Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tight sandstone measurement technology, specifically a device for measuring the geostress sensitivity coefficient of tight sandstone oil and gas prediction. Background Technology

[0002] Tight sandstone is a common reservoir rock. The geostress sensitivity coefficient of tight sandstone generally refers to the degree of influence of geostress on the physical properties of the rock. Since changes in geostress affect the storage and flow of oil and gas, the geostress sensitivity coefficient is very important in oil and gas exploration and development. Measuring the geostress sensitivity coefficient can help us understand the impact of geostress on the migration and accumulation of oil and gas, and help us predict the distribution and enrichment patterns of oil and gas reservoirs.

[0003] When measuring the geostress sensitivity coefficient of tight sandstone, pressure is usually applied to the rock mass first, and the strain distribution of the rock core is captured in real time through distributed optical fibers to monitor the strain. However, tight sandstone is a porous medium containing pores. The fluid pressure in these pores can also affect the mechanical behavior of the rock. If the pore pressure cannot be controlled during the measurement, it may affect the accuracy of the geostress sensitivity coefficient measurement results. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for measuring the geostress sensitivity coefficient of tight sandstone oil and gas prediction, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

A measuring platform is provided at the bottom of the measuring device body, and a tight sandstone sample is placed at the center of the top of the measuring platform. Pre-set grooves are uniformly formed on the top surface of the tight sandstone sample, and distributed optical fibers are embedded inside each of the grooves. Pressure-applying components are provided on both sides of the measuring platform of the tight sandstone sample, and an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe are respectively provided on one side of each pressure-applying component. Pressure sensors are installed on both the inlet and outlet pipes.

A Coriolis mass flow meter is provided at one end of the outlet pipe, and a liquid outlet channel is uniformly formed inside the pressure-applying component. The ends of the inlet and outlet pipes near the pressure-applying component are uniformly connected to the outlet channel via connecting pipes. A controller is provided on the top of one side of the measuring device body.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides an embodiment of a device for measuring the geostress sensitivity coefficient of tight sandstone oil and gas prediction, comprising a measuring device body 1, a tight sandstone sample 9, a pressure application component 13 and a liquid outlet channel 18. A measuring platform 10 is provided at the bottom of the measuring device body 1, and a tight sandstone sample 9 is placed at the center of the top of the measuring platform 10.

[0024] Pressure-applying components 13 are provided on both sides of the measuring platform 10 of the dense sandstone sample 9. A two-way screw 15 is provided at the top inside the measuring platform 10, and movable sleeves 16 are sleeved on both ends of the two-way screw 15. The top of the movable sleeves 16 are connected to the pressure-applying components 13.

[0025] A drive motor 11 is fixed to the bottom of one side of the main body 1 of the measuring device, and the output end of the drive motor 11 is connected to the bidirectional lead screw 15.

[0026] The dense sandstone sample 9 to be measured is placed on the measuring table 10. The bidirectional lead screw 15 is rotated by the drive motor 11, so that the movable sleeves 16 are brought closer to each other, thereby driving the pressure application component 13 to apply pressure to the dense sandstone sample 9.

[0027] The bottom of the measuring table 10 is provided with a guide rod 17, and the bottom of the movable sleeve 16 is connected to the guide rod 17 through the guide sleeve to guide and limit the movable sleeve 16.

[0028] The top surface of the dense sandstone sample 9 is uniformly provided with preset grooves 20, and each preset groove 20 is embedded with a distributed optical fiber 21. After the dense sandstone sample 9 is subjected to force, the strain distribution of the dense sandstone sample 9 is captured in real time through the distributed optical fiber 21, thereby performing strain monitoring.

[0029] The pressure-applying component 13 is provided with an inlet pipe 7 and an outlet pipe 12 on one side. Both the inlet pipe 7 and the outlet pipe 12 are equipped with pressure sensors 8. The main body 1 of the measuring device is equipped with a booster pump 6, which is connected to the inlet pipe 7 via a high-pressure pipeline. One end of the outlet pipe 12 is equipped with a Coriolis mass flow meter 26.

[0030] Before applying pressure to the dense sandstone sample 9 using the pressure-applying component 13, fluid is injected into the dense sandstone sample 9 to increase the pore pressure;

[0031] Furthermore, the interior of the pressure-applying component 13 is uniformly provided with liquid outlet channels 18, and the end of the liquid inlet pipe 7 and the liquid outlet pipe 12 near the pressure-applying component 13 is uniformly connected to the liquid outlet channels 18 through the connecting pipe 19.

