致密/页岩油与CO2+伴生气微观作用机理及应用研究

Microscopic Mechanisms and Applications of CO2+Associated Gas with Tight and Shale Oils

  • 摘要: 致密/页岩油是保障我国油气长期稳产与国家能源安全的核心战略资源,但该类油藏普遍存在原油采收率偏低、剩余油动用难度大等开发难题,亟需研发经济高效的提高采收率技术。针对上述问题,利用分子动力学模拟手段,系统开展了CO2-CH4,CO2-C2H6和CO2-C3H8等3类二元混合气与致密/页岩油在体相及石英纳米孔内的混相行为与运移特征研究,揭示混合气类型、组分配比及原油组分对体系混相程度与驱替效率的调控机制。研究结果表明:3类混合气的溶解能力与分子扩散能力分别主导气-油混相程度与驱替效率;3类混合气的混相能力排序为CO2-C3H8>CO2-C2H6>CO2-CH4,驱替效率则呈相反规律。CO2-CH4,CO2-C2H6和CO2-C3H8混合气兼具提升驱油效率与扩大剩余油动用程度的双重优势,轻质原油优先选用CO2-C2H6混合气,重质原油优选CO2-C3H8混合气,二者均可显著改善油藏开发效果。基于该认识,矿场开发可结合CO2驱的经济效益与环境效益动态调整注入气组分,通过协同强化混相作用与驱替效率实现开发效益提升。该研究可为提高油气资源利用率、延长油田开发周期提供理论支撑,同时为CCUS全链条综合效益优化提供科学依据。

     

    Abstract: Tight/shale oil is an important strategic resource for sustaining long-term stable oil and gas production in China and safeguarding national energy security. However, its development commonly faces low oil recovery and difficulty in mobilizing remaining oil, highlighting the urgent need for economical and efficient enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies. To address this issue, molecular dynamics simulations were employed to systematically investigate the miscibility behavior and transport characteristics of three binary gas mixtures, namely CO2-CH4, CO2-C2H6, and CO2-C3H8, with tight/shale oil in both bulk systems and quartz nanopores. The governing mechanisms by which gas-mixture type, gas composition, and oil composition regulate miscibility and displacement efficiency were clarified. The results show that the dissolution capacity and molecular diffusivity of gas mixtures govern their miscibility with crude oil and displacement efficiency, respectively. The miscibility capability follows the order of CO2-C3H8>CO2-C2H6>CO2-CH4, whereas the displacement efficiency shows the opposite trend. Injection of CO2-C2H6 and CO2-C3H8 mixtures provides the dual advantages of improving oil displacement efficiency and expanding the mobilized volume. Specifically, CO2-C2H6 is more suitable for lighter oils, whereas CO2-C3H8 is preferred for heavier oils, and both can significantly improve reservoir development performance. Based on these findings, the injection-gas composition can be dynamically adjusted in field development according to the EOR benefits and environmental benefits of CO2 injection, thereby synergistically enhancing miscibility and displacement efficiency and improving development performance. This study helps improve resource utilization efficiency and extend the productive life of oilfields, providing a scientific basis for enhancing the overall benefits of the full CCUS chain.
