TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil and gas resource evaluation, and particularly relates to a method for evaluating cross-scale multi-component deep shale gas mobility. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the advancement of technology and the growing demand for clean energy, shale gas, as a clean and low-carbon energy source, its development helps to alleviate the shortage of conventional natural gas resources, optimize energy structure, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote green energy transformation. However, the geological conditions of deep shale gas are complex, and the understanding of its occurrence mechanism and production situation is unclear, making it difficult to develop a reasonable and efficient development plan, resulting in low production efficiency and poor economic performance.
[0003] The occurrence of deep shale gas is controlled by multiple factors such as organic matter thermal maturity, reservoir properties and tectonic movement. Part of the shale gas is adsorbed by the wall surface to become adsorbed state, and its adsorption capacity is closely related to the abundance of reservoir organic matter, pore structure and the change of physical state caused by formation pressure. The adsorption capacity and characteristics of different components also have significant differences. Free gas fills in shale matrix pores, natural fractures and artificial fractures, and its density is controlled by pore size, temperature and pressure. Due to the characteristics of nanoscale pores, low permeability and rich organic matter in deep shale reservoirs, the proportion of adsorbed gas is usually significantly higher than that in conventional reservoirs.
[0004] Currently, the evaluation of shale gas mobility in deep shale nanoscale pores mainly has the following problems:
[0005] (1) There is a lack of understanding of the mobility of different components in shale gas in nanoscale pores, and there is no method that can directly evaluate the mobility of different components of shale gas according to the pore type and size of shale, and it is impossible to determine the difference in occurrence in nanoscale pores before and after shale gas exploitation.
[0006] (2) With the extension of shale gas development to higher pressure and more complex reservoir conditions, traditional experimental measurement methods can provide some reference data, but they have many limitations.
[0007] For example, adsorption and desorption experiments usually use crushed rock samples, which destroy the natural pore structure and fracture network in shale, and cannot completely reproduce the real occurrence state in the formation; isothermal adsorption experiments can only measure the excess adsorption amount, and cannot determine the specific volume of adsorbed and free phases, and cannot distinguish between components in shale gas. At the same time, the non-homogeneous characterization of conventional experimental measurement results is insufficient, and the distribution of shale organic matter is millimeter-scale heterogeneous, but the sample quality of conventional experiments is mostly tens of grams, which can only reflect the macroscopic average response and cannot distinguish local adsorption hotspots.
[0008] (3) Considering the difference between the occurrence characteristics of shale gas and the shallow reservoir, most laboratory equipment cannot restore the temperature and pressure conditions of deep shale, and cannot restore the real formation environment of deep shale gas, resulting in large deviation between the experimental results and the actual situation of the reservoir.
[0009] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a cross-scale multi-component deep shale gas mobility evaluation method based on molecular simulation method, to restore the adsorption and phase behavior of each component in the shale pore network, accurately characterize the occurrence characteristics of different components of deep shale gas, obtain the dynamic change rule of the content of each component of shale gas and the mobility of each component under different pores and different pressures, and realize accurate evaluation of the mobility of deep shale gas.

[0094] The specific embodiments of the present application are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: EMBODIMENT
[0095] The present application provides an evaluation method for cross-scale multi-component deep shale gas mobility, as shown in the figure, comprising the following steps: Figure 1
[0096] Step 1, based on molecular simulation software such as Materials Studio software and LAMMPS molecular simulator, a multi-component deep shale gas pore occurrence model is constructed, the multi-component deep shale gas pore occurrence model is composed of a deep shale nanometer pore molecular model and a shale gas fluid model, wherein the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model is provided with a pore wall model, including an organic pore wall established based on a CVFF force field and an inorganic mineral wall established based on a CLAYFF force field, the shale gas fluid model is established based on an OPLS force field and is assigned in the pore wall model.
