基于LBM的致密储层水气交替驱的微观流动规律研究

Research on Microscopic Flow Rules of Water Alternating Gas Flooding in Tight Reservoirs Based on LBM

  • 摘要: 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:在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,可有效提高驱替效率,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理论价值和实践意义。

     

    Abstract: This study employs the multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method (MRT-LBM) coupled with the Shan–Chen multiphase and multicomponent model to systematically elucidate the influence of initial water saturation, waterflood front position, slug size, and water-to-gas slug ratio on the dynamic occurrence and migration patterns of multiphase fluids. The findings reveal that, across different water–alternating–gas (WAG) injection schemes, the proportion of injected water exerts a decisive impact on flow resistance, thereby reshaping the displacement pathways of both water and gas phases. Specifically, low water-to-gas ratios lead to discretely distributed water slugs, which enlarge the gas-phase sweep region and enhance displacement efficiency, although the risk of gas channeling remains. Conversely, high water-to-gas ratios contribute to a more stable displacement front but restrict the mobilization of the oil phase. These results uncover the microscale seepage mechanisms governing CO2 WAG flooding in tight reservoirs, establish a robust theoretical foundation for optimizing development parameters to mitigate gas channeling, and offer valuable guidance for achieving more efficient field-scale oil recovery.
