[0001] Related applications

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411698467.8, filed on November 25, 2024, and incorporates the entire contents of the aforementioned patent application as part of this disclosure. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of rock physics technology, and in particular to a device and method for measuring the resistance and acoustic waves of carbon dioxide-displaced rock cores. Background Technology

[0004] CO2 capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS / CCS) technology has become an important option for ensuring energy security. Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) sequestration in saline aquifers is a technology that captures industrially emitted carbon dioxide and injects it under high pressure into underground saline aquifers. This technology can achieve permanent underground sequestration of carbon dioxide and mitigate the greenhouse effect. During the injection process, the carbon dioxide exists in a supercritical state, with a density close to that of a liquid and a viscosity similar to that of a gas, and a diffusion coefficient nearly a hundred times that of a liquid. Due to its unique physical properties, its density changes are sensitive, and dynamic density correction is complex. In actual sequestration, predicting the distribution range, effectiveness, and sequestration volume of supercritical carbon dioxide injected into saline aquifers is difficult. There is a lack of basic and supporting experimental methods and equipment for well logging interpretation of key parameters such as CO2 saturation. Therefore, conducting rock physics experiments on supercritical carbon dioxide displacement combined with acoustic and electrical parameters, while accurately measuring carbon dioxide saturation, is particularly crucial.

[0005] Currently, research on supercritical carbon dioxide saturation in related technologies is mainly achieved through the following methods:

[0006] One method involves recreating the formation environment in a reactor, enabling the testing of P-wave and S-wave velocities in rock samples with different CO2 and water saturation levels, providing experimental evidence for monitoring the geological sequestration and migration of carbon dioxide. Another method involves accurately characterizing the complex porous media structure and rock conductivity in sandstone reservoirs to obtain the changes in saturated pore size of each phase fluid and supercritical carbon dioxide saturation, thus improving the monitoring accuracy of supercritical carbon dioxide saturation in sandstone reservoirs. A third method involves studying and measuring the relative permeability of supercritical carbon dioxide and saline water in the core.

[0007] However, existing technologies can only be used as a starting point in actual CO2 displacement experiments to study quantitative evaluation methods of supercritical carbon dioxide saturation and related content from the perspective of single parameters such as acoustic transit time or electrical properties. If more test parameters or research perspectives are added to the relevant technologies, it is likely to destroy the temperature and pressure conditions of supercritical CO2 and the in-situ formation simulation environment, resulting in unreliable measurement data and large test errors.

[0081] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, the illustrative embodiments and their descriptions are used to explain this disclosure, but are not intended to limit this disclosure. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0083] Core holder 1 is used to hold the core to be measured;

[0084] Displacement device 2 is connected to core holder 1 through first pipe 5, and is used to displace core using formation water and supercritical carbon dioxide according to control signal from host computer 4.

[0085] The measuring device 3 is connected to the core holder 1 through the second pipe 6, and is used to measure the instantaneous water displacement, resistance and acoustic signal of the core during the displacement process.

[0086] The host computer 4 is connected to the displacement device 2 and the measuring device 3 to determine the internal state of the core. When the internal state of the core is saturated and stable, a control signal is sent to the displacement device 2 to switch the displacement device 2 from formation water to supercritical carbon dioxide to displace the core. The host computer 4 also determines whether the instantaneous water displacement meets the preset carbon dioxide saturation condition. When the instantaneous water displacement meets the carbon dioxide saturation condition, the corresponding resistance and acoustic signals are obtained.

[0087] Specifically, the core holder 1 is used to securely hold the core to be measured, ensuring that the core does not shift or deform during the entire displacement experiment. The displacement device 2 first uses formation water to displace the core, and then switches to supercritical carbon dioxide to displace the core according to the control signal from the host computer 4. The measuring device 3 has high sensitivity, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the measurement data. The host computer 4, as the core control unit of the resistivity and acoustic wave measurement device for carbon dioxide displacement of the core, is responsible for coordinating the operation of the displacement device 2 and the measuring device 3, ensuring the flexibility and repeatability of the experimental operation. It adjusts the operation of the displacement device 2 by sending control signals and receives real-time displaced water volume, resistance, and acoustic wave signals from the measuring device 3. When the real-time displaced water volume meets the preset carbon dioxide saturation condition, the host computer 4 records and analyzes the corresponding resistance and acoustic wave signals.

