[0004] Second: The technical solution of the existing permeability testing experimental device is that gas enters the core in the holder at a certain pressure and then penetrates the core, and the volume of the penetrated gas is detected. Although this method can meet the needs of detection to a certain extent, it detects the state of the core in a dry condition during detection, but in actual working conditions, the core is generally in a wet state, so there is the problem of low detection accuracy.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new testing device to solve the above problems existing in the existing core permeability testing device. Summary of the Invention

Specific implementation mode

[0021] The loose core permeability testing device includes a core holder 1, a confining pressure pump 2, a booster pump 7, a high-pressure storage tank 6, a valve control group 5, a gas-liquid separation tank 8, a dryer 10 and a flow detector 12 (see the attached Figure 1 ).

[0022] The middle part of the core holder 1 is connected with a confining pressure pump 2 through a pipeline; the core holder 1 and the confining pressure pump 2 are off-the-shelf equipment.

[0023] One end of the core holder 1 is connected with an infiltration tank 4, a valve control group 5, a high-pressure storage tank 6 and a booster pump 7 in sequence through a pipeline and an on-off valve 3 (see the attached Figure 1 ).

[0024] The valve control group 5 includes a high-pressure control valve 13, a high-pressure pressure regulating valve 14, a medium-pressure pressure regulating valve 15 and a low-pressure pressure regulating valve 16; one end of the high-pressure storage tank 6 is connected in parallel with three groups of high-pressure control valves 13; one end of a group of high-pressure control valves 13 is connected in series with a high-pressure pressure regulating valve 14, one end of a group of high-pressure control valves 13 is connected in series with a medium-pressure pressure regulating valve 15, and one end of another group of high-pressure control valves 13 is connected in series with a low-pressure pressure regulating valve 16; one ends of the high-pressure pressure regulating valve 14, the medium-pressure pressure regulating valve 15 and the low-pressure pressure regulating valve 16 are connected with the infiltration tank 4 through pipelines (see the attached Figure 4 ).

[0025] The purpose of setting the valve control group 5 like this is that during operation, the high-pressure pressure regulating valve 14, the medium-pressure pressure regulating valve 15 or the low-pressure pressure regulating valve 16 can be determined according to the experimental conditions, that is, the experimental air pressure of the experimental gas, so that the experimental air pressure can be more accurately controlled through the high-pressure pressure regulating valve 14, the medium-pressure pressure regulating valve 15 or the low-pressure pressure regulating valve 16.

[0026] The inside of the infiltration tank 4 is filled with an infiltration liquid 17 (see the attached Figure 1 and 2); One end of the pipeline at the output end of the valve control group 5 is inserted below the liquid level of the infiltration liquid 17; One end of the pipeline of the core holder 1 is located above the infiltration liquid 17 in the infiltration tank 4. The purpose of setting the infiltration tank 4 in this way is: to enable the experimental gas to enter the interior of the infiltration liquid 17 during operation, be infiltrated into a wet gas, and then enter the interior of the core holder 1. In this way, it can be avoided that the experimental gas is a dry gas, which may adsorb the internal liquid of the core after entering the core holder 1, resulting in inaccurate detection.

[0027] The other end of the core holder 1 is connected to a gas-liquid separation tank 8; One end of the gas-liquid separation tank 8 is connected in parallel with a dryer 10 through an isolation valve 9; One end of the dryer 10 is sequentially connected to a measurement valve 11 and a flow detector 12 (see the attached Figure 1 ).

[0028] The pipeline at the end of the core holder 1 and the pipeline at one end of the isolation valve 9 are both connected to the upper end of the gas-liquid separation tank 8 (see the attached Figure 3 ).

[0029] The purpose of setting the gas-liquid separation tank 8 and the flow detector 12 in this way is: during operation, when the detected gas drives the liquid inside it to output after passing through the core, the liquid will be collected by the gas-liquid separation tank 8, and after the detected gas is dried by the dryer 10, the flow detector 12 will detect the detected gas. In this way, by collecting the liquid data in the gas-liquid separation tank 8 and the data of the flow detector 12, the test work of the gas-phase core permeability can be completed.

[0030] The first end of the core holder 1 is sequentially connected to an intermediate container 18 and a liquid supplement pump 19 through a liquid phase valve (see the attached Figure 1 ). An isolation piston 20 is slidably arranged in the middle of the intermediate container 18 (see the attached Figure 2 ). During operation, after injecting the detected liquid into the upper part of the intermediate container 18, when the liquid supplement pump 19 fills the intermediate container 18 with clear water, the isolation piston 20 will squeeze the detected liquid to make it enter the core holder 1 to complete the test work of the liquid-phase core permeability.

[0031] When the loose core permeability test device conducts the gas-phase core permeability test, first, the core to be detected is infiltrated so that it contains a certain amount of liquid inside, and then it is placed in the core holder 1.

[0032] After the above process is completed, under the action of the booster pump 7, the experimental gas in the high-pressure storage tank 6 passes through the valve control group 5 and then enters the interior of the wetting liquid 17. After being infiltrated into a wet gas, it enters the interior of the core holder 1. When the wet gas enters the interior of the core holder 1 and the detection gas passes through the core, it will drive the output of the liquid inside it. The liquid will be collected by the gas-liquid separation tank 8. After the detection gas is dried by the dryer 10, the flow detector 12 will detect the detection gas. In this way, by collecting the liquid data in the gas-liquid separation tank 8 and the data of the flow detector 12, the test of the gas-phase core permeability can be completed.

[0033] When the loose core permeability test device conducts the liquid-phase core permeability test, first, the core to be detected is infiltrated so that it contains a certain amount of liquid, and then it is placed in the core holder 1.

[0034] After the above process is completed, the detection liquid is injected into the upper part of the intermediate container 18. Subsequently, the replenishing pump 19 replenishes clear water into the intermediate container 18 to make the isolation piston 20 squeeze the detection liquid so that it enters the core holder 1. After the detection liquid enters the core holder 1, it will drive the liquid inside the core to be input into the gas-liquid separation tank 8 together. Subsequently, by collecting the liquid data in the gas-liquid separation tank 8 and the data of the flow detector 12, the test of the liquid-phase core permeability can be completed.

[0035] The loose core permeability test device has a compact structure and ingenious design. It can not only test the gas-phase permeability under the infiltrated state of the core but also test the liquid-phase permeability, thus solving the problems of relatively few detection functions and low detection accuracy existing in the existing core permeability test devices, and is especially suitable for the needs of loose core permeability test.