[0097] Further, in the molecular simulation software, according to the reservoir characteristics of the deep shale reservoir to be evaluated, kerogen molecular units and inorganic mineral units are selected, the kerogen molecules and inorganic mineral unit cells are imported or drawn by using the Materials Studio software, after the kerogen molecules and inorganic mineral unit cells are obtained, the AC module is called to add the CVFF force field label and charge information to the kerogen molecules, the kerogen molecular model is constructed, the Bulid module is called to cut the inorganic mineral unit cell to obtain the inorganic pore wall, the CLAYFF force field label and charge information are added to the inorganic mineral unit cell in combination with the atom types at different positions in the inorganic mineral unit cell, the inorganic mineral unit cell model is constructed, and the kerogen molecular model and the inorganic mineral unit cell model are stored in a car format file, which is processed into a data format file by the msi2lmp software package and then exported, to obtain the kerogen molecular model file and the inorganic mineral unit cell model file.
[0098] The Moltemplate program is called to obtain the force field and charge information of the kerogen molecular model, the molar mass of the kerogen molecule, and the size and density of the preset organic pore wall surface are combined, the PACKMOL software package is called to randomly place multiple kerogen molecular models in the deep shale nanometer pore space, and after obtaining the pdb file of the kerogen matrix, the Moltemplate program is called to add corresponding CVFF force field tags and charge information to each atom in the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model, and exported as a data format recognizable by the LAMMPS molecular simulator.
[0099] According to the size of the preset organic pore wall surface, virtual walls are created in the x, y and z directions in the LAMMPS molecular simulator to compress the deep shale nanometer pore space and form the organic pore wall surface. During the compression process, the kerogen matrix becomes smooth under the compression of the smooth wall, so after removing the virtual wall, the organic pore wall surface needs to be energy minimized to increase the roughness of the organic pore wall surface, and the organic pore wall surface model with rough wall surface is obtained. The data format file of the inorganic mineral cell model is imported into the OVITO software for replication and cell expansion, and the inorganic mineral wall surface model is constructed and exported. According to the CLAYFF force field tag of the inorganic mineral cell model, the ClayFF force field parameter information of the inorganic mineral cell is copied to the data format file of the inorganic mineral wall surface model, and the CLAYFF force field parameters of the inorganic mineral wall surface model are set. Finally, the organic pore wall surface model and the inorganic mineral wall surface model are imported into the Lammps molecular simulator to construct the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model.
[0100] A plurality of component shale gas molecular information is obtained from the LigPargen website database to obtain the model coordinate file of the plurality of component shale gas molecules, determine the shale gas molecular model, call the PACKMOL software to obtain the pdb file of the single component shale gas fluid and the plurality of component shale gas fluid, call the Materials Studio software to add corresponding OPLS-AA force field tags and charge information to each atom in the shale gas molecular model, and convert it into a data format recognizable by the LAMMPS molecular simulator. Set the OPLS-AA force field parameters of the shale gas molecular model to complete the construction of the shale gas fluid model.
[0101] The deep shale nanometer pore molecular model and the shale gas fluid model are combined to obtain a multi-component deep shale gas pore occurrence model, and an atom plate for controlling pressure is set. In this embodiment, fixed atom walls are arranged in parallel on the left and right sides of the pore wall model, and movable atom walls are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the pore wall model. The fixed atom walls and the movable atom walls are used to control the pore pressure inside the multi-component deep shale gas pore occurrence model.
[0102] According to the pore pressure of the reservoir and the area of the atomic plate, the force required by the atomic plate is calculated, and then divided by the number of atoms on the atomic plate to obtain the force size required by a single atom, which is used to control the shale pore pressure.
[0103] Specifically, the force of a unit atom on the atomic plate is:
[0104] ;
[0105] In the formula, is the force of a unit atom, and the unit is ; is the system pressure, and the unit is ; is the area of the atomic plate, and the unit is ; is the number of atoms in the atomic plate.
[0106] The influence of the force field and charge information in the multi-component deep shale gas pore occurrence model on the interaction between atoms is:
[0107] ;
[0108] ;
[0109] ;
[0110] ;

[0112] Step 2, set the force field information to describe the interaction rules between atoms, preprocess the shale gas fluid model based on the energy minimization algorithm, and obtain a relatively stable initial configuration. At this time, the shale gas fluid model is stably assigned to the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model. Set the simulation temperature, change the stress of the atomic plate, apply various pressures to the shale gas fluid model, simulate the density change curve of each component in the shale gas fluid model under different pressure conditions, and divide the adsorption zone and free zone of each component of the shale gas fluid in the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model.
