius of each imbibition channel in the imbibition network and the locations of the nodes where different imbibition channels intersect are determined based on the morphological characteristics of the imbibition network and the average pore radius. These are used as structural parameters of the imbibition physical model 10. Specifically, the structural parameters are determined by: using the rock sample cavity to represent each imbibition channel, using the average pore radius as the cavity radius of each imbibition channel; and using the nodes where different imbibition channels intersect as open nodes to indicate the interconnection between the different imbibition channels.
[0050] In one embodiment, based on the extraction of complex fracture network morphological characteristics of the target reservoir after fracturing, the imbibition network morphology is constructed, such as Figure 2 As shown, the radius of each imbibition pipeline is r1, and the node position where different imbibition pipelines intersect is an open node, which can realize the interconnection of different imbibition pipelines.
[0051] In step S1013, the imbibition physical model 10 is constructed based on the structural parameters. Specifically, by means of 3D printing, Figure 2 Printing forms the imbibition physical model 10, the imbibition physical model 10 has a length and a width of L and a thickness of h. Figure 3 As shown in Figure 1, the imbibition channel is represented by a rock sample cavity with a cavity radius of r1.
[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in step S102, according to the original formation conditions, the imbibition physical model 10 is saturated with crude oil and formation water to obtain the imbibition physical model 10 in a saturated state.
[0053] In one embodiment, in step S102, the imbibition physical model 10 in a saturated state is obtained by the following steps: determining the original oil saturation and the original water saturation under the original formation conditions; saturating the imbibition physical model 10 with the crude oil volume V1 and the formation water volume V2 so that its oil saturation and water saturation are equal to the original oil saturation and the original water saturation, thereby obtaining the imbibition physical model 10 in a saturated state.
[0054] Specifically, the imbibition physical model 10 is saturated with crude oil volume V1 and formation water volume V2 so that its oil saturation and water saturation are equal to the original oil saturation and water saturation under formation conditions.
[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, in step S103, an imbibition efficiency quantitative evaluation experiment is carried out through the imbibition physical model 10 under saturation state to calculate the imbibition recovery efficiency of the imbibition liquid.
[0056] Specifically, after the imbibition physical model 10 is saturated with crude oil and formation water according to the formation oil saturation and water saturation in step S102, a quantitative evaluation of the imbibition efficiency is performed in step S103 to calculate the imbibition recovery efficiency of the imbibition liquid.
[0057] It should be noted that, depending on the actual situation, different imbibition liquids can be selected to conduct the imbibition efficiency quantitative evaluation experiment, and the present invention does not limit the type of imbibition liquid.
[0058] In one embodiment, in step S103, a quantitative evaluation experiment of imbibition efficiency is carried out through the following steps: in the edge imbibition pipe of the imbibition physical model 10 under saturation, a fluid injection port 1 and a fluid outflow port 2 are selected; the fluid injection port 1 and the fluid outflow port 2 are kept unobstructed, and the remaining edge imbibition pipes are closed; after injecting an imbibition liquid volume V3 through the fluid injection port 1, the fluid injection port 1 is closed; and the crude oil flowing out of the fluid outflow port 2 is collected, and the volume of the crude oil flowing out is recorded as V4.
[0059] In one embodiment, in step S103 , the imbibition recovery efficiency of the imbibition liquid is calculated by the following steps: the imbibition recovery efficiency η of the imbibition liquid is calculated by the outflowing crude oil volume V4 and the crude oil volume V1 saturated by the imbibition physical model 10 .
[0060] Specifically, the edges of the seepage pipe of the imbibition physical model 10 are kept closed except for the fluid injection port 1 and the fluid outflow port 2. Figure 3 As shown, 1 is the fluid injection port, 2 is the fluid outflow port, and the imbibition physical model 10 is placed in the Figure 4 The quantitative evaluation system shown in the figure was used to quantitatively evaluate imbibition efficiency. During the experiment, a volume of imbibition liquid (V3) was injected at a slow flow rate through fluid injection port 1. After this, fluid injection port 1 was closed and the volume of crude oil (V4) flowing out of fluid outlet port 2 was observed. This allowed the imbibition recovery efficiency (η) of the imbibition liquid to be calculated.
[0061] In one embodiment, in step S103, the imbibition efficiency of the imbibition liquid is calculated using the following expression:
[0062]
[0063] Where: η represents the imbibition recovery efficiency of the imbibition liquid, %; V4 represents the volume of crude oil flowing out of the fluid outflow port, mL; V1 represents the volume of crude oil saturated by the imbibition physical model, mL.
[0064] In summary, the present invention establishes a quantitative evaluation method for imbibition recovery efficiency based on the constructed shale oil reservoir imbibition physical model 10. By extracting the complex fracture network morphology characteristics of the target reservoir after fracturing, an imbibition network morphology is constructed. Using 3D printing technology, the imbibition physical model 10 is constructed to evaluate the imbibition recovery efficiency of different fluids, effectively improving the efficiency of volumetric fracturing of continental shale oil and gas.

