Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas exploitation, in particular to a method for simulating micro seepage of CO2 flooding enhanced by porous medium nanofluid. BACKGROUND
[0002] CO2 flooding technology can effectively improve the mobility of crude oil and supplement the formation energy, and has become a promising enhanced oil recovery method for low permeability reservoirs. However, CO2 is prone to extract light components in crude oil during the flooding process, resulting in the deposition of heavy components such as asphaltene on the rock wall surface, forming an oil film that is difficult to flow, thereby reducing the flooding efficiency. In recent years, nanofluid technology has attracted widespread attention due to its unique interface regulation ability. It can effectively peel off the adsorbed oil film by changing the wettability of the rock surface, providing a new technical idea for enhancing CO2 flooding. However, existing researches mainly focus on single displacement system, and there is no established method for micro-coupling simulation of CO2, oil, water and nanoparticles. The synergistic mechanism of CO2 and nanofluid is not clear. The lack of this key issue makes the optimization of nanofluid and the optimization of CO2 injection parameters lack theoretical support, which seriously restricts the large-scale application of nanofluid enhanced CO2 flooding technology.
[0003] As a pseudo-molecular method, lattice Boltzmann method can solve macroscopic variables based on the distribution function integral of particle distribution function of molecular micro-cluster. Therefore, this method can directly capture the multi-phase interface (such as the miscible interface of CO2 and oil, and the immiscible interface of oil and water) by setting the phase diffusion of limited width and solving the particle distribution function. The Langevin dynamics method can comprehensively consider the Brownian motion of particles, energy dissipation and particle-fluid dynamic interaction at microscale, providing theoretical guidance for micro-simulation of nanoparticles.
[0004] However, at present, the micro-simulation of CO2 and nanofluid flooding in low permeability reservoirs mainly has the following problems:
[0005] (1) The current micro seepage model of multi-phase fluid cannot accurately consider the dynamic change process of CO2 extraction of wall crude oil and the wettability of the wall after extraction;
[0006] (2) There is no description of the micro-mechanical interaction between nanoparticles and multi-phase fluid;
[0007] (3) It is difficult to effectively realize the multi-phase fluid-solid coupling of CO2, oil, water, nanoparticles and rock wall, which cannot meet the urgent needs of accurate and efficient micro-simulation of nanoparticles and multi-phase fluid and characterization of the micro-process of nanofluid enhanced CO2 flooding.
[0008] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a porous medium nanofluid enhanced CO2 flooding micro percolation simulation method, which couples molecular simulation, lattice Boltzmann method and Langevin dynamics, constructs a multiphase fluid-structure coupling micro simulation model for porous media, and reveals the synergistic enhanced oil displacement mechanism of nanofluid and CO2, so as to provide rule understanding and model basis for green, efficient and sustainable development of low permeability reservoirs.

In this embodiment, the rock is located in a sandstone reservoir, and the composition of the sandstone reservoir is mainly quartz, feldspar and rock debris, and the composition monomer is mainly silicon oxide compound, mainly silicon dioxide monomer. The rock model is constructed by using the Amorphous Cell module. The rock model is provided with a silicon dioxide wall surface, which is treated to be oil-wet for simulating the long-term immersion environment of crude oil. The silicon dioxide wall surface in the rock model pore is cut by using the Cleave Surface module, and the silicon atoms not constituting a tetrahedron in the base silicon dioxide wall surface are removed. Then, the silicon dioxide wall surface is saturated with broken bonds by using the Saturate Surface module to obtain the base silicon dioxide wall surface.

[0167] Step 4: coupling the multiphase fluid microseepage model with the nanoparticle micro-dynamics model to construct a nanoparticle-fluid two-way coupling model.
[0168] Since the seepage process random force and viscous resistance act on the nanoparticles and fluid at the same time, based on Newton's third law "the action of force is mutual", the influence of random force and viscous resistance on fluid motion is the key to the coupling of nanoparticles and fluid, which can ensure the momentum and energy conservation of the nanoparticle and fluid system in the model.
[0169] In the Langevin dynamics method, the nanoparticle adopts a Lagrangian grid, that is, the nanoparticle is arranged at a non-integer grid point position; while in the lattice Boltzmann method, the fluid adopts an Eulerian grid, that is, the two-dimensional calculation domain of the fluid is divided into In the coupling process, the nanoparticle at the non-integer grid point cannot obtain the fluid information at this position (i.e. the fluid information at this position is null), so the fluid information of the surrounding integer grid points needs to be obtained first, and the fluid information at the nanoparticle position is solved by interpolation. In order to more accurately obtain the fluid information, a bicubic convolution interpolation method is used to obtain the distance weight of the nanoparticle and the surrounding fluid grid points, and the following formula is obtained:

