Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil production engineering, in particular to a displacement device for indoor experiments of gas injection oil production with synchronous core fracture creation. Background Art
[0002] Gas injection is a method of increasing oilfield recovery by injecting gas (natural gas, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, or air) into the oil reservoir through an injection well to replenish and maintain reservoir energy. Common methods include top injection and area injection. The development trend of gas injection is to inject wet gas, liquefied gas, and carbon dioxide. This increases oil displacement power while creating miscible drive or improving oil flow properties, thereby enhancing recovery. Top injection is one of the gas injection methods. During oilfield development, gas is injected into the top of the oil reservoir to continuously replenish the reservoir's energy during production.
[0003] In indoor simulation experiments of gas injection for oil recovery, a high-pressure core displacement system (core experimental device) is usually used. The general core displacement system provides high-precision flow or high-precision constant high-pressure liquid or gas displacement, and is used in conjunction with laboratory instruments or devices that simulate different formation pressure conditions to study core permeability and improve crude oil recovery.
[0004] During simulation experiments, we sometimes need to further modify the core to study various different formation conditions. Common core modification methods include simulating fractures after creating fractures. However, the currently commonly used core displacement system has not been improved for core simulation fracture creation. The core must be removed before fracture creation. Utility Model Content

[0010] Furthermore, the suturing holes are arranged at equal intervals of 3 to 8.

[0018] Furthermore, the sealing knob is threadedly connected to the suturing hole.
[0019] Furthermore, a hook is provided on one side of the bracket, and an air guide tube is placed on the hook.
[0020] Note: After the slits are created, the holes are cleaned by blowing air through the air guide tube to blow out the rock debris in the holes to avoid loose sealing during the subsequent core flooding process.
[0021] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0022] The utility model discloses a displacement device for indoor experiments in gas injection and oil production with synchronous core fracture creation.

[0028] A synchronous core fracture-forming gas injection displacement device for indoor experimental oil production includes a horizontally placed core barrel 1, with a support leg 14 provided on each side of the bottom of the core barrel 1, a sealing cover 11 provided at both ends of the core barrel 1, a simulated injection pipe 2 provided on a front sealing cover 11, and a simulated production pipe 3 provided on a rear sealing cover 11, a confining pressure boosting pipe 4 for simulating formation pressure provided at the top of the middle portion of the core barrel 1, a sealing rubber sleeve 12 provided inside the core barrel 1, a simulated core 5 provided inside the sealing rubber sleeve 12, four equally spaced fracture-forming holes 13 provided on the side wall of the core barrel 1, a bracket 6 provided on one side of the fracture-forming hole 13, and a fracture-forming motor 7 provided on the bracket 6 for docking with the fracture-forming hole 13;
[0029] A supporting plate 61 for carrying the slit-making motor 7 is provided in the middle of the bracket 6, and a plurality of slide grooves 62 are provided on the supporting plate 61. The position of each slide groove 62 corresponds to the position of the slit-making hole 13. A slider 63 is provided at the rear end of the slit-making motor 7. The slider 63 is slidably connected to the slide groove 62. The output end of the front end of the slit-making motor 7 is provided with a slit-making rod 71 for impacting the outer wall of the simulated rock core 5. A limit block 64 is provided at the rear end of the slider 63. When the limit block 64 and the supporting plate 61 abut against each other, the front end of the slit-making rod 71 abuts against the simulated rock core 5. A detachable sealing knob 15 is provided at the slit-making hole 13. A sealing rubber sheet 16 is provided at the front end of the sealing knob 15. When the sealing knob 15 is docked with the slit-making hole 13, the sealing rubber sheet 16 is docked with the reserved hole 17 provided on the sealing rubber sleeve 12. The sealing knob 15 is threadedly connected to the slit-making hole 13.
[0030] A hook is provided on one side of the bracket 6, and an air guide tube 8 is placed on the hook.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] This embodiment differs from embodiment 1 in that:
[0033] The side wall of the core barrel 1 is provided with three slit holes 13 arranged at equal intervals.
[0034] Example 3
[0035] This embodiment differs from embodiment 1 in that:
[0036] The side wall of the core barrel 1 is provided with eight slit holes 13 arranged at equal intervals.
[0037] Working principle:
[0038] The working principle of the present utility model is briefly described below.
[0039] Before conducting the core flooding experiment, the simulated core 5 must be placed in a thermostat at 80°C for 12 hours to fully dry it. The simulated core 5 is then placed in the core barrel 1, centered. Sealing caps 11 are added to both sides, tightened, and each sealing knob 15 is tightened to seal each sealing rubber sheet 16 with each reserved hole 17.
[0040] Then, the confining pressure operation is carried out. Water is injected through the confining pressure booster pipe 4 to form a pressure between the sealing rubber sleeve 12 and the core barrel 1 to simulate the formation pressure. Since the sealing rubber sleeve 12 is provided with a reserved hole 17, the sealing performance is affected and it cannot operate under high pressure. Therefore, a lower pressure is used when applying confining pressure. A manual metering pump is used to pressurize the annular space between the core barrel 1 and the sealing rubber sleeve 12, and after venting, the confining pressure reaches about 7MPa. Let it stand for a while and observe the changes in the confining pressure. If the confining pressure remains unchanged or drops slightly, it can eventually be guaranteed to be around 6MPa.
[0041] Then, the configured simulated formation oil is injected through the simulated injection pipe 2 to saturate the interior of the simulated core 5 with the simulated formation oil. Then, the configured simulated formation water is injected through the simulated injection pipe 2 to simulate the process of water flooding oil. The produced fluid is collected through the simulated production pipe 3 to calculate the remaining oil content in the simulated core after water flooding oil, and the recovery factor is calculated;
[0042] Then, the simulated rock core 5 is fractured, the fracture motor 7 is placed at the position where the fracture needs to be made, the sealing knob 15 is removed, and the slider 63 and the rock slide 62 are slid until the limit block 64 and the rear side of the support plate 61 abut against each other. At this time, the front end of the fracture rod 71 passes through the fracture hole 13 and the reserved hole 17 and abuts against the side wall of the simulated rock core 5. Here, we need to strictly control the distance between the fracture rod 17 and the simulated rock core 5 to avoid causing excessive impact on the rock core, thereby failing to obtain the desired micro-cracks. This step can be achieved by calculating the placement distance of the direct 6;
[0043] Turn on the slit motor 7 to drive the slit rod 71 to continuously impact the side wall of the simulated core 5 to create a slit. Then withdraw the slit rod 71 and use the air pipe 8 to connect to the external air source to blow air to clean the rock debris inside the slit hole 13. Then tighten the sealing knob.
[0044] The water flooding process with the same operation steps was then repeated to calculate the recovery rate after fracture creation, thereby obtaining the effect of fracture creation on improving crude oil recovery in the simulated core 5, which has certain guiding significance for tertiary oil recovery in oil and gas field development.
