Visual simulation method for clay expansion and migration in pressure-reducing exploitation process of argillaceous powder sand mold hydrate
Technical Field

Background
The natural gas hydrate is regarded as the best alternative energy in the 21 st century, more than 90% of the natural gas hydrate is distributed in the argillaceous silty sand type reservoir stratum, the argillaceous silty sand type reservoir stratum has the characteristics of small porosity, low permeability, high clay content and the like, and the clay minerals are easy to hydrate, expand, disperse and move in the mining process, so that the seepage space in the pores of the reservoir stratum is reduced, and the permeability of the reservoir stratum is seriously reduced.
Aiming at the problem of reservoir damage caused by clay in the pressure reduction exploitation process of argillaceous silt type hydrate, the existing literature carries out a hydrate pressure reduction exploitation simulation experiment by using clay-containing sediments, and the fact that the volume expansion and particle migration of the clay really occur in the pressure reduction decomposition process of the hydrate, so that the permeability of the sediment is reduced. However, the final result of the swelling and/or migration of clay can only be obtained by means of the prior art means and research methods, and the behavior evolution process of clay, such as how clay particles swell and migrate in pores, how the swelled and migrated clay particles affect the hydrate decomposition and gas-water seepage, cannot be described at present.
In addition, the pore medium used for simulating the argillaceous powder sand mold reservoir at present is a natural core or an artificial filling core, and the pore structures among different cores are difficult to ensure to be completely consistent. Because the behaviors such as clay expansion, migration and the like have stronger dependence on the pore structure of the sediment, the difference of the pore structures among the rock cores inevitably has great influence on the behavior of the clay, thereby seriously interfering the accuracy of the research result.
