Abstract:
the application of CO
2 injection to improve the recovery of natural gas and condensate is still in the development stage. The injection mode, injection time and the interaction mechanism between CO
2 and reservoir fluid are not clear. Through the improved constant volume depletion experiment of CO
2 injection with condensate gas and the measurement experiment of oil-gas interfacial tension, a stepped incremental CO
2 injection huff and puff method is proposed on the basis of determining the maximum reverse condensate pressure, liquid volume and CO
2 condensate oil interaction mode, and the huff and puff effect and CO
2 storage ratio are evaluated by full diameter core experiment. The results show that after the condensate gas is injected into CO
2, the dew point pressure, the maximum reverse condensate pressure and the condensate volume are continuously reduced, the critical point moves to the lower left corner, the two-phase envelope area shrinks inward, and the envelope area becomes smaller. The phase mixing between CO
2 and condensate can be achieved gradually only after multiple contacts. The higher the CO
2 pressure is, the fewer contacts are required to achieve the phase mixing. The condensate recovery of four rounds of incremental CO
2 huff and puff is 1.2%, 14.4%, 25.8% and 3.6% respectively, which is 45% higher than that of natural depletion condensate. The proportion of CO
2 storage decreases with the increase of throughput times, which are 82.2%, 72.1%, 46.4% and 9.2% respectively. The optimal number of CO
2 throughput times should not exceed 3. The effect of stepped incremental CO
2 huff and puff is mainly affected by CO
2 injection pressure and core system pressure. When the CO
2 injection pressure is lower than MMP, it is not conducive to CO
2 huff and puff and storage. The research results provide a reference for the efficient development of condensate gas reservoirs and the improvement of retrograde condensate damage.