[0032] The fluid enters the outlet channel 18 through the connecting pipe 19 and is dispersed in the dense sandstone sample 9. This can increase the diffusion channels of the fluid in the dense sandstone sample 9, allowing the fluid to be distributed to various parts of the dense sandstone sample 9 more quickly, which helps to improve the efficiency of experiments or tests.

[0033] A controller 14 is installed on the top of one side of the main body 1 of the measuring device, and a Coriolis mass flow meter 26 is installed on the outlet pipe 12. By monitoring the flow rate change, the controller 14 dynamically adjusts the output of the booster pump 6 to gradually reach the target pore pressure value. Pressure sensors 8 are installed on the inlet pipe 7 and the outlet pipe 12 respectively. During the process of increasing the pore pressure, the pore pressure is monitored in real time to ensure the accuracy and safety of the adjustment. By simulating and controlling the pore pressure, the real stress state of the underground reservoir can be simulated, making the measurement results more representative and accurate.

[0034] Heating elements 5 are provided on both sides inside the main body 1 of the measuring device, and a temperature sensor 4 is provided on one side inside the main body 1 of the measuring device. The heating elements 5 generate heat after being powered on, and the temperature sensor 4 is used to control the temperature to simulate the high temperature conditions in the strata. This helps to understand the geostress sensitivity characteristics of dense sandstone in high temperature environment more accurately.

[0035] A purification box 2 is installed at the top of the main body 1 of the measuring device, and a blower 3 is installed at the top of the purification box 2.

[0036] An intercepting net 22 is installed on the main body 1 of the measuring device outside the blower 3, and an air distribution grid 25 is installed at the bottom of the purification box 2. When the blower 3 is running, the external airflow is distributed inside the main body 1 of the measuring device through the air distribution grid 25, which can be used to promote the circulation of gas inside the main body 1 of the measuring device to ensure the uniformity and stability of the measurement environment.

[0037] A filter screen 23 is installed in the center of the purification box 2. When external airflow enters, it is filtered and purified through the filter screen 23 to keep the measurement environment free from pollution. Both ends of the filter screen 23 are equipped with slide rails 24. The two sides inside the purification box 2 are provided with slide grooves that match the slide rails 24, which facilitates the replacement of the filter screen 23.

[0038] The specific models and specifications of the blower 3, temperature sensor 4, heating element 5, booster pump 6, pressure sensor 8, drive motor 11, and controller 14 need to be determined by selection calculation based on the specifications and parameters of the device. The selection calculation method is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail.

[0039] Working Principle: In this embodiment, the dense sandstone sample 9 to be measured is placed on the measuring platform 10. The drive motor 11 drives the bidirectional lead screw 15 to rotate, causing the movable sleeves 16 to move closer together. This drives the pressure applying component 13 to apply pressure to the dense sandstone sample 9. Pre-set grooves 20 are uniformly opened on the surface of the dense sandstone sample 9. Distributed optical fibers 21 are installed in the grooves 20 to capture the strain distribution of the dense sandstone sample 9 in real time, thereby performing strain monitoring. The booster pump 6 is located outside the main body 1 of the measuring device and is connected to the inlet pipe 7 through a high-pressure pipeline. Before the pressure applying pressure to the dense sandstone sample 9 by the pressure applying component 13, fluid is injected into the dense sandstone sample 9 to increase the pore pressure. The fluid enters the outlet channel 18 through the connecting pipe 19 and is dispersed in the dense sandstone sample 9, which can increase the diffusion channels of the fluid in the dense sandstone sample 9, allowing the fluid to be distributed to all parts of the dense sandstone sample 9 more quickly. The system helps improve the efficiency of experiments or tests. A Coriolis mass flow meter 26 is installed on the outlet pipe 12. By monitoring the flow rate change, the controller 14 dynamically adjusts the output of the booster pump 6 to gradually reach the target pore pressure value. Pressure sensors 8 are installed on the inlet pipe 7 and the outlet pipe 12 respectively. During the process of increasing the pore pressure, the pore pressure is monitored in real time to ensure the accuracy and safety of the adjustment. By simulating and controlling the pore pressure, the real stress state of the underground reservoir can be simulated, making the measurement results more representative and accurate. In addition, the heating element 5 generates heat after being powered on to simulate the high temperature conditions in the strata. This helps to more accurately understand the geostress sensitivity characteristics of tight sandstone under high temperature environment. At the same time, the operation of the blower 3 can be used to promote the circulation of gas in the main body 1 of the measuring device to ensure the uniformity and stability of the measurement environment. When the external airflow enters, it is filtered and purified through the filter screen 23 to keep the measurement environment free from pollution.
