Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of petroleum exploration technology, specifically to an analytical method for the bound water mineralization of shale clay. Background Technology
[0002] In conventional sandstone, formation water is mostly in a free state, and its mineralization can be chemically analyzed by core sampling or well logging. However, due to the capillary binding of nanopores and the huge specific surface area, shale has extremely low water saturation and the fluid cannot flow, making it impossible to extract sufficient water samples. When using direct methods for detection and calculation, even high-pressure centrifugation can only yield trace amounts of liquid, which is easily affected by phase separation, adsorption, evaporation, and core damage.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0045] This application first prepares a reference shale sample, performs nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) testing and mass detection on the reference shale sample, and obtains the NMR spectrum area and first mass of the reference shale. Then, the reference shale sample is prepared into a saturated shale sample, and NMR testing and mass detection are performed on the saturated shale sample to obtain the NMR spectrum area and second mass of the saturated shale.

Finally, a salt conservation equation for the bound fluid is constructed, and the mineralization of the bound fluid is calculated based on the salt conservation equation and the bound fluid volume.
[0046] Spontaneous percolation relies on the chemical potential gradient formed by the salt concentration difference between the bound water inside the rock sample and the external distilled water, driving the ions in the bound fluid to diffuse backward to the outside. At the same time, the capillary force of the shale nanopores provides additional traction, causing the ions to migrate continuously, and ultimately increasing the conductivity of the external solution. Based on the above principle, the technical solution described in this application constructs a percolation system using a diffusion fluid with lower mineralization. The above percolation system cleverly utilizes the principle of spontaneous percolation diffusion to "transport" a fixed mass of salt in the bound fluid inside the shale to a sufficiently large, easily accessible and measurable diffusion fluid system.
[0047] Meanwhile, the conductivity of the solution is related to factors such as the concentration of electrolytes, the types of ions, and the temperature. Based on the principle of mass conservation, the total mass of salt remains unchanged before and after percolation. Therefore, the mass conservation law of salt can be constructed. By combining the resistance and temperature measurements of the percolation diffusion liquid, the mineralization of its bound fluid can be calculated.
[0048] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution described in this application does not require crushing, keeps the rock sample intact, allows for repeated testing, simplifies the monitoring process of mineralization, and reduces the testing cost;
[0049] Secondly, the volume and concentration of the diffusion fluid are known, and compared with shale samples, the detection conditions are better, enabling rapid and accurate measurement of various parameters, thereby maximizing the detection accuracy of bound fluid mineralization.

[0067] S21. Immerse the benchmark shale sample in a saturated salt solution;
[0068] The benchmark shale sample was immersed in a saturated salt solution; it should be noted that the saturated salt solution refers to a solution in which the salt reaches its maximum solubility at the target temperature and pressure, and no more of the salt can be dissolved; the saturated salt solution includes NaCl solution or KCl solution;
[0069] S22. Vacuum pressurize the reference shale sample and saturated salt solution, maintaining the pressure until the mass of the reference shale sample remains unchanged, to obtain a saturated shale sample; the holding time shall not be less than 48 hours; the pressurization pressure shall be 25-35 MPa.
[0070] The saturated salt solution containing the reference shale sample was placed in a vacuum drying device, and then the reference shale sample was pressurized at a pressure of 25-35 MPa, preferably 30 MPa, for a time of not less than 48 hours.
[0071] During the pressurization process, the mass change of the entire saturated salt solution and the reference shale sample is measured at intervals. When the difference between two adjacent mass measurements is found to be within the allowable range or the difference between several mass measurements is found to be within the allowable range, the pressurization is considered to be over and a saturated shale sample is obtained.

[0077] S3. Centrifuge the saturated shale sample to prepare centrifuged shale sample, and perform nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) testing on the centrifuged shale sample to obtain the NMR spectrum area S of the centrifuged shale sample. c And calculate the bound fluid volume V s ;
[0078] S31. Centrifuge the saturated shale sample and record the volume of the separated liquid; the centrifugation speed is 4000-5000 r / min, the centrifugation pressure is 2-3 MPa, and the centrifugation time is 20-30 h.
[0079] The saturated shale sample obtained in step S2 is placed in a centrifuge and then centrifuged. The centrifugation speed is 4000-5000 r / min, the centrifugation pressure is 2-3 MPa, and the centrifugation time is 20-30 h; preferably, the first centrifugation time is 21.5 h and the second centrifugation time is 26.5 h.
[0080] During centrifugation, the separated liquid is collected continuously, and the liquid volume is recorded.

