[0055] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0056] Method Implementation Examples

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 This invention provides a method for calculating the breakthrough pressure of a gas reservoir converted into an underground helium storage facility, comprising:

[0058] Step 100: Obtain the contact angle between helium and caprock at different reservoir pressures at a set reservoir temperature, and obtain the interfacial tension of water in the helium environment at different reservoir pressures at a set reservoir temperature.

[0059] Electronic equipment acquires the contact angle between helium and caprock at different reservoir pressures at a set reservoir temperature, and the interfacial tension of water in the helium environment at different reservoir pressures at the same set reservoir temperature. Specifically, the contact angle θ between helium and caprock at different reservoir pressures at a set reservoir temperature T can be obtained through indoor experimental testing or literature review. He Furthermore, through indoor experimental testing or literature review, the interfacial tension σ of water in a helium environment under different reservoir pressures at a set reservoir temperature T was obtained. He .

[0060] Step 200: Based on the contact angles between helium and caprock at different reservoir pressures at the set reservoir temperature, construct a first regression function. This first regression function characterizes the relationship between reservoir pressure (independent variable) and contact angle between helium and caprock (dependent variable) at the set reservoir temperature.

[0061] This invention embodiment can establish a contact angle relationship curve between helium and caprock at different reservoir pressures under a set reservoir temperature using a data processing regression calculation method, based on the contact angle between helium and caprock at different reservoir pressures at the set reservoir temperature. Specifically, step 200 involves constructing a first regression function based on the contact angle between helium and caprock at different reservoir pressures under the set reservoir temperature, including:

[0062] Step 210: Using a linear regression algorithm, the first set of regression equations is constructed based on the relationship between the contact angles of helium gas and caprock under different reservoir pressures at the set reservoir temperature.

[0063] Step 220: Solve the first set of regression equations using the least squares method to obtain the model coefficients of the first regression function.

[0064] Step 230: Construct the first regression function based on the model coefficients of the first regression function.

[0065] The first regression function can be expressed by the following formula:

[0066] θ He =β0+β1P+∈; formula (1)

[0067] Where, θ He The contact angle between helium gas and the caprock is represented by , P represents the reservoir pressure, and β0, β1, and ∈ represent the model coefficients.

[0068] Substituting the contact angles between helium and caprock at different reservoir pressures under a set reservoir temperature into the first regression function, a first set of regression equations is constructed. The electronic device then solves this first set of regression equations using the least squares method to obtain the model coefficients of the first regression function, i.e., calculating the specific values ​​of the model coefficients β0, β1, and ∈. Substituting these model coefficients into the formula for the first regression function, the constructed first regression function is obtained, thus establishing the contact angle relationship curves between helium and caprock at different reservoir pressures under a set reservoir temperature. These contact angle relationship curves can be expressed in another way: θ He =θ(P).

[0069] Step 300: Based on the interfacial tension of water in the helium environment under different reservoir pressures at the set reservoir temperature, construct a second regression function. The second regression function characterizes the relationship between the reservoir pressure (independent variable) and the interfacial tension of water in the helium environment (dependent variable) at the set reservoir temperature.

[0070] This invention embodiment can establish a relationship curve of the interfacial tension of water in a helium environment at different reservoir pressures under a set reservoir temperature by using a data processing regression calculation method, based on the interfacial tension of water in the helium environment at different reservoir pressures at a set reservoir temperature. Specifically, step 300 involves constructing a second regression function based on the interfacial tension of water in the helium environment at different reservoir pressures at the set reservoir temperature, including:

[0071] Step 310: Using a linear regression algorithm, a second set of regression equations is constructed based on the relationship between the interfacial tension of water in the helium environment at different reservoir pressures and at the set reservoir temperature.

[0072] Step 320: Solve the second set of regression equations using the least squares method to obtain the model coefficients of the second regression function.

[0073] Step 330: Construct the second regression function based on the model coefficients of the second regression function.

[0074] The second regression function can be expressed by the following formula:

[0075] σ He =β2+β3P+ω; Formula (2)

[0076] Where, σ He The interfacial tension of water in a helium environment is represented by β2, β3, and ω, respectively. P represents the reservoir pressure, and β2, β3, and ω represent the model coefficients.

[0077] Substituting the interfacial tension of water in a helium environment under different reservoir pressures at a set reservoir temperature into the aforementioned second regression function, a system of second regression equations is constructed. The electronic device then solves this system of equations using the least squares method to obtain the model coefficients of the second regression function, specifically the calculated values ​​of model coefficients β2, β3, and ω. Substituting these coefficients into the formula for the second regression function yields the completed second regression function, thus establishing the relationship curve between the interfacial tension of water in a helium environment under different reservoir pressures at a set reservoir temperature. The contact angle relationship curve between helium and caprock at different reservoir pressures at a set reservoir temperature is expressed in another way: σ He =σ(P).

[0078] Step 400: Combine the first regression function, the second regression function, and the natural gas breakthrough pressure formula to calculate the breakthrough pressure for converting a gas reservoir into an underground helium storage facility.

[0079] The embodiments of the present invention can be based on the previous core breakthrough pressure result P of the gas reservoir. o The breakthrough pressure P of the caprock on helium after the gas reservoir was converted into a helium storage reservoir was obtained under different reservoir pressures P and formation temperatures T. HeP .

