基于LBM的致密储层水气交替驱的微观流动规律研究

Research on the microscopic flow rules of water alternating gas flooding in tight reservoirs based on LBM

  • 摘要: 目前CO2非混相驱替已成为致密油藏开发提高原油采收率的重要手段,然而,致密储层强非均质性导致CO2驱替过程中气窜问题日益突出。为解决这一问题,CO2水气交替技术结合了水驱与气驱的优势,有效抑制了气窜。因此,本文基于多松弛时间格子玻尔兹曼方法,耦合Shan-Chen多相多组分模型,系统探讨了不同初始含水饱和度、水驱前缘位置、水气段塞尺寸及水气段塞比对多相流体动态赋存规律的影响。研究结果表明:不同类型水气交替过程中,注入水的比例显著影响流动阻力,从而改变水相与气相的驱替路径,具体表现为低比例水段塞的离散分布会扩大气相波及范围,有效提高了驱替效率,但仍存在一定气窜风险;高比例水段塞则能稳定驱替前缘,但油相动用受到限制。本文揭示了致密储层CO2水气交替提高采收率的微观渗流机理,为抑制气窜开发参数优化提供了科学依据,对于指导油田高效开发具有重要理论价值和实践意义。

     

    Abstract: At present, CO2 immiscible displacement has become an important technical means to enhance oil recovery in the development of tight reservoirs. However, the strong heterogeneity of tight reservoirs leads to the problem of gas channeling in the process of CO2 displacement. In order to solve this problem, the advantages of water flooding and gas flooding were combined by the CO2 water alternating gas technology, and gas channeling was suppressed effectively. Therefore, based on the multi-relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method, coupled with the Shan-Chen multiphase multi-component model, the influence of different initial water saturation, water flooding front position, water-gas slug size and water-gas slug ratio on the dynamic occurrence law of multiphase fluid were discussed systematically in this paper. The results show that in the process of different types of water alternating gas, the flow resistance was affected by the proportion of injected water significantly, thus the displacement path of water phase and gas phase were changed. The specific performance is that the gas phase sweep range was expanded because of the discrete distribution of low proportion water slug, and the displacement efficiency was improved effectively, but there is still a certain risk of gas channeling. The high proportion of water slug can stabilize the displacement front, but the oil phase is limited. This paper reveals the microscopic percolation mechanism of CO2 water alternating gas enhanced oil recovery in tight reservoirs, provides a scientific basis for the optimization of gas channeling parameters, and has important theoretical value and practical significance for guiding the efficient development of oilfields.