Repeat the steps of placing the saturated shale sample on a centrifuge for centrifugation and recording the volume of the liquid separated by centrifugation until the volume difference of the liquid separated by two consecutive centrifugations is no greater than 2%, and obtain the centrifuged shale sample.
[0082] The centrifugation process was repeated. When the volume difference between two consecutive centrifugations of the separated liquid was no greater than 2%, the centrifugation was considered complete, and the centrifuged shale sample was obtained.

[0085] S35. Calculate the bound fluid volume V s ;
[0086] The drying process completely evaporates the moisture from the shale sample. Then, a saturated salt solution is injected into the pores of the dried shale sample under pressure to fill the internal pores of the entire shale sample, resulting in a saturated shale sample. The pore fluid volume can be obtained through quality testing.
[0087] The mobile water in the saturated shale sample was then separated by centrifugation, and the remaining water was identified as bound fluid. The volume of the bound fluid could be calculated by comparing the detection parameters of the three nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tests before and after the test.
[0088] Therefore, the expression for calculating the volume of the bound fluid is: V f The volume of pore fluid is expressed as follows: m1 represents the first mass, and m2 represents the second mass. S represents the density of a saturated salt solution. d S represents the area of the baseline shale NMR spectrum. a S represents the area of the NMR spectrum of saturated shale. c This represents the area of the NMR spectrum of centrifuged shale.

The diffusion solution is a solution with a mineralization lower than that of the bound fluid in the centrifuged shale sample.
[0090] The centrifuged shale sample from step S3 is immersed in the diffusion liquid, and the diffusion liquid is heated by a heating device at a set temperature. Then, the entire diffusion liquid is connected to a resistance measuring device, and the resistance change of the diffusion liquid is continuously observed. When the resistance change rate is consistently below 2%, the salt distribution is considered to have reached equilibrium. The resistance and temperature parameters of the diffusion liquid at this time are obtained.
[0091] It should be noted that the diffusion fluid is a solution with a mineralization lower than that of the bound fluid in the centrifuged shale sample; preferably, the diffusion fluid is distilled water or purified water.
[0092] Using distilled water and purified water as diffusion fluids can maximize the concentration difference between them and the bound fluid, thereby improving the efficiency of spontaneous percolation and shortening the experimental time. Furthermore, the spontaneous percolation effect is significant, meaning that the concentration parameters of the diffusion fluid change significantly, which can effectively improve the reliability of data acquisition, eliminate measurement errors of the equipment, and thus improve the accuracy of calculations.
[0093] Secondly, distilled water and purified water are widely available, and their initial mineralization rate can be considered to be 0. This not only reduces costs but also effectively ensures the accuracy of various initial data, which is beneficial to improving calculation accuracy.
[0094] Finally, pure running water and distilled water do not react with other substances during spontaneous osmosis, which can effectively ensure the accuracy of the subsequent salt mass conservation equation.

[0101] The formula for calculating the total salt content by osmosis is as follows: ;
[0102] Since the initial total salt content is equal to the total salt content absorbed, i.e., m i =m f ;
[0103] Therefore, the specific expression for the salt conservation equation is: ;
[0104] S62. Calculate the salt content of the bound fluid according to the salt conservation equation.
[0105] Based on the salt conservation equation obtained in step S61, the formula for calculating the salt content of the bound fluid can be obtained. The expression for the salt content of the bound fluid is as follows: Where C0 and V0 represent the mineralization and volume of the percolation diffusion fluid, respectively; preferably, if distilled water or purified water is used as the diffusion fluid, then C0=0, where C represents the mineralization of the percolation fluid;

To further improve computational efficiency, this application can also construct a quantitative model of bound fluid mineralization-resistance-temperature through multiple sets of parameters. This quantitative model quantifies the quantitative relationship between mineralization, resistance, and temperature, and the mineralization can be predicted through resistance and temperature, which is beneficial to improving computational efficiency.