[0113] Further, in the multi-component deep shale gas pore occurrence model, the action of short-range van der Waals force and Coulomb force is considered, the cutoff radius is set, and in order to solve the problem of low calculation efficiency of long-range Coulomb interaction, the PPPM algorithm is used to determine the Coulomb interaction force in the embodiment. Since the most basic molecular force field parameters can only represent the interaction between atoms of the same type, the arithmetic mixing rule is used to approximate the interaction between atoms of different types. The model boundary of the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model is set as a periodic boundary, and the force of the atoms in the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model is set to zero, which is used to maintain the position stability of the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model.
[0114] The shale gas fluid model is preprocessed using an energy minimization algorithm. By adjusting atomic positions to ensure no overlapping molecular structures, a stable initial configuration of the shale gas fluid is obtained. The model is then placed within an NVT canonical ensemble, and the Nosé-Hoover algorithm is used to control its temperature, ensuring a realistic representation of the temperature environment of deep shale reservoirs. The simulation step size is set to 1 fs, and simulation temperature and pressure are defined. Atomic forces under different pressures are calculated to achieve equilibrium simulation at corresponding pressures. Based on the output atomic plate trajectories, the simulation continues until the system pressure stabilizes. The atomic plates are then fixed, and the shale gas occurrence simulation continues, with real-time calculation of the shale gas density in the z-direction. When the shale gas density no longer changes, molecular trajectory and density distribution data are acquired and processed.
[0115] The `dump` command is used to output the molecular trajectory file of the shale gas fluid model, determining the density distribution of each component in the shale gas fluid model. The pore space is divided into multiple regions in the z-direction at 5nm intervals, and the density of each component of the shale gas fluid in each region is calculated. A simulation calculation is performed every 0.2ns, and the density of each component in the shale gas fluid within the past 0.2ns is averaged to obtain the density distribution curve of each component in the shale gas fluid as a function of time and spatial location throughout the simulation. Based on the density change curve of each component of the shale gas fluid, the region with stable density change is divided into the free region, and the remaining regions are divided into the adsorption region, thus determining the adsorption and free regions of each component of the shale gas fluid in the deep shale nanoporous molecular model.

[0127] wherein, is the potential well depth between atom and atom is the potential well depth between two atoms is the potential well depth between two atoms is the collision volume between atom and atom is the collision volume between two atoms is the collision volume between two atoms
[0128] Further, the NVT ensemble is used to keep the number of atoms and the simulation space unchanged, the temperature is controlled by the Nosé-Hoover algorithm in the prior art, the key is to construct an "extended Hamiltonian" containing a heat bath variable, and the temperature control is realized by solving the corresponding motion equation, and relevant instructions are called to divide the simulation area to calculate the density of each component in the shale gas fluid.
[0129] Step 3, according to the adsorption zone and free zone divided by each component of the shale gas fluid, the shale gas adsorption layer thickness at the organic pore wall surface is obtained, the free density and adsorption density of the shale gas fluid and each component thereof at the organic pore wall surface under different pressures at the current temperature condition are determined respectively, the adsorption density data set and the free density data set of the shale gas are obtained, based on the Langmuir isothermal adsorption formula, data fitting is carried out respectively for the adsorption density data set and the free density data set, the density calculation functions of the adsorption zone and the free zone are determined, and the shale gas mobility evaluation formula at the molecular scale is established.

[0161] Example 2
[0162] In order to verify the application effect of the cross-scale multi-component deep shale gas mobility evaluation method proposed by the method of the present application, the cross-scale multi-component deep shale gas mobility evaluation method described in Example 1 is used, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0163] Step 1, use molecular simulation software to construct a multi-component deep shale gas pore occurrence model.

