Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rock seepage testing technology, and in particular to a multi-scale rock core anisotropic seepage testing apparatus and method. Background Technology
[0002] This section is intended to provide background or context for the embodiments of the invention set forth in the claims. The description herein is not an admission that it is prior art simply because it is included in this section.
[0003] With the increasing depletion of conventional oil and gas development and the advancement of horizontal well and hydraulic fracturing technologies, unconventional oil and gas resources, including shale oil and gas and tight oil and gas, have entered a golden age of rapid development and are becoming an important successor for future oil and gas resource reserve and production increases. Compared with conventional reservoirs, unconventional oil and gas reservoirs exhibit more frequent changes in their composition, stronger formation heterogeneity, and significantly developed microstructures. These reservoir geological characteristics directly affect the effectiveness of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. Among these, microstructures such as bedding and fractures significantly affect the mechanical behavior and permeability characteristics of reservoir rocks, resulting in significant anisotropy of seepage in different directions in unconventional reservoirs, thus impacting the prediction of recoverable reserves and the evaluation of production capacity in unconventional oil and gas wells.
[0004] Currently, permeability evaluation techniques for unconventional reservoir rocks under conventional triaxial conditions are relatively mature. Existing patents and equipment, such as the GCTS rock testing system and the MTS rock testing system, can perform permeability tests on reservoir rocks. However, these systems can only conduct surface-to-surface unidirectional permeation experiments, and they typically use core samples from vertical drilling during permeability measurements, thus primarily measuring permeability perpendicular to bedding planes. But for sedimentary rock reservoirs such as shale or coal, the permeability in the horizontal bedding plane is often several orders of magnitude higher than that perpendicular to bedding planes. Therefore, the test results described above do not represent the true permeability of the reservoir, and direct use of these results would severely underestimate the predicted recoverable reserves.
[0005] To address the problem of anisotropic permeability testing in unconventional reservoirs, researchers have proposed several different solutions. For example, subscale cores containing different types of microstructures are drilled from different directions within a full-diameter core, and permeability tests are performed sequentially. However, since the permeability test results obtained in different directions are not from the same sample, the results cannot reflect the permeability anisotropy of highly heterogeneous rock samples (such as shale).
[0006] In summary, the current permeability testing system based on conventional triaxial testing equipment cannot meet the testing requirements for anisotropic permeability of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs. Summary of the Invention
[0007] This invention also provides a multi-scale core anisotropic seepage testing experimental device to realize permeability testing at different layers and in different directions under conventional triaxial conditions.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, the illustrative embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0030] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a multi-scale core anisotropic seepage testing device and method. This method can determine the permeability characteristics of rocks under different directions and seepage paths based on the microstructural features of the rock during the same experiment, achieving anisotropic evaluation of seepage in the same specimen under conventional triaxial stress.
[0031] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the multi-scale core anisotropic seepage testing experimental device in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the experimental setup includes a core clamping module 3 and a permeability testing module.
[0032] The core clamping module 3 is an integrally manufactured hardware with a hollow center, which is used to clamp the core 2. The size of the center matches the size of the core 2. The core clamping module 3 has fluid transport channels 4 at different vertical layers and in different directions. One end of the fluid transport channel 4 is opened at the internal center of the core clamping module 3, and the other end of the fluid transport channel 4 is opened on the external surface of the core clamping module 3.
[0033] The permeability testing module includes multiple inlet pipes, multiple outlet pipes, and a permeation fluid metering system;
[0034] The multiple seepage inlet pipes: one end is connected to the seepage fluid metering system, and the other end delivers fluid to the core 2 through the fluid transport channel 4;
[0035] The multiple seepage pipes: one end is connected to the core 2 through the fluid transport channel 4, and the other end is connected to the seepage fluid metering system;
[0036] The seepage fluid metering system is used to: deliver fluid to multiple seepage inlet pipes and provide pressure to multiple seepage inlet pipes and multiple seepage outlet pipes; detect the pressure difference data between the seepage inlet pipes and the seepage outlet pipes in real time; and calculate the permeability of the core based on the pressure difference data.
