Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development, and is a laboratory evaluation method and apparatus for the sweep efficiency and burial volume of carbon dioxide flooding. Background Technology
[0002] CO2 miscible flooding is a crucial method for major oilfields to significantly enhance oil recovery and respond to the national "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" initiative. However, the proximity and over-coverage of supercritical CO2 in oil reservoirs lead to rapid gas breakthroughs in wells, significantly limiting the effectiveness of CO2 miscible flooding in enhancing oil recovery. The sweep efficiency of CO2 flooding refers to the extent to which injected CO2 sweeps through the oil reservoir; that is, the percentage of the total oil reservoir volume (or area) washed by CO2. Visualizing the sweep range and sweep efficiency is of great guiding significance for oilfield management of CO2 channeling and calculation of reservoir storage potential.
[0003] Chinese patent document CN106991223A discloses a method and apparatus for determining the sweep efficiency of water channels in multi-layered oil reservoirs. The method includes: acquiring the physical property parameters of each reservoir within the work area; obtaining the water drive front saturation of each reservoir based on the physical property parameters; determining the water drive injection rate of each reservoir; and determining the water drive front movement velocity, breakthrough time, and sweep efficiency of each reservoir based on the water drive injection rate and water drive front saturation. Chinese patent document CN112561111A discloses a method and apparatus for predicting the water drive sweep efficiency of an oilfield. The method includes: acquiring the water cut of a target oilfield; determining the water drive sweep efficiency of the target oilfield based on the water cut of the target oilfield and a pre-established water drive sweep efficiency prediction model; the water drive sweep efficiency prediction model is pre-established based on historical oilfield production data. Both methods rely on mathematical prediction models based on production characteristics such as bound water saturation, injection volume, and water cut to predict water drive sweep efficiency, but they cannot quantitatively analyze intra-layer contradictions within the oil reservoir. Chinese patent document CN114577837A discloses a device and experimental method for evaluating the effects of carbon dioxide burial and oil displacement on formation pore throat structure and permeability. This method primarily uses T2 spectrum distribution and frequency-area difference to quantitatively evaluate the impact of CO2-water-rock interactions on pore throat and permeability, and to calibrate the degree of reservoir permeability damage. However, it also cannot directly analyze intra-layer contradictions within the oil reservoir. Summary of the Invention

A second back pressure regulating pipeline 20 is fixedly connected between the outlet of the back pressure nitrogen storage tank 5 and the second inlet of the back pressure valve 30.
[0060] Example 9: As Figure 1 As shown, as an optimization of the above embodiment, the laboratory evaluation device for carbon dioxide flooding sweep efficiency and burial volume also includes an insulated box, and the core holder 1 is installed inside the insulated box.
[0061] Example 10: As Figure 1 As shown, as an optimization of the above embodiment, the laboratory evaluation device for the sweep efficiency and burial volume of carbon dioxide flooding also includes a confining pressure pump 21 and a confining pressure nitrogen storage tank 22. A confining pressure boosting pipeline 23 is fixedly connected between the confining pressure pump 21 and the confining pressure nitrogen storage tank 22.

[0062] As required, the laboratory evaluation device for CO2 flooded oil sweep efficiency and stock volume also includes multiple three-way valves. The first booster line 10 and the second booster line 11 are connected via the first three-way valve 26; the first booster line 10 and the third booster line 12 are connected via the second three-way valve 27; the first injection line 13 and the second injection line 14 are connected via the third three-way valve 28; and the first injection line 13 and the third injection line 15 are connected via the fourth three-way valve 29.