Figure 2 According to the molar mass of the kerogen molecules and the size and density of the preset organic pore wall surface, the PACKMOL software package is called to randomly place 15 kerogen molecule models in a deep shale nanometer pore space with a size of 30
[0165] After obtaining the pdb file of the kerogen matrix, the Moltemplate program is called to add corresponding CVFF force field tags and charge information to each atom in the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model, and export it as a data format recognizable by the LAMMPS molecular simulator. According to the preset size of the organic pore wall surface, a virtual wall is created in the LAMMPS molecular simulator in the x, y, and z directions to compress the deep shale nanometer pore space, as shown in FIG. 2, forming an organic pore wall surface with a density of 1.3
[0166] After the compression process, the kerogen matrix becomes smooth under the compression of the smooth wall, so the organic pore wall surface obtained by removing the virtual wall is simulated using the NVT ensemble for annealing, and the FIRE algorithm in the prior art is used for energy minimization to increase the roughness of the organic pore wall surface, thereby obtaining an organic pore wall surface model with rough wall surface. Figure 3 After the compression process, the kerogen matrix becomes smooth under the compression of the smooth wall, so the organic pore wall surface obtained by removing the virtual wall is simulated using the NVT ensemble for annealing, and the FIRE algorithm in the prior art is used for energy minimization to increase the roughness of the organic pore wall surface, thereby obtaining an organic pore wall surface model with rough wall surface.
[0167] Call LigPargen website database to obtain multi-component shale gas molecule information, and in this embodiment, single-component shale gas fluid and multi-component shale gas fluid are taken as examples, wherein the composition of the single-component shale gas fluid is pure methane, and the multi-component shale gas fluid is composed of methane and propane with a mass fraction of 50%.

[0169] Combine the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model with the shale gas fluid model to obtain a multi-component deep shale gas pore occurrence model, and set fixed atom walls on the left and right sides of the pore wall model and movable atom walls on the upper and lower sides of the pore wall model, and use the fixed atom walls and the movable atom walls to control the pore pressure inside the multi-component deep shale gas pore occurrence model.
[0170] Step 2, set the force field information to describe the interaction rules between atoms, preprocess the shale gas fluid model based on the energy minimization algorithm to obtain a relatively stable initial configuration, at this time the shale gas fluid model is stably stored in the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model, set the simulation temperature, change the stress condition of the atom plate, apply various pressures to the shale gas fluid model, simulate to obtain the density change curve of each component in the shale gas fluid model under different pressure conditions, and divide the adsorption zone and the free zone of each component of the shale gas fluid in the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model.
[0171] In this embodiment, in the multi-component deep shale gas pore occurrence model, the short-range van der Waals force and the Coulomb force are considered simultaneously, the cutoff radius is set, and the PPPM algorithm is used to determine the Coulomb interaction force in order to solve the problem of low calculation efficiency of long-range Coulomb interaction. Since the basic molecular force field parameters can only represent the interaction between atoms of the same type, the arithmetic mixing rule is used to approximate the interaction between atoms of different types. The boundary of the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model is set as a periodic boundary, and the force on the atoms in the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model is set to zero, which is used to maintain the position stability of the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model.
[0172] The shale gas fluid model is preprocessed based on the energy minimization algorithm, the atomic positions are used to make the molecular structure in the shale gas fluid model without overlapping, and after obtaining the stable initial configuration of the shale gas fluid, the shale gas fluid model is placed in an NVT canonical ensemble, the Nosé-Hoover algorithm is used to control the temperature of the shale gas fluid model, which is used to satisfy the real reduction of the temperature environment of the deep shale reservoir, the simulation step is set to 1 fs and the simulation temperature is set to 393 K, the simulation pressure is set to 10 MPa, 20 MPa, 30 MPa, 40 MPa, 50 MPa, 60 MPa and 70 MPa, respectively, the atomic force under different pressures is calculated, and the balance simulation under the corresponding pressure is realized. According to the output atomic plate trajectory, the atomic plate is fixed and the shale gas occurrence simulation is continued after the system pressure tends to be stable, the density of shale gas in the z direction is calculated in real time, and when the simulation runs to the shale gas density no longer changes, the molecular trajectory and density distribution data are obtained and processed.