[0037] In one embodiment, the core clamping module 3 is manufactured by 3D printing.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the core clamping module 3 is a cylindrical core clamping device with a cubic hollow center. The size of the cubic hollow center is determined by the size of the core to be tested and is used to accommodate the core specimen. The core clamping module 3 can perform permeability testing on cores of different sizes and shapes, and can meet the needs of full-scale core seepage testing.
[0039] Based on different 3D printing technology solutions, the core clamping module 3 can print different numbers of fluid transport channels inside the cylindrical core clamping device at different layers and directions, according to factors such as seepage system design, experimental objectives, and sample characteristics. It can also connect to an external permeability testing module to ensure that seepage experiments at different layers and directions can be conducted in the same experimental process, thereby improving the flexibility of experimental design.
[0040] In one embodiment, the 3D printing material for the core clamping module 3 is photosensitive resin. In practice, a special tough photosensitive resin material is selected for the 3D printing, capable of withstanding high-pressure experimental conditions.
[0041] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the seepage pad in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the multi-scale core anisotropic seepage test apparatus may also include a permeable pad 14;
[0042] The contact surface between the core clamping module 3 and the core 2 has an inwardly recessed groove for installing the permeation gasket 14.
[0043] The permeation pad 14 is in direct contact with the core 2. Multiple permeation holes and surface seepage paths are arranged inside the pad. The permeation holes pass through the permeation pad 14 and are connected to the fluid transport channel 4 inside the core clamping module 3.
[0044] The permeation gasket 14 has several permeation holes and surface seepage paths arranged inside. The permeation holes run through the permeation gasket 14 and communicate with the fluid transport channel 4 inside the core clamping module 3, ensuring that the test fluid is evenly distributed on the surface of the core 2. Adjacent permeation zones inside the permeation gasket 14 are separated from each other by a certain distance, ensuring that gas will not flow into adjacent permeation zones during unidirectional seepage.
[0045] Figure 3This is a specific example diagram of the multi-scale core anisotropic seepage testing experimental apparatus in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the core clamping module 3 contains fluid transport channels 4, which are integrally processed from high-rigidity 3D printed raw materials, at different layers and in different directions. With the external permeability testing module, seepage experiments at different layers and in different directions can be carried out in the same experimental process. Figure 3 The experimental setup for testing anisotropic seepage in cores at multiple scales includes a core holder 1, a confining pressure pump 6, valves 7, a pressure gauge 10, a differential pressure gauge 11, a venting system 12, and a vacuum system 13. The core holding module 3 is located inside the core holder 1.
[0046] The seepage fluid metering system includes a fluid injection pump 5, an upstream (downstream) gas cylinder 9, and a differential pressure gauge 11.
[0047] Each seepage inlet pipe: one end is connected to the fluid injection pump 5 via an upstream gas cylinder, and the other end delivers fluid to the core 2 via the fluid transport channel 4;
[0048] Each seepage pipe: one end is connected to the core 2 through the fluid transport channel 4, and the other end is connected to the seepage fluid metering system through the downstream gas cylinder;
[0049] The upstream gas cylinder and the downstream gas cylinder are connected by a differential pressure gauge 11, which is used to detect the pressure difference between the upstream gas cylinder and the downstream gas cylinder in real time.
[0050] The fluid injection pump 5 provides pressure to the upstream gas cylinder through the seepage inlet pipe and to the downstream gas cylinder through the seepage outlet pipe.
[0051] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 The permeability testing module includes multiple layers and numerous seepage inlet and outlet pipes in the X and Y directions (horizontal direction), as well as a seepage fluid metering system. The seepage inlet pipes are installed upstream of the X and Y direction seepage fluid channels into the fluid transport channels 4 pre-installed inside the core clamping module 3, and connected to several seepage holes via permeation gaskets 14. The seepage outlet pipes are connected downstream of the X and Y direction seepage fluid transport channels 4 in the same manner. The Z-direction (vertical direction) seepage pipeline setup adopts a conventional triaxial permeability testing system, which will not be discussed further here.
