Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydrate development, and particularly relates to a multifunctional testing device and method for hydrate exploitation and CO2 multiphase state storage. BACKGROUND

[0002] Natural gas hydrate is a new type of clean energy with great potential in the 21st century, and it has rich resources, huge reserves and broad development prospects. However, hydrate deposits are unevenly distributed, mainly in deep sea areas and permafrost regions, making development difficult. In the process of hydrate test mining, the depressurization method is often selected for its simple operation, easy to realize large-scale development, and low development cost, but it is limited by low gas production rate, limited range of suitable reservoirs, and other shortcomings, and cannot be widely applied. At present, the global climate change problem caused by CO2 emission is a great challenge facing the world today, and under the current energy transformation and "double carbon" target, permanent storage of CO2 in the underground is a promising solution to reduce CO2 emission. Compared with simply storing CO2, using CO2 to replace natural gas hydrate not only can extract CH4, but also can store CO2, which can achieve the exploitation of natural gas hydrate, carbon storage and reservoir stability, and meet the dual needs of energy exploitation and carbon storage.

[0003] However, the research on the mechanism of CO2 replacing CH4 is still in the initial stage of theoretical interpretation, and there are still deficiencies in the qualitative understanding of the replacement mechanism and the quantitative evaluation method of the replacement efficiency. The migration, solidification and permeation rules of each phase of CO2 in the hydrate reservoir of porous media, as well as the key influencing factors and influencing rules of CO2 storage rate and methane recovery rate are still not well understood. There is less systematic research on the migration, development and storage rules of liquid CO2 in the reservoir under the coupling of different particle size combination reservoirs, different methane hydrate saturations, different temperatures, different pressures, different depressurization amplitudes, different vertical depressurization points, different CO2 injection positions, different CO2 injection modes (continuous injection, intermittent injection, cyclic injection (CO2 injection and water injection cycle), etc.), different CO2 injection phases (gaseous, liquid, supercritical state), different CO2 injection rates, etc. And the existing experimental device only supports liquid and gaseous CO2 injection, without considering the injection of supercritical CO2; without carrying out layered exploitation simulation of CO2 replacing CH4 hydrate reservoir; and without fully exploring the variation rules of methane recovery rate, CO2 solidification and storage rules under the coupling of the above different working conditions.

[0004] Therefore, a hydrate exploitation and CO2 multi-phase state storage multifunctional testing device and method are considered to be developed, which integrates real simulation of actual reservoir conditions, in-situ generation of methane hydrate, depressurization of methane hydrate under different working conditions, replacement of methane hydrate by CO2 under different working conditions, diffusion and penetration of CO2 in the methane hydrate layer, and research on the synergistic mechanism of CO2 three-phase mode storage, so as to truly simulate actual marine reservoir working conditions, clarify the diffusion and penetration of CO2 in the hydrate reservoir, clarify the key influencing factors and laws of CO2 storage rate and methane recovery rate, and reveal the replacement-storage synergistic mechanism of CO2 three-phase mode, thereby providing important equipment for deep-sea hydrate commercial development and important technical support for CO2 replacement method for exploiting natural gas hydrate and CO2 multi-phase state storage testing.

When there is no intermittent flow of oil in the transparent tube and no bubbles, the experimental kettle is filled with oil, the exhaust is completed, and the oil filling button is pressed again. To prevent the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the rubber sleeve 57 in the experimental kettle from being too large, the actual experimental kettle filling and gas injection process are alternately performed, and the internal and external pressure difference is maintained to reach the required effective confining pressure (not more than 3 MPa).

[0045] S5: Experimental kettle methane gas injection process Before gas injection, adjust the first vacuum valve 10, the second vacuum valve 12, and the first gas injection valve 9, open the vacuum pipeline, run the vacuum pump 13, and perform vacuum treatment.

If the pressure in the experimental kettle changes significantly (decreases more), open the methane gas cylinder 1, the first pressure reducing valve 2, the methane gas injection valve 3, and the piston container 5, and measure the amount of methane gas through the first gas flow meter 4. Adjust the gas booster pump 6 for pressurization, and supplement the injection of a certain amount of methane gas into the experimental kettle 95 to supplement the pressure to the preset experimental pressure.

The first outlet valve 45 and the second outlet valve 47 are selectively opened to exploit the hydrate reservoir under different vertical point conditions, then the discharge valve 40 is opened, and the power switch of the heating and insulation sleeve 43 is opened to heat the outlet pipeline, so as to avoid the blockage of the pipeline by undecomposed hydrate particles. When the pressure in the experimental kettle reaches the preset pressure reduction amplitude, the data acquisition and control system 31 is adjusted and the pressure regulating valve 42 is closed, and the pressure reduction exploitation is ended. The gas production is counted by the second flow meter 41, and the change of methane concentration is read by the methane sensor 36, and the gas component and content are analyzed by the gas chromatograph 39.

In the supercritical CO2 generator 20, the conventional CO2 gas is converted into supercritical CO2 by adjusting temperature and pressure, and output to a buffer accumulator 21 for temporary storage. A phase state monitoring unit 22 is used to monitor the temperature and pressure of the supercritical CO2 in the pipeline. If the state of the supercritical CO2 changes, the supercritical adjustment system 23 is automatically adjusted to maintain the supercritical state of CO2 (with a temperature control accuracy of ±0.1°C and a pressure control accuracy of ±0.1MPa). Different CO2 injection rates, different CO2 injection cycle periods, and multiple CO2 injection modes (continuous injection, intermittent injection, and cyclic injection (CO2 injection and water injection cycle)) are adjusted.