[0173] The dump command is called to output the molecular trajectory file of the shale gas fluid model, the density distribution of each component in the shale gas fluid model is determined, the pore space is divided into multiple regions in the z direction at an interval of 5 nm, the density of each component of the shale gas fluid in each region is calculated, the simulation calculation is performed once every 0.2 ns, and the shale gas fluid component density obtained by a total of 200,000 simulation calculations in the past 0.2 ns is averaged to obtain the density distribution curve of each component of the shale gas fluid in the entire simulation process with respect to time and spatial position (i.e., along the Z-axis direction). According to the density change curve of each component of the shale gas fluid, the density change stable region is divided into a free zone, and the remaining region is divided into an adsorption zone, so as to determine the adsorption zone and the free zone of each component of the shale gas fluid in the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model.
[0174] Figure 4 The density distribution curve of the single-component shale gas fluid simulated by the present application is shown in the following figure, Figure 5 The density distribution curve of the multi-component shale gas fluid simulated by the present application is shown in the following figure.Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the components in shale gas fluid have the characteristics of multi-layer adsorption at the organic pore wall surface, according to which the free state and adsorption state of shale gas are distinguished, that is, the smooth density change region is divided into a free zone, and the remaining region with higher density than the free zone is divided into an adsorption zone, so as to determine the adsorption zone and free zone of each component in the shale gas fluid in the deep shale nanopore molecular model. Moreover, for both single-component shale gas fluid and multi-component shale gas fluid, the adsorption layer thickness of methane is 1.18 nm and does not change with pressure, and the adsorption layer thickness of propane is 1.5 nm, thereby providing convenience for the calculation of the volume of the adsorption zone and the free zone.
[0175] Step 3: According to the adsorption zone and free zone of each component in shale gas fluid, the shale gas adsorption layer thickness at the organic pore wall surface is obtained, and the free density and adsorption density of shale gas fluid and each component thereof at the organic pore wall surface under different pressures at the current temperature condition are determined, as shown in Table 1. In Table 1, Nos. 1-8 are the adsorption gas density and free gas density of single-component shale gas fluid, and Nos. 9-15 are the adsorption gas density and free gas density of multi-component shale gas fluid.
[0176] Table 1: Adsorption gas density and free gas density under different pressure conditions at a temperature of 393 K
[0177]
[0178] According to the free density and adsorption density of shale gas fluid and each component thereof at the organic pore wall surface under different pressures, the adsorption density data set and the free density data set of shale gas are constructed, and data fitting is performed on the adsorption density data set and the free density data set based on the Langmuir isothermal adsorption formula, and the fitting coefficients are shown in Table 2, thereby obtaining the shale gas density calculation functions in the adsorption zone and the free zone for single-component shale gas fluid and multi-component shale gas fluid.
[0179] Table 2: Fitting coefficients of shale gas density calculation functions
[0180]
[0181] Thus, the shale gas density calculation functions in the adsorption zone and the free zone are determined, and the density fitting curves of single-component shale gas fluid and multi-component shale gas fluid in the adsorption zone and the free zone are obtained, as shown in Table 3. Figure 6 After comparison, it is found that the density fitting curves and the simulation data are well fitted, and the fitting accuracy of both is higher than 0.99, which shows that the fitting formula is appropriate in the current temperature and pressure range, and can accurately represent the shale gas component density values in the adsorption zone and the free zone in the organic pore under the change of pressure.
[0182] At the same time, because the phase behavior of propane dominates the change of adsorption layer density during the pressure change, the influence of methane on the adsorption layer of propane is different at different pressures. Under the combined influence of phase behavior, multi-component competitive adsorption and wall adsorption, the density curve of propane is more complex. The optimal model function of Origin software is used to fully consider the above influences to select the best function model for curve fitting, and the corrected propane density fitting curve is obtained, as shown in Figure 7 .
