CO2吞吐提高凝析气藏凝析油采收率实验研究

Experimental Study on Improving Condensate Oil Recovery by CO2 Huff and Puff in Condensate Gas Reservoirs

  • 摘要: 注CO2提高天然气和凝析油采收率的应用目前仍处于发展阶段,CO2的注入方式、注入时机以及CO2与储层流体之间的相互作用机理尚不明确。通过开展凝析气藏注CO2定容衰竭实验和油气界面张力测定实验,在明确最大反凝析压力及液量和CO2-凝析油相互作用方式的基础上,提出了逐级增量CO2吞吐方法,并采用全直径岩心实验对吞吐效果及CO2储存比例进行了评价。研究发现,在凝析气藏注入CO2后,其露点压力、最大反凝析压力和凝析油体积均不断降低,临界点向左下角移动,两相包络区向内收缩,流体组分变轻;CO2与凝析油之间需经多次接触才能逐步混相,CO2压力越高,达到混相所需接触的次数越少;4轮增量CO2吞吐的凝析油采收率分别为1.2%、14.4%、25.8%和3.6%,比自然衰竭凝析油采收率累计提高了45%;CO2储存比例随吞吐次数的增加而降低,分别为82.2%、72.1%、46.4%和9.2%,最佳CO2吞吐次数应不超过3次;CO2吞吐效果受CO2注入压力及岩心系统压力的影响,当CO2注入压力低于最小混相压力(MMP)时,不利于CO2吞吐和储存。研究结果可为凝析气藏高效开发、改善反凝析伤害提供参考和借鉴。

     

    Abstract: the application of CO2 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 CO2 and reservoir fluid are not clear. Through the improved constant volume depletion experiment of CO2 injection with condensate gas and the measurement experiment of oil-gas interfacial tension, a stepped incremental CO2 injection huff and puff method is proposed on the basis of determining the maximum reverse condensate pressure, liquid volume and CO2 condensate oil interaction mode, and the huff and puff effect and CO2 storage ratio are evaluated by full diameter core experiment. The results show that after the condensate gas is injected into CO2, 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 CO2 and condensate can be achieved gradually only after multiple contacts. The higher the CO2 pressure is, the fewer contacts are required to achieve the phase mixing. The condensate recovery of four rounds of incremental CO2 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 CO2 storage decreases with the increase of throughput times, which are 82.2%, 72.1%, 46.4% and 9.2% respectively. The optimal number of CO2 throughput times should not exceed 3. The effect of stepped incremental CO2 huff and puff is mainly affected by CO2 injection pressure and core system pressure. When the CO2 injection pressure is lower than MMP, it is not conducive to CO2 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.