The computer program is executed to implement the method for quantitatively evaluating the imbibition and extraction efficiency of shale oil reservoirs. A computer program is capable of executing computer instructions, which include computer program code. The computer program code may be in source code form, object code form, executable file, or some intermediate form.
[0066] Computer-readable storage media may include: any entity or device that can carry computer program code, recording media, USB flash drives, mobile hard drives, magnetic disks, optical disks, computer memory, read-only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), electrical carrier signals, telecommunication signals, and software distribution media, etc.
[0067] It should be noted that the content contained in computer-readable storage media can be appropriately increased or decreased according to the requirements of legislation and patent practices in the jurisdiction. For example, in some jurisdictions, according to legislation and patent practices, computer-readable storage media do not include electrical carrier signals and telecommunications signals.

[0069] According to another aspect of the present invention, a quantitative evaluation system for imbibition recovery efficiency of shale oil reservoirs is provided, which includes an imbibition physical model 10.
[0070] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a quantitative evaluation system for shale oil reservoir imbibition recovery efficiency also includes: a displacement pump 20, an imbibition liquid container 30, an outflow end fluid collection device 40, a temperature control device 50, and a data analysis device 60.
[0071] Specifically, the displacement pump 20 is used to pump the imbibed liquid in the imbibed liquid container 30 to the imbibed physical model 10 in a saturated state, the outflow end fluid collection device 40 is used to collect the liquid flowing out of the imbibed physical model 10 in a saturated state, the temperature control device 50 is used to control the temperature environment during the imbibed efficiency quantitative evaluation experiment, and the data analysis device 60 is used to calculate the imbibed liquid's imbibed extraction efficiency.
[0072] In summary, the present invention establishes a quantitative evaluation method for imbibition recovery efficiency based on a constructed shale oil reservoir imbibition recovery efficiency quantitative evaluation system. By extracting the complex fracture network morphology characteristics of the target reservoir after fracturing, an imbibition network morphology is constructed. Using 3D printing technology, an imbibition physical model 10 is formed. The imbibition recovery efficiency quantitative evaluation system is used to evaluate the imbibition recovery efficiency of different fluids, thereby improving the scientific nature of the imbibition efficiency evaluation of heterogeneous shale oil reservoirs.

[0077] (4) The rock sample imbibition model is saturated with 120 mL of crude oil and 26 mL of formation water so that its oil saturation and water saturation are equal to the original oil saturation and water saturation under formation conditions.
[0078] (5) Except for the fluid injection port 1 and the fluid outflow port 2, the edges of the seepage pipe of the rock sample imbibition model are kept open, and the rest of the pipe edges are kept closed. 1 is the fluid injection port, and 2 is the fluid outflow port. Figure 4 The quantitative evaluation system shown in the figure was used to quantitatively evaluate imbibition efficiency. After injecting 30 mL of imbibition liquid at a slow flow rate into fluid injection port 1 and closing it, the volume of crude oil flowing out of fluid outlet port 2 (40 mL) was observed.
