考虑毛管力影响的咸水层CO2注入盐沉淀预测方法

Salt Precipitation Model of CO2 Injection in Saline Aquifer Considering Influence of Capillary Force

  • 摘要: 考虑毛管力、盐水蒸发和CO2在盐水中的溶解,修正CO2分流量方程,引入阻滞因子和相似变量表征咸水层中CO2的饱和度分布规律和运移距离,建立咸水层注入CO2时盐沉淀定量评价模型,分析毛管力、气体组分、岩石润湿性、地层压力以及盐度对盐沉淀和CO2运移的影响规律。研究表明:毛管力会导致干燥区内盐沉淀量增加,干燥区范围减小;随着气体组分中氮气含量增加,盐沉淀量和干燥区的范围减小,两相区的范围增大;地层压力增大造成分流量曲线和阻滞因子发生变化,进而导致盐沉淀量增大;束缚水饱和度和盐度越大,干燥区内的盐沉淀量越大,表明亲水性强的岩石和盐度高的咸水层中会产生更多的盐沉淀。

     

    Abstract: This study modifies the CO2 fractional flow equation by considering capillary force, brine evaporation, and CO2 dissolution in brine. Retardation factors and similarity variables are introduced to characterize the saturation distribution and migration distance of CO2 in saline aquifers. A quantitative evaluation model for salt precipitation during CO2 injection into saline aquifers is established. The influences of capillary force, gas composition, rock wettability, formation pressure, and salinity on salt precipitation and CO2 migration are analyzed. The results indicate that capillary force increases salt precipitation in the dry-out region while reducing its spatial extent. As the nitrogen content in the gas composition rises, both the amount of salt precipitation and the extent of the dry-out region decrease, whereas the two-phase zone expands. An increase in formation pressure alters the fractional flow curve and retardation factors, consequently enhancing salt precipitation. Higher irreducible water saturation and salinity result in increased salt precipitation within the dry-out region. This suggests that more water-wet rocks and highly saline aquifers are prone to more extensive salt precipitation.
