稠油油藏中烟道气伴注蒸汽增效机理分子动力学研究

Molecular Dynamics Study on the Enhancement Mechanisms of Flue-Gas/Steam Co-Injection in Heavy-Oil Reservoirs

  • 摘要: 烟道气伴注蒸汽技术是实现稠油绿色高效开发的有效方法。从分子层面深入剖析其提质增效机理,有助于推动该技术在油田的规模化应用。本文建立了稠油-蒸汽-烟道气三相分子动力学模型,探究了不同温度、压力、注汽量体系相互作用机制。结果表明:温度由323 K升至423 K,烟道气扩散系数和原油体积膨胀系数分别提升了4.2倍和1.6倍,温度升高增强了烟道气分子的热运动和扩散能力,有效解构了胶质/沥青质等重质组分间的相互作用;高于饱和压力后,气体分子可以有效克服传质阻力,增强溶解能力,促进体系降粘;注气量的增加使更多气体分子可以有效的嵌入组分间隙,削弱了其π-π堆积等强相互作用,强化了气体在稠油中的渗透、扩容与稀释作用。

     

    Abstract: Flue-gas co-injection with steam is an effective pathway for green and efficient heavy-oil development. Elucidating its enhancement mechanisms at the molecular scale can accelerate large-scale field deployment. In this study, a three-phase molecular dynamics model of heavy oil–steam–flue gas was established to examine interfacial interactions under varying temperature, pressure, and gas oil ratio. The results show that as temperature increases from 323 to 423 K, the diffusion coefficient of flue gas and the volumetric expansion coefficient of crude oil rise by 4.2-fold and 1.6-fold, respectively. Higher temperature strengthens the thermal motion and diffusivity of flue-gas molecules, effectively disrupting the associations among heavy fractions such as resins and asphaltenes. Above the saturation pressure, gas molecules can overcome mass-transfer resistance, enhancing solubility and thereby promoting viscosity reduction. Increasing the gas co-injection dosage enables more molecules to insert into intermolecular gaps, weakening strong interactions (e.g., π–π stacking) and consequently intensifying penetration, swelling, and dilution of the heavy oil.
