Technical field
The invention belongs to petroleum works technical field, relate to the spontaneous imbibition measurement technology of rock core, particularly relate to a kind of spontaneous imbibition measuring method based on electromotive force.
Background technology
At present, having fine and close feature with the unconventional reservoir that shale gas is representative, its exploitation needs carry out extensive fracturing, and substantial amounts of water injects stratum, and therefore, the evaluation spontaneous imbibition rule of reservoir rock is one of key issue of unconventionaloil pool developmental research.This mainly has the reason of following several respects: firstly, since the pore throat of compact reservoir is tiny, and it is other that venturi distribution is in micro/nano level more, and the spontaneous imbibition phenomena that capillary force causes becomes apparent from than conventional reservoir, and the impact that reservoir is produced is bigger;Secondly, the water absorbing capacity of this type of reservoir depends on lithology, stratum and the kind of liquid being artificially injected, it is necessary to carry out large batch of self-priming experimentation compact reservoir and the interaction being artificially injected liquid;Finally, the anisotropism of this type of reservoir is relatively strong, particularly in shale gas drilling process, it is necessary to the shale of Different Strata or same stratum diverse location is carried out the evaluation of many sub-samplings.
Being often below 50% with the fracturing fluid recovery (backflow) rate of unconventional reservoir that shale gas is representative, substantial amounts of fracturing fluid is detained in the earth formation.This type of reservoir is generally grown micro-nano hole, owing to its pore throat is tiny, hollow billet effect is greatly enhanced, fracturing fluid is entered substrate by crack by self-priming effect, form Water trapping and cause the fracturing fluid not easily row of returning, different fracturing fluids is due to differences such as its surface tension, wettability, formation properties, and its self-priming difference between the effects is bigger.
Owing to the pore throat of compact rock core is tiny, testing time needed for its spontaneous imbibition experiment is longer, the impact of ambient temperature, humidity change it is more vulnerable to during test, so traditional test methods cannot meet the requirement of measuring accuracy, and the regularity of distribution and the rule over time of fluid saturation in rock core cannot be obtained.
Method conventional at present is, will soak in core barrel, and the glass tubing of piece height that can measure water of termination at cylinder, and uses video camera to be monitored for liquid level in glass tubing.After rock sample absorbs water, the liquid level in glass tubing declines, and record liquid level falling head over time, again through the product of glass tubing cross-sectional area Yu liquid level falling head, calculates the quality of rock suction water over time.But this measuring method exists some personal errors, can cause that measurement result is inaccurate, additionally this measurement apparatus can only measure whole rock core suck water quality over time, have certain limitation.