[0052] The seepage fluid metering system includes a fluid injection pump 5, upstream and downstream gas cylinders, and several control valves and pressure gauges 11. The fluid injection pump 5 provides pressure to the upstream (downstream) gas cylinder through pipelines, and the pressure supply process is controlled by the control valves. The test fluid in the upstream gas cylinder passes through a multi-port pneumatic valve 8, enters the core clamping module 3 in the sample chamber through the seepage inlet pipe, flows through the sample, and then flows into the downstream gas cylinder through the seepage outlet pipe and the multi-port pneumatic valve 8. Each gas cylinder is connected to a high-precision pressure gauge for real-time monitoring of the pressure in the upstream and downstream gas cylinders. The upstream and downstream gas cylinders are connected by a differential pressure gauge for real-time detection of the pressure difference between the upstream and downstream gas cylinders. The experiment is conducted under constant temperature conditions. During the seepage experiment, the core clamping module 3 and the internal sample are controlled by vertical axial pressure and horizontal confining pressure through a confining pressure pump 6.
[0053] Preferably, each inlet pipe and each outlet pipe is equipped with a valve that can be controlled individually.
[0054] Preferably, all seepage inlet and outlet pipes at the same stratum are connected to the same pipeline at the bottom of the core clamping module, and can be individually connected to upstream (downstream) gas cylinders through multi-port pneumatic valve 8.
[0055] Preferably, depending on the permeability characteristics of the sample to be tested, the number of upstream and downstream gas cylinders in the seepage fluid metering system can be set to multiple, each gas cylinder is equipped with a valve, and each can be opened or closed independently. For low-permeability / ultra-low-permeability core samples, the volume of a single upstream or downstream gas cylinder should not be too large.
[0056] Based on a multi-scale core anisotropic seepage testing experimental apparatus, this invention also provides a multi-scale core anisotropic seepage testing method. Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating the multi-scale core anisotropic flow testing method in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:
[0057] Step 401: Receive seepage test path parameters; the seepage test path parameters are used to start the specified seepage inlet pipe and realize the permeability measurement in different directions inside the core.
[0058] Step 402: Obtain pressure difference data between the seepage inlet pipe and the seepage outlet pipe at multiple time points;
[0059] Step 403: Determine the core permeability based on the pressure difference data of the seepage inlet and outlet pipes at multiple time points.
[0060] When implementing this, you can follow these steps:
[0061] Step 1: Rock Sample Preparation: Using wire cutting, cubic samples of different sizes are cut from the core sample of different diameters. The surfaces are polished, and the dimensional processing error of the samples should be less than 0.1 mm to ensure the accuracy of the seepage test results. The core sample microstructure identification process utilizes imaging techniques such as X-ray CT to identify the microstructural features inside the core, including the spatial distribution characteristics of bedding and fractures. (Refer to...) Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram showing the micro-CT imaging results and internal fracture development of the core sample in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 The left image shows the micro-CT imaging results of the core sample to be tested in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 The right side shows the spatial distribution of fracture channels inside the core sample in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0062] Step 2: Install the rock sample: Embed the rock sample prepared in Step 1 into the 3D-printed core clamping module in preparation for seepage testing.
[0063] Step 3: Set experimental conditions: Set the internal confining pressure and axial pressure of the sample chamber; set the seepage experimental path according to the spatial distribution characteristics of the microstructure inside the sample in Step 1.
[0064] Step 4: Start the experiment: Use a vacuum device to bring the sample and experimental system into a vacuum state; apply confining pressure and axial pressure to the core and core clamping device according to the experimental conditions in Step 3; determine the required number of upstream and downstream gas cylinders based on the seepage characteristics of the sample to be tested, and open the corresponding valves; inject gas into the upstream (downstream) gas cylinders using a fluid injection pump until the upstream (downstream) gas cylinders reach the predetermined pressure; open the control valves of the designated upstream and downstream seepage inlet and outlet pipes according to the seepage experimental path set in Step 3; open the pneumatic multi-port control valves between the upstream (downstream) gas cylinders and the seepage inlet and outlet pipes to allow the gas to move in the preset seepage inlet and outlet pipes; monitor and record the pressure changes and pressure difference between the upstream and downstream gas cylinders in real time.
