缝洞型介质3D等效渗透率张量计算方法

A 3D equivalent permeability tensor calculation method for fractured-vuggy media

  • 摘要: 基于数字岩心技术,精细刻画裂缝和溶洞的真实形态与空间分布特征,构建基质-缝洞耦合的缝洞型介质3D几何模型。针对缝洞与基质流动特征的差异,建立自由流-渗流耦合的Darcy-Brinkman数学模型,开展混合尺度流动模拟研究。在此基础上,提出3D等效渗透率张量计算方法,并对等效渗透率的影响因素进行敏感性分析。研究结果表明:裂缝和溶洞导致储层压力与流速呈现非均匀分布特征,裂缝对整体压力分布影响更为显著;裂缝显著提高了其延伸方向的渗流能力,裂缝-孔洞型储层的等效渗透率张量各向异性更强;介质等效渗透率受裂缝长度及与压降方向夹角的影响更为显著。本研究对提升此类储层物性计算精度、实现储层参数尺度升级具有重要指导意义。

     

    Abstract: Based on digital core technology, this study finely characterizes the real morphology and spatial distribution characteristics of fractures and vugs, and constructs a 3D geometric model of fractured-vuggy media that couples matrix with fractures and vugs. Aiming at the differences in flow characteristics between fractured-vuggy regions and matrix, a Darcy-Brinkman mathematical model coupling free flow and seepage flow is established to conduct mixed-scale flow simulation research. On this basis, a calculation method for the 3D equivalent permeability tensor is proposed, and a sensitivity analysis of the influencing factors of equivalent permeability is carried out. The research results show that: fractures and vugs lead to the heterogeneous distribution of reservoir pressure and flow velocity, and fractures have a more significant impact on the overall pressure distribution; fractures significantly improve the seepage capacity in their extension direction, and the equivalent permeability tensor of fracture-vug reservoirs exhibits stronger anisotropy; the equivalent permeability of the media is more significantly affected by fracture length and the angle between fractures and the pressure drop direction. This research holds important guiding significance for improving the calculation accuracy of physical properties of such reservoirs and realizing the scale-up of reservoir parameters.