The formation water displacement device 21 utilizes formation water to displace the core sample, ensuring stability and efficiency during the displacement process. During displacement, the rock sample is first evacuated to remove air, and then pressurized formation water is injected to ensure the pores inside the core are completely filled with liquid. The purpose of this process is to achieve complete saturation of the core sample.

[0093] The supercritical carbon dioxide displacement device 22 is used to prepare supercritical carbon dioxide and use supercritical carbon dioxide to displace the core.

[0094] Specifically, the supercritical carbon dioxide displacement device 22 is responsible for preparing and supplying supercritical carbon dioxide to achieve core displacement operations and ensure the safety and stability of the supercritical operation process. By controlling the temperature and pressure of the supercritical carbon dioxide to reach a supercritical state, its superior solubility and flow characteristics are utilized to effectively displace the core.

[0095] The host computer 4 is connected to the gas-liquid displacement switching valve 23, which is used to control the switching between the gas-liquid displacement switching valve 23 and the formation water displacement device 21 and the supercritical carbon dioxide displacement device 22.

[0096] Specifically, the gas-liquid displacement switching valve 23, as a key component connecting the core holder 1, the formation water displacement device 21, and the supercritical carbon dioxide displacement device 22, features rapid switching and strong sealing performance, preventing impact on the core. This valve, controlled by the host computer 4, enables rapid switching between formation water and supercritical carbon dioxide to meet displacement requirements under different experimental conditions. The host computer 4 is connected to the gas-liquid displacement switching valve 23 and is responsible for real-time monitoring and control of the entire displacement process. By sending control signals, the host computer 4 can flexibly adjust the switching of the displacement medium to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment. In some embodiments, the host computer 4 can be an industrial computer or an embedded system, or other computer system with data acquisition and control functions.

[0101] Specifically, the data processing unit 42 comprehensively analyzes the data from the data acquisition unit 41 to determine the stability of the core's internal state. Using a pre-defined algorithm, this unit compares the actual weight with the dry sample weight, and, considering the trends in water injection and drainage, assesses whether the core's moisture distribution and physical properties have reached a stable state. The judgment result is output to the signal transmission module via an interface to facilitate subsequent control operations.

[0102] The signal sending unit 43 is used to send a control signal to the gas-liquid displacement switching valve 23 when the judgment result is that the internal state of the rock core is saturated and stable, so as to switch from the formation water displacement device 21 to the supercritical carbon dioxide displacement device 22.

[0103] Specifically, after receiving the judgment result from the data processing unit 42, the signal transmitting unit 43 is responsible for sending control signals. When the judgment result indicates that the internal state of the core is stable, the signal transmitting unit 43 sends a command to the gas-liquid displacement switching valve 23, prompting it to quickly switch from the formation water displacement device 21 to the supercritical carbon dioxide displacement device 22. The automated design of this process improves the response speed and ensures the accuracy and efficiency of the displacement operation.

[0128] Theoretical water displacement calculation module 426 is used to calculate the theoretical water displacement of the core based on physical parameters and preset carbon dioxide saturation.

[0129] Specifically, during the displacement experiment, the pore volume inside the core is fixed, and the state and phase of the water within the pores are stable. Therefore, the volume of water displaced from the core pores by supercritical carbon dioxide is also the volume of the core pores occupied by carbon dioxide, from which the carbon dioxide saturation can be calculated. The theoretical water displacement calculation module 426 calculates the theoretical water displacement from the core using the following formula:

[0130] In the formula, V 孔 It is the pore volume of the rock core, S CO2 It is the saturation level of supercritical carbon dioxide, ρ. 水 This refers to the density of formation water. The theoretical water displacement calculation module 426 first uses the following formula to calculate the total volume V of the core. 总:

[0131] In the formula, d is the diameter of the core and h is the length of the core.

