考虑气体扩散作用的CO2-原油相对渗透率曲线测定方法

A Method for Determining the CO2-Crude Oil Relative Permeability Curve Considering Gas Diffusion Effects

  • 摘要: 油气相对渗透率是表征储层多孔介质中油气渗流规律的重要参数,现有非稳态法测定油气相对渗透率曲线的JBN模型未考虑气体扩散作用的影响。然而,在油藏开发中,气体扩散作用的影响不可忽略。文章通过菲克定律、达西定律及物质平衡方程等,建立了考虑气体扩散作用的油气相对渗透率曲线测定模型,对比了该模型与JBN模型得到的CO2-原油油气相对渗透率曲线,揭示了扩散作用对油气相对渗透率的影响机制。研究结果表明:当考虑气体扩散作用时,油相相对渗透率升高,气相相对渗透率降低;考虑气体扩散作用前后的油气相对渗透率差距在6%~38%之间,且随着含油饱和度减小而降低,影响程度的大小取决于CO2-原油体系扩散系数的大小。由结果可知考虑扩散作用的油气相对渗透率曲线更能准确地反映油气渗流规律,可为准确理解油藏CO2吞吐提高采收率机理提供新的思路。

     

    Abstract: Oil-gas relative permeability is a key parameter that characterizes the flow characteristics of oil and gas through the porous media of a reservoir. The existing JBN model used to determine the oil-gas relative permeability curve via unsteady-state methods neglects the impact of gas diffusion. However, during reservoir development, the influence of gas diffusion cannot be overlooked. An improved relative permeability model incorporating the effect of gas diffusion is developed based on Fick's law, Darcy's law, and the material balance equation. The relative permeability curves of CO2-crude oil obtained by this model and JBN model are compared, demonstrating the impact of diffusion on the oil-gas relative permeability. Results show that when gas diffusion is taken into account, the relative permeability of the oil phase increases, whereas the relative permeability of the gas phase decreases. The relative permeability difference of oil and gas before and after considering gas diffusion effect is between 6% and 38%, and decreases with the decrease of oil saturation. The degree of influence depends on the diffusion coefficient of CO2-crude oil. Incorporating gas diffusion into the oil-gas relative permeability model provides a more accurate representation of flow characteristics, providing new insights into the mechanisms of CO2 huff and puff to enhance oil recovery.