[0080] The specific conversion method is as follows: Step 400, simultaneously solving the first regression function, the second regression function, and the natural gas breakthrough pressure formula, to calculate the breakthrough pressure for converting a gas reservoir into an underground helium storage facility, including:

[0081] Based on the breakthrough pressure results of the first core sample of the gas reservoir, the contact angle corresponding to the gas reservoir temperature and pressure at which the breakthrough pressure results of the first core sample are obtained, the interfacial tension corresponding to the gas reservoir temperature and pressure at which the breakthrough pressure results of the first core sample are obtained, the first regression function and the second regression function, the breakthrough pressure for converting the gas reservoir into an underground helium storage facility is calculated; wherein, the breakthrough pressure result of the first core sample of the gas reservoir represents any one of the breakthrough pressure results of the core sample of the gas reservoir.

[0082] The breakthrough pressure for converting a gas reservoir into an underground helium storage facility is calculated using the following formula: based on the breakthrough pressure results of the first core sample from the gas reservoir, the contact angle corresponding to the gas reservoir temperature and pressure at which the breakthrough pressure results of the first core sample were obtained, the interfacial tension corresponding to the gas reservoir temperature and pressure at which the breakthrough pressure results of the first core sample were obtained, the first regression function, and the second regression function.

[0083]

[0084] Among them, P HeP This indicates the breakthrough pressure for converting gas reservoirs into underground helium storage facilities; P o This represents the breakthrough pressure result of the first core sample from the gas reservoir; θ o σ represents the contact angle corresponding to the reservoir temperature and pressure at which the breakthrough pressure result of the first core was measured; o This represents the interfacial tension corresponding to the reservoir temperature and pressure at which the breakthrough pressure result of the first core was measured; θ He σ represents the first regression function; He This represents the second regression function.

[0085] For example, in this embodiment of the invention, the breakthrough pressure result of the first core is first obtained, and then the interfacial tension and contact angle of the breakthrough pressure result of the first core are obtained through experimental manuals or literature searches, or through experimental testing, as well as the reservoir temperature and reservoir pressure of the breakthrough pressure result of the first core are obtained. Based on the reservoir temperature and reservoir pressure and the first and second regression functions, the contact angle between helium and the caprock and the interfacial tension of water in the helium environment under the reservoir temperature and reservoir pressure are obtained. Substituting the breakthrough pressure result of the first core, the interfacial tension and contact angle of the breakthrough pressure result of the first core, the contact angle between helium and the caprock and the interfacial tension of water in the helium environment under the reservoir temperature and reservoir pressure into formula (3), the breakthrough pressure for converting the gas reservoir into an underground helium storage facility is obtained.

[0086] This invention incorporates the differences between helium and natural gas into the contact angle and interfacial tension, thus converting the natural gas breakthrough pressure into the helium breakthrough pressure. In determining the breakthrough pressure of the caprock on helium in this embodiment, the invention utilizes existing natural gas breakthrough pressures and establishes a functional relationship between the contact angle and interfacial tension for helium. This relationship is then combined with the natural gas breakthrough pressure equation to obtain the numerical value of the helium breakthrough pressure. The advantage of this invention is that it can successfully convert a single natural gas breakthrough pressure result into helium breakthrough pressures under different temperature and pressure conditions simply by testing or querying interfacial tension and contact angle. This method is simple and accurate, filling a gap in the evaluation method for caprock sealing in underground helium storage.

[0087] Furthermore, this invention is applicable to the evaluation of the caprock sealing performance during the conversion of gas reservoirs into underground helium storage facilities. For safety reasons, the future operating pressure of the helium storage facility will not exceed the original gas reservoir pressure; that is, the operating pressure of the converted underground helium storage facility will be less than or equal to the original gas reservoir pressure. This invention also applies to the evaluation of the caprock's helium sealing performance during small-scale pressurization processes in the conversion of water-bearing underground helium storage facilities, providing detailed and scientific support for the dynamic sealing performance of the caprock for decision-making experts.

[0088] In summary, please refer to Figure 2 This invention first establishes the contact angle relationship curve between helium and the caprock at different reservoir pressures under different reservoir temperatures, and the interfacial tension relationship curve between water and the caprock under helium conditions. Then, it combines the breakthrough pressure formulas for helium and natural gas to obtain the expression for the breakthrough pressure of helium in the underground helium storage facility converted from a gas reservoir under different pressures. Finally, it programs the above calculation method to obtain a method and apparatus for calculating the breakthrough pressure of the underground helium storage facility converted from a gas reservoir under different temperatures and pressures.

[0089] To discuss the feasibility of converting a gas reservoir in the eastern Ordos Basin into an underground helium storage facility, based on the gas reservoir breakthrough pressure test result of 7.62 MPa, the breakthrough pressure calculation method for converting a gas reservoir into an underground helium storage facility according to the embodiment of the present invention is used to predict that the breakthrough pressure after conversion into a helium storage facility will be 3.55 MPa. This is close to the 3.72 MPa obtained by actual helium experimental testing, which can confirm the accuracy of the embodiment of the present invention.
