摘要:
页岩储集层岩石致密、孔喉细小、渗透率极低,了解页岩渗流机理是提高页岩油气采收率的关键。为此,开展页岩岩心液氮(LN2)低温处理试验和循环注CO2吞吐试验,分析液氮低温处理后不同注气压力循环注气吞吐对页岩油采收率、岩心物性和油气两相相对渗透率的影响,明确处理前后微观孔隙结构的变化特征。试验结果表明,LN2注入后页岩可产生313.5 MPa热应力,诱导微裂缝形成。LN2汽化体积膨胀作用和循环注CO2吞吐能够在微裂缝形成后在岩心中形成再加压机制,扩展诱导裂缝,提高渗流能力。CO2吞吐采收率与注入压力成正比,超临界态CO2首轮和3轮累计吞吐采收率比亚临界态CO2高32.4%和34.9%,提高幅度达154.6%和101.7%。高压注CO2所需的吞吐次数减少,产出油量主要来源于前2轮吞吐。与初始页岩岩心相比,超临界态CO2循环吞吐后平均孔径增大幅度为176%,最大油、气相对渗透率分别提高了1.8倍和2.3倍。研究成果对页岩油气增产具有一定参考意义。
Abstract:Shale reservoir has tight rock, small pore throat and very low permeability. How to enhance the permeability of shale is the key to improving the recovery rate of shale oil and gas. Through conducting liquid nitrogen (LN2) low-temperature treatment experiments on shale cores and cyclic injection of CO2 flooding experiments, the effects of cyclic gas injection at different injection pressures after LN2 low-temperature treatment on the recovery rate of shale oil, core physical properties, and relative permeability of oil and gas phases were studied, and the changes in the microscopic pore structure before and after the treatment were clarified. The experimental results show that after LN2 injection, the shale can generate a thermal stress of 313.5 MPa, inducing the formation of micro-fractures. The volume expansion effect of LN2 vaporization and cyclic CO2 flooding can form a re-pressurization mechanism in the core after the formation of micro-fractures, expanding the induced fractures and improving the permeability. The recovery rate of CO2 flooding is proportional to the injection pressure. The cumulative recovery rates of the first and third rounds of supercritical CO2 flooding are 32.4% and 34.9% higher than those of subcritical CO2, with an increase of 154.6% and 101.7%, respectively. The number of required flooding cycles for high-pressure CO2 injection is reduced, and the produced oil mainly comes from the first two rounds of flooding. Compared with the initial shale core, the porosity after supercritical CO2 cyclic flooding increases by 78.6%, the permeability increases by 27,204%, the average pore diameter increases by 176%, and the maximum relative permeability of oil and gas increases by 1.8 times and 2.3 times, respectively. The research results provide a reference for the production increase of shale oil and gas.