[0189] Based on the viscous resistance pulse density function and the random force pulse density function, the pulse density function is converted into a force source distribution function, the force source distribution function is introduced into the lattice Boltzmann migration collision equation, a nanoparticle-fluid bidirectional coupling model is constructed, and the influence of the nanoparticle on the fluid is obtained by using the nanoparticle-fluid bidirectional coupling model.
[0190] Specifically, the nanoparticle-fluid bidirectional coupling model is:
[0191] ;
[0192] In the formula, is a force source distribution function, and the unit is ; is a weight coefficient of the fluid particle, is a fluid velocity vector direction, and takes a positive integer value of [1, 9]; is a unit direction vector of fluid particle migration; is a lattice sound speed, and the unit is , .
[0193] In this embodiment, the nanoparticle-fluid bidirectional coupling model is used to realize the bidirectional coupling of nanoparticles and fluid, and the interfacial tension and wettability regulation performance of nanoparticles are comprehensively considered.
[0194] Step 5, using the nanoparticle-fluid bidirectional coupling model for simulation, verifying the influence of nanofluid enhanced CO2 flooding on the recovery rate of heterogeneous porous media.
[0195] In this embodiment, a production scheme of a target well is preset, including a first production scheme and a second production scheme, as shown in Figure 7 , wherein the first production scheme is to continuously inject supercritical CO2 into the target well, and the second production scheme includes three stages, the first stage is to inject 3PV of supercritical CO2 into the target well, the second stage is to inject nanofluid into the target well, and the third stage is to stop injecting nanofluid into the target well and continue to inject supercritical CO2; the crude oil type in the first production scheme and the second production scheme is heavy crude oil, the total displacement fluid injection amount of the first production scheme and the second production scheme is the same, the critical point of the first stage and the second stage in the second production scheme is the gas channeling moment, when gas channeling occurs, the second stage of injecting nanofluid is entered, when the cumulative injection amount of injecting nanofluid reaches 1.2PV, the third stage of continuing to inject supercritical CO2 is entered until 3PV is reached, and then the injection of supercritical CO2 is stopped.
[0196] Using the nanoparticle-fluid bidirectional coupling model, the first production scheme and the second production scheme of the target well are simulated respectively, and the recovery rate curves of the first production scheme and the second production scheme are obtained, and a comparison chart of the recovery rate curves is drawn, as shown in Figure 8As shown, a comparison reveals that the first production scheme uses pure supercritical CO2 flooding for displacement, while the second production scheme uses alternating injections of supercritical CO2, nanofluids, and supercritical CO2. In both schemes, supercritical CO2 displaces oil at a relatively rapid rate in the first stage. Gas channeling occurs when 0.39 PV is injected. The first production scheme, using pure CO2 flooding, displaces crude oil at a slower rate after gas channeling because a large amount of supercritical CO2 flows along the main permeation channel. In contrast, the second production scheme, using pure CO2 flooding, displaces crude oil at a slower rate after gas channeling. The second stage of injecting nanofluid significantly improved the oil recovery rate, mainly by using nanofluid to strip the oil film and promote the deep migration of supercritical CO2 to enhance oil displacement. When supercritical CO2 was injected in the third stage, the slope of the recovery rate curve of the second production scheme was still slightly higher than that of the first production scheme. This is because the nanofluid can act as a pre-slug to inhibit the fingering of CO2 in the third stage. At the same time, supercritical CO2 pushes the nanofluid to the depth of the pore throat, where the nanofluid further strips the oil film. The two work together to maximize the oil displacement efficiency.
[0197] The recovery rate of the first production scheme was 70.61%, while that of the second production scheme was 83.52%. The second production scheme showed a 12.91% improvement in recovery rate compared to the first, demonstrating a significant enhancement effect. Therefore, the second production scheme, which alternately injects supercritical CO2 and nanofluid, is preferred. The synergistic effect of these two methods strengthens oil displacement, thus verifying the enhancing effect of nanofluid on CO2 oil displacement efficiency in heterogeneous porous media.
[0198] Considering that nanofluids are key materials for stripping oil films from well walls, and their concentration has a significant impact on enhancing CO2 flooding, this study further utilized a nanoparticle-fluid bidirectional coupling model to conduct multiple simulations of the target well under the second production scheme. In each simulation, only the concentration of injected nanofluid in the second production scheme was changed, using nanofluid concentration as a variable to analyze the influence mechanism. The nanofluid concentration was successively changed to 0.01wt%, 0.03wt%, 0.06wt%, and 0.10wt%. The recovery curves of the target well under different nanofluid injection concentrations were obtained using the nanoparticle-fluid bidirectional coupling model, as shown below. Figure 9 As shown, by Figure 9It can be known that with the increase of the mass concentration of the nanofluid, the final oil recovery rates corresponding to the mass concentrations of 0wt%, 0.01wt%, 0.03wt%, 0.06wt% and 0.10wt% of the nanofluid are 70.38%, 74.52%, 82.42%, 87.31% and 89.59% respectively. Compared with the second stage of injecting pure water, the oil recovery rate is increased by 19.21% at most, that is, the nanofluid can greatly improve the CO2 oil displacement efficiency, thereby verifying the strengthening effect of the nanofluid concentration on the CO2 oil displacement efficiency in the heterogeneous porous medium.
[0199] It can be seen that the method of the present application verifies that the nanofluid can greatly improve the CO2 oil displacement efficiency, and the way of alternately injecting high-concentration nanofluid, CO2 and high-concentration nanofluid can maximize the oil recovery rate, thereby reducing the waste of nanomaterials and the ineffective circulation of CO2 in the oil production process, and taking into account the oil production effect and carbon sequestration potential, which is conducive to guiding the sustainable development of low-permeability oil reservoirs.