[0183] Based on the adsorption zone and free zone shale gas density calculation function, the shale gas mobility evaluation formula is established at the molecular scale, and the following is obtained:
[0184]
[0185]
[0186]
[0187]
[0188] In the formula, is the degree of shale gas mobility; is the adsorbed state mass of shale gas in deep shale pores, with the unit of ; is the free state mass of shale gas per unit length, with the unit of ; is the adsorbed state mass of shale gas under the initial formation pressure, with the unit of ; is the free state mass of shale gas under the initial formation pressure, with the unit of ; is the density of shale gas in the adsorption zone under the current pore pressure, with the unit of ; is the density of shale gas in the free zone under the current pore pressure, with the unit of ; is the volume of the adsorption zone; is the volume of the free zone.
[0189] Specifically, taking the pipeline pore as an example, the internal pore of the deep shale nanometer pore molecular model is set as a pipeline pore in the form of a cylinder, and the shale gas mobility evaluation formula of the multi-component deep shale gas pore occurrence model at the molecular scale is obtained as follows:
[0190]
[0191] In the formula, is the pore radius, with the unit of ; is the thickness of the shale gas adsorption layer at the organic pore wall, with the unit of .
[0192] In this embodiment, the initial formation pressure is set to 70 MPa and the temperature to 393 K. The mobility of methane within pores of different radii as pressure decreases is calculated using the above formula. Figure 8 As shown, by Figure 8 It can be seen that under the condition of fully depleted extraction, the larger the pore size, the higher the utilization of shale gas. When the deep shale reservoir reaches a certain pore pressure, the difference in methane utilization within different pore radii has reached 10%. Based on this figure and the actual situation, the extraction scheme can be planned to achieve the best recovery rate.
[0193] Step 4: The shale gas mobility evaluation formula is applied to the pore scale. Core scanning is performed on deep shale reservoir cores collected in the field to obtain SEM scan images. After noise reduction processing of the SEM scan images, threshold segmentation is performed. During threshold segmentation, regions with a voxel value of 0 represent pores, and regions with a voxel value of 1 represent rock. After obtaining the binarized image, the Markov chain Monte Carlo method is used to reconstruct the 3D digital core, resulting in a 200×200×200 voxel 3D digital core. The pore network structure model is extracted using the open-source package OpenPNM and the existing SNOW algorithm based on the watershed method. The pore and throat information from the 3D digital core is then incorporated into the pore network model. Figure 9 As shown.
[0194] Step 5: Perform structural parameter analysis on the pore network model to obtain the size distribution of throats and pores in the pore network model, such as... Figures 10-12 As shown, the volumes of the adsorption and free zones in the deep shale nanoporous molecular model are calculated by combining the thickness of the shale gas adsorption layer at the organic pore wall.
[0195] In this embodiment, the calculated adsorption volume of methane is: The volume of the free region is The volume of the propane adsorption zone is The volume of the free region is .
[0196] Step 6: For the deep shale reservoir to be evaluated in this embodiment, the initial formation pressure is set to 70 MPa and the formation temperature to 393 K. Using the shale gas mobility evaluation formula, combined with the volume of the adsorption and free zones and the shale gas density calculation function, the mobility of single-component and multi-component shale gas fluids within the deep shale reservoir is analyzed, such as... Figure 13 As shown.
[0197] By comparing the exploitation of single-component shale gas fluid and multi-component shale gas fluid in deep shale reservoirs, it is found that because the core pore size of the deep shale reservoir in the embodiment is generally higher than 10 nm, the exploitation of total shale gas is more close to free gas, and the mobility of propane is strong in the initial stage of pressure reduction, which is mainly due to that the density of free propane is more sensitive to pressure change at high pressure, and the expansion of propane is faster when the pressure is reduced, and the mobility of adsorbed propane is very poor in the early stage of pressure reduction, and until the late stage of pressure reduction, a large amount of adsorbed propane is desorbed and can be exploited.
[0198] In summary, the method of the present application can accurately evaluate the mobility of multi-component deep shale gas, obtain the ideal exploitation degree of multi-component deep shale gas, and effectively evaluate the influence of various factors on the mobility of different components of deep shale gas in the depletion exploitation, thereby providing a basis for guiding the exploration and development of deep shale gas.
[0199] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present application, and the present application is not limited to the above examples, and the changes, modifications, additions or replacements made by the person skilled in the art within the essential scope of the present application should also belong to the protection scope of the present application.