[0065] Step 5: Experimental data analysis. Based on the upstream and downstream pressure change data collected in Step 4, calculate the permeability of the sample under the specified seepage path.
[0066] In one embodiment, the seepage test path parameters are used to determine the permeability of one of the following: surface-to-surface seepage path, layer-to-layer seepage path, and point-to-point seepage path.
[0067] The surface-to-surface seepage path means that: in the horizontal direction, each seepage inlet pipe and each seepage outlet pipe of all layers are started simultaneously, and the seepage experiment is started in the vertical direction;
[0068] The layer-to-layer seepage path means that all seepage inlet pipes and all seepage outlet pipes on a single layer are activated simultaneously in the horizontal direction.
[0069] The point-to-point seepage path means that any one or more seepage inlet pipes and seepage outlet pipes are started at any layer.
[0070] Preferably, based on the microstructural characteristics of the sample, the test fluid in the test method of this embodiment of the invention can be subjected to a seepage experiment according to the following seepage path:
[0071] ① Triaxial seepage test (surface-to-surface): By simultaneously opening the individual control valves of all seepage inlet and outlet pipes in the X (Y) direction and their pneumatic multi-port control valves connected to the upstream and downstream gas cylinders, the permeability of the core can be measured sequentially in the X, Y, and Z directions under conventional triaxial conditions and in the same experimental process.
[0072] ② Horizontal seepage experiment (layer-to-layer): By simultaneously opening the individual control valves of all seepage inlet and outlet pipes at a certain layer along the X (Y) direction, as well as the pneumatic multi-port control valves connecting that layer to the upstream and downstream gas cylinders, it is possible to measure the permeability of the core sample in the X (Y) direction under conventional triaxial conditions and during the same experimental process. This seepage path is suitable for core samples with well-developed horizontal microstructures (such as stratification).
[0073] ③ Horizontal seepage experiment (point-to-point): By opening individual control valves for one or more seepage inlet and outlet pipes at a specific stratum along the X (Y) direction, as well as pneumatic multi-port control valves connecting the stratum to which the seepage inlet and outlet pipes belong to the upstream and downstream gas cylinders, permeability measurements can be performed on any two or more points in the X (Y) direction of the core sample under conventional triaxial conditions during the same experimental process. This seepage path is suitable for core samples with well-developed fractures, and different seepage paths can be set according to the orientation and dip angle of different fractures.
[0074] During implementation, a suitable seepage path is set based on the heterogeneity of the fracture network development inside the core.
[0075] To further clarify and implement the method, in one embodiment, determining the core permeability based on pressure difference data between the seepage inlet and outlet pipes at multiple time points may include:
[0076] The permeability of the core sample under a specified seepage path is obtained by fitting the following formula:
[0077]
[0078] Among them, P u -P d P represents the pressure difference between upstream and downstream gas cylinders at multiple time points during the test. u,0 -P d,0 To test the initial pressure difference between the upstream and downstream gas cylinders, P u P dThese represent the upstream and downstream cylinder pressures at multiple time points during the test, P. u,0 P d,0 These represent the upstream and downstream gas cylinder pressures at the initial moment of the test, respectively; μ is the viscosity of the test fluid; t is time; k is permeability; L is the sample length; A is the cross-sectional area of the core sample; and V is the cross-sectional area of the core sample. μ and V d These represent the volumes of the upstream and downstream gas cylinders, respectively.
[0079] The embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages over the prior art: (1) The present invention can test the triaxial permeability of the same specimen under conventional triaxial conditions, and can effectively evaluate the anisotropy of core seepage; (2) The seepage test performed in the embodiments of the present invention can be completed in the same experimental process without disassembling the specimen; (3) The seepage test performed in the embodiments of the present invention can be performed on cubic cores of different sizes; (4) The seepage test performed in the embodiments of the present invention can set different fluid seepage paths (surface-to-surface, layer-to-layer, point-to-point), which can fully consider the development characteristics of the microstructure inside the core.