[0132] The total volume V of the core was obtained. 总 Subsequently, the theoretical water displacement calculation module 426 calculates the pore volume V of the core using the following formula. 孔 V 孔 =V 总 ×Porosity(3)

[0134] The second judgment module 427 is used to determine whether the core has reached carbon dioxide saturation based on the real-time water discharge volume, theoretical water discharge volume, influent weight and effluent weight. When the core reaches carbon dioxide saturation, it sends a data acquisition request to the data acquisition unit 41 so that the data acquisition unit 41 can acquire the corresponding resistance and acoustic signals.

[0135] Specifically, the data acquisition unit 41 is also used to obtain the real-time displaced water volume. As shown in Figure 7, when supercritical carbon dioxide displaces saturated core, it is easy to break through to the end of the core, causing G... 入 With G 出 The water is first displaced, and then gradually displaced from other pores within the core.

And determine G 即时 Does it meet the corresponding theoretical water displacement volume? To determine whether the core sample has reached the preset carbon dioxide saturation level.

[0138] When the core sample reaches a preset carbon dioxide saturation level, the second judgment module 427 sends a data acquisition request to the data acquisition unit 41 so that the data acquisition unit 41 can acquire and record the corresponding resistance and acoustic signals. The above process is repeated for each saturation point to obtain the corresponding resistance and acoustic signals.

[0156] This high-precision electronic balance is used to weigh the amount of water discharged in real time. It has micro-measurement capabilities with an accuracy down to the milligram level. The balance connects to a host computer (4) to transmit the results of each weighing. The electronic balance also features an automatic calibration function to ensure high accuracy during long-term operation.

[0157] The acoustic acquisition device 33, used to acquire acoustic signals during the core displacement process, consists of a signal transmitter and an acoustic oscilloscope. The signal transmitter emits high-frequency ultrasonic waves into the core to ensure penetration and a corresponding acoustic response to the core's internal structure. The transmitter is equipped with adjustment functions to modify the acoustic frequency and intensity to suit different core characteristics. The acoustic oscilloscope receives the acoustic signals reflected or transmitted from the core and converts them into visualized waveforms. The oscilloscope has high sensitivity, enabling it to capture minute changes in the acoustic signal in real time.

These parts work closely together to achieve efficient carbon dioxide processing. The carbon dioxide tank 221 stores high-purity carbon dioxide gas, ensuring safety and pressure resistance.

[0170] The cryogenic circulator 222 is connected to the carbon dioxide tank 221 and is used to liquefy the carbon dioxide in the carbon dioxide tank 221.

[0171] Specifically, the cryogenic circulator 222 is connected to the carbon dioxide tank 221 and is responsible for cooling and liquefying gaseous carbon dioxide. The cryogenic circulator 222 works by circulating a coolant to lower the gaseous carbon dioxide to its liquefaction temperature, ensuring that the carbon dioxide is stored in a liquid state for further processing. The cryogenic circulator 222 has a highly efficient heat exchange capacity to accelerate the liquefaction process and improve overall efficiency.

[0172] The liquid constant pressure pump 223 is connected to the cryogenic circulator 222 and is used to pressurize the liquefied carbon dioxide to a preset pressure.

The measuring device is connected to the core holder via a second pipe and is used to measure the instantaneous water displacement, resistivity, and acoustic wave signals of the core sample during the displacement process. The host computer is connected to the displacement device and the measuring device to determine the internal state of the core sample. When the internal state of the core sample is saturated... When the conditions are stable, a control signal is sent to the displacement device to switch from formation water to supercritical carbon dioxide to displace the core. The system then determines whether the instantaneous water displacement meets the preset carbon dioxide saturation condition. When the instantaneous water displacement meets the carbon dioxide saturation condition, the corresponding resistance and acoustic signals are obtained. This allows for precise measurement of parameters such as resistance and acoustic waves while conducting rock displacement experiments under the simulated in-situ formation environment and supercritical CO2 temperature and pressure conditions. This provides support for quantitatively calculating the supercritical carbon dioxide saturation of actual formations using acoustic and resistivity logging. During the displacement process, only two phases of fluid—supercritical carbon dioxide and formation water—exist within the rock pores. Utilizing the negligible compressibility, unchanged state, and stable phase of formation water, the saturation of supercritical carbon dioxide within the rock pores can be inferred, providing a basis for the quantitative relationship between resistivity, acoustic velocity data, and CO2 saturation.