Furthermore, instruments to ensure the normal operation of the CO2 flooded oil sweep efficiency and stock volume laboratory evaluation device are fixedly installed on each pipeline.
[0063] Example 11: The specific implementation process of the laboratory evaluation method for the sweep efficiency and stock volume of carbon dioxide flooding is as follows:
[0064] The first step is to prepare formation crude oil (V0, mL) by adding associated gas and degassed crude oil to crude oil sampler 2, in accordance with the national standard GB / T26981-2020 "Methods for Analysis of Fluid Properties in Oil and Gas Reservoirs".
[0065] The second step is to measure the length (H, cm), diameter (D, cm), and porosity (POR, %) of the core sample.
[0066] The third step involves connecting the laboratory evaluation device for carbon dioxide flooding sweep efficiency and burial volume, raising the constant temperature chamber to the reservoir formation temperature (T1, ℃), and establishing the bound water saturation of the core sample using formation water according to the field data.
[0067] The fourth step involves using a booster pump to slowly inject the prepared formation crude oil into the core sample while maintaining its temperature and pressure, and recording the volume of formation crude oil in the core sample (V1, mL). This volume is equal to the compression volume of the booster pump.
[0068] The fifth step is to use the booster pump to set the injection pressure and back pressure to conduct a laboratory carbon dioxide displacement experiment, and record the back pressure (P1, MPa) at the same time, based on the on-site production data.
[0069] Step 6: After the displacement experiment, quickly remove the core sample. To prevent CO2 diffusion from the core sample, wrap the core sample with plastic wrap. Then slice the core sample along the core sample, with a slice thickness of no more than 0.8 mm. Place the core slice on the experimental table and evenly drop bromothymol blue solution onto the core slice. Observe the yellow area in the plane of the core slice with a microscope and draw the boundary of the yellow area.
[0070] Step 7: Establish a rectangular coordinate system with the center point of the core sample as the origin of the coordinate axis, the length direction of the core sample as the X-axis, and the diameter direction of the core sample as the Y-axis. Plot the yellow boundary lines recorded in each core slice in this coordinate system. The degree of connection of the yellow boundary lines represents the degree of pore throat connection of the core sample.
[0071] Step 8: Integrate the boundary lines within the coordinate axes according to Equation 2 to obtain the CO2 displacement sweep volume V2, and then calculate the CO2 displacement sweep coefficient according to Equation 1; at the same time, calculate the CO2 stockpile according to the equation of state (Equation 3).
[0072] Example 12: The experimental procedure of the laboratory evaluation device for the sweep efficiency and stock volume of carbon dioxide flooding is as follows:
[0073] The first step is to prepare core samples and record information such as the length, diameter, and porosity of the core samples. Place the core samples in core holder 1. According to the national standard GB / T26981-2020 "Methods for Fluid Property Analysis of Oil and Gas Reservoirs", add associated gas and degassed crude oil to crude oil sampler 2 to prepare formation crude oil (V0, mL).
[0074] The second step is to connect the evaluation device and set the temperature of the constant temperature chamber to the reservoir formation temperature (T1, ℃), which is the temperature of the reservoir simulated in the displacement experiment.
[0075] The third step is to adjust the first three-way valve 26, the third three-way valve 28, and the fourth three-way valve 29 to connect the pipeline between the first booster pump 8, the formation water sampler 3, and the core holder 1. Through the first booster pump 8, the formation water in the formation water sampler 3 is slowly injected into the core sample to establish the bound water saturation.
[0076] Fourth step, adjust the first three-way valve 26 and the third three-way valve 28 to connect the pipeline between the first booster pump 8, the crude oil sampler 2 and the core holder 1. The first booster pump 8 injects the formation crude oil in the crude oil sampler 2 into the core sample while keeping it warm and pressurized, slowly saturating the core sample, and recording the volume of formation crude oil in the core sample (V1, mL). V1 is equal to the compression volume of the first booster pump 8.
[0077] Fifth step: Open the valves on the confining pressure boosting pipeline 23, the first confining pressure pipeline 24, and the second confining pressure pipeline 25, and use the confining pressure pump 21 to inject nitrogen from the confining pressure nitrogen storage tank 22 into the core holder 1 to control the confining pressure in the displacement experiment.
[0078] Step 6: Open the valves on the first back pressure regulating pipeline 19 and the second back pressure regulating pipeline 20. Use the second booster pump 9 to inject nitrogen from the back pressure nitrogen storage tank 5 into the back pressure valve to control the back pressure (P1, MPa). Adjust the pipeline connecting the second three-way valve 27, the fourth three-way valve 29, the first booster pump 8, the carbon dioxide storage tank 4, and the core holder 1. Use the first booster pump 8 to inject supercritical CO2 from the carbon dioxide storage tank 4 into the core sample to carry out the carbon dioxide displacement experiment. During the experiment, the displaced fluid is separated by the gas-liquid two-phase separator 6. The liquid part is measured by the gas-liquid two-phase separator 6, and the gas part is measured by the gas meter 7. When no fluid flows into the gas-liquid two-phase separator 6, the displacement experiment ends.
[0079] Step 7: After the displacement experiment is completed, shut down the experimental system and slice, develop color, and calculate the CO2 flooding sweep efficiency and CO2 storage amount according to Example 12 above.
[0080] The parameter values obtained during the experiment can be used to calculate other parameters in the carbon dioxide displacement experiment, guiding actual production.
[0081] This invention visualizes the detection results of carbon dioxide flowing within core samples after carbon dioxide flooding. Then, by using core slicing, it observes the carbon dioxide sweep range in different directions of the core sample and determines the degree of pore-throat connectivity. Finally, it calculates the most accurate CO2 flooding sweep efficiency and CO2 storage, maximizing the reproduction of the actual on-site production process. The invention is well-designed and highly practical, providing important technical guidance for on-site control of gas channeling in carbon dioxide flooding.
[0082] In summary, this invention provides a laboratory evaluation method for the sweep efficiency and burial volume of carbon dioxide flooding. This method closely aligns with the actual situation of field production, the calculation method for the sweep efficiency and burial volume of carbon dioxide flooding is reliable, and the experimental process is simple and easy to operate, which is of great significance for oil reservoir development.
[0083] The above technical features constitute various embodiments of the present invention, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Unnecessary technical features can be added or removed according to actual needs to meet the needs of different situations.
