The invention relates to the field of oil-gas exploration and development displacement testing, and provides a low-permeability artificial
rock core and a manufacturing method thereof.The manufacturing method comprises the steps of S1,
quartz sand particle screening, S2,
rock core framework particle combination, S3,
rock core framework particle cementing agent preparation, S4, rock core
raw material mixing, S5, high-pressure pressing forming, S6, constant-temperature and constant-pressure reaction, S7, cooling and depressurization, S8, temperature-controlled heating curing and S9, rock core
cutting. The low-permeability artificial rock core with low
porosity and
low permeability is prepared under the combined action of double factors of
temperature and pressure, the heat-resistant stability and strength reliability of the rock core are ensured by adopting a
thermosetting polymer powder cementing agent, and meanwhile, the prepared rock core has point-point and point-surface contact and cementing forms; a micro-pore structure is similar to that of a natural core, so that the problem of insufficient natural core sources in a low-permeability core flow experiment is solved.
