页岩油注CO2开采特征室内实验研究

Laboratory experimental research on production characteristics with CO2 injection in shale oil

  • 摘要: 页岩油压裂后衰竭开采普遍存在产量递减快、地层能量迅速衰减、采收率低等问题,因此探索有效的提高采收率技术具有重要意义。注CO2是提高油气采收率的重要手段,但其实际应用效果与作用规律尚不明确,导致开发参数优化缺乏可靠依据。为此,创新研发了抽空—加压饱和—驱替一体化的智能岩心夹持器,建立了“高温抽真空—多级加压饱和油”新方法,突破了大尺寸岩心饱和油的技术瓶颈,实现了岩心抽空—加压饱和—驱替一体化岩心物理模拟实验功能,系统分析了饱和过程、焖井扩散规律、产出流体组分变化及多轮次吞吐特征。CO2多轮次吞吐可有效提高页岩油采收率,6轮次总吞吐效率达38.02%,其中前两轮次效率最高(28.12%)。气相色谱分析显示产出流体中C16~C27中—重质组分的相对含量呈递增趋势,明确了早期CO2优先萃取轻质组分、后期动用重质组分的开采特征。随着注气轮次增加,含油饱和度降低,CO2在基质中的扩散能力则持续增强。基于上述实验结果,建议在现场分阶段优化注入CO2:前两轮次采用高注气量,快速建立渗流通道;第3轮次之后,需提高注气压力或添加助剂以改善萃取效果。研究为页岩油藏CO2吞吐开发提供了实验支撑与优化方向。

     

    Abstract: Depletion development of shale oil reservoirs after fracturing tends to face challenges including rapid production decline, rapid formation energy attenuation, and low recovery efficiency. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore effective enhanced oil recovery technologies. CO2 injection is an important method to enhance oil and gas recovery, but its performance in actual applications and mechanisms remains unclear, limiting the optimization of development parameters. To address this issue, an intelligent core holder was innovatively developed, enabling integrated steps of evacuation, pressurized saturation, and displacement. A new high-temperature vacuuming method with multi-stage pressurized oil saturation was designed, addressing the technical difficulty of oil saturation in large-diameter cores. This enabled integrated physical simulation experiments of cores, including core evacuation, pressurized saturation, and displacement. The saturation process, diffusion law during soaking, component changes of produced fluids, and multi-cycle huff and puff characteristics were systematically analyzed. The results showed that multi-cycle CO2 huff and puff effectively improved the recovery efficiency of shale oil, with the total huff and puff efficiency reaching 38.02% after six cycles. The first two cycles showed the highest efficiency(28.12%). Gas chromatographic analysis indicated that the relative content of medium-heavy components of C16 to C27 in produced fluids exhibited an increasing trend, confirming that CO2 preferentially extracted light components at an early stage and activated heavy components at a later stage. With increasing injection cycles, oil saturation decreased while the diffusion capacity of CO2 in the matrix continued to improve. Based on these experimental results, a staged CO2 injection is recommended in field applications. High gas injection volume should be adopted in the first two cycles to quickly establish seepage channels. After the third cycle, it is necessary to increase gas injection pressure or add additives to improve extraction effects. This study provides experimental support and optimization guidance for CO2 huff and puff development in shale oil reservoirs.
