The effective (phase) permeability of each phase of gas and water can be respectively recorded as Kg、Kw。

S2 reservoir drying salting-out effect evaluation method
The reasons for the generation of the reservoir drying salting-out effect and the influencing factors of the salting-out degree are manifold. In the process of natural gas injection and production, salt precipitation in pores can cause the effective pore space to be reduced, the permeability to be poor and the seepage resistance of fluid to be increased. The deformation of the pore space and the change in the fluid are described and are usually characterized by the ratio of the initial and current physical parameters (or the degree of change in the physical parameters). The following were used:
Where P is formation pressure, T is formation temperature, ω is mineralization, SwiIs the initial average water saturation, SwIs the current average water saturation, vinIs the gas injection velocity, voutIs gas production rate, reIs the radius of gas supply, E is the energy of the water body, and s is the epidermal factor.
Based on a statistical analysis method and a multiple nonlinear regression (or based on a neural network principle), determining main influence factors of the physical property parameter change degree, and establishing a corresponding empirical formula.
The empirical formula is subjected to error detection, and then the method can be applied to evaluation of the drying salting-out degree of the on-site conventional gas well and the gas injection and production gas well of the gas storage.
Based on the evaluation result, corresponding evaluation standards can be established for guiding gas reservoir development and gas storage bank building operation.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
The basic basis and principle established by the experimental system of the embodiment of the invention are as follows:
firstly, as the gas flows into the well, the flow cross section vertical to the flow direction is smaller close to the well axis, the seepage velocity is increased rapidly, the pressure drop funnel is steeper than the linear seepage, the high-speed flow around the well axis is equivalent to the turbulent flow, namely, the seepage in the near-well area of the gas reservoir has the high-speed non-Darcy effect. By utilizing the conventional core holder, fluid is approximately regarded as one-dimensional unidirectional flow through the cylindrical core, the seepage sectional areas at different positions are the same, the actual seepage sectional area of the near-wellbore zone is reduced along with the distance close to the well shaft, the seepage speed is maximum near the wellbore, and the cylindrical core obviously cannot simulate the characteristic that the seepage sectional area changes along with the position. In the gas injection and production process, the quantity of salt precipitates or the serious salt blockage position at the position is determined by the characteristic that the seepage velocity changes along with the position. In addition to flow rate variation being related to pressure drop, the high velocity non-darcy effect near the wellbore is one of the main causes of flow rate variation. Although, inertial (or turbulent) effects are prevalent when laboratory gas measurements are made on highly permeable cores. The reason for this is not only the size of the percolation resistance (or permeability, viscosity), but also the relatively high flow rate (or the difficulty of measurement if a low pressure gradient is required for a low volume flow rate) for the metering requirements. However, for displacement experiments, the flow rate variation caused by pressure drop has strong randomness (microscopic heterogeneity determination), and the relationship between the salt deposition amount and the position is difficult to characterize. Therefore, it is desirable and necessary to create an improved pseudocore to simulate high velocity seepage in the near wellbore region of a gas reservoir. Just as the steel conical sand filling barrel with dynamic pressure measurement monitoring provided by the embodiment of the invention is convenient for solving the problems or difficulties;
secondly, for a gas reservoir with active water, the gas reservoir water invasion phenomenon is ubiquitous due to the plane and longitudinal heterogeneity of the reservoir. Gas reservoir water invasion can cause water to accumulate in the well bore of the gas well, affecting gas well production. The reservoir drying salting-out effect and gas reservoir water invasion exist simultaneously, and the gas reservoir water invasion can accelerate the diffusion or migration of solutes in the reservoir. Therefore, simulating the solute diffusion or migration phenomenon caused by water intrusion is very important for evaluating the dynamic process of reservoir drying salting-out;
and thirdly, simulating the treatment measures of the salt blockage of the near-wellbore region of the reservoir, having important guiding significance for formulating a solution of the salt blockage and eliminating or weakening the near-wellbore blockage, and providing technical support for better solving the problems of drying and salting out in the processes of gas reservoir development and gas storage construction operation.
Based on this, the experimental system of the embodiment of the present invention (fig. 1 and fig. 2 show the schematic diagram of the experiment system of the drying salting-out effect in the near wellbore region of the gas storage injection and production well and the composition diagrams of each system of the experiment system of the embodiment of the present invention) mainly comprises a conical steel sand filling barrel 1, a screw pump 2, a gas cylinder 3, a displacement medium intermediate container (including an injected gas intermediate container 5, a clean water intermediate container 6, and a saturated brine intermediate container 7), an inlet and outlet observation window 8 (including observation windows 1 and 2), a back pressure valve 4, a liquid metering device 9, a dryer 10, a gas metering device 11, an injected gas recovery device 12, and a computer 13.

The displacement medium intermediate containers (injection gas intermediate container 6, clear water intermediate container 7, brine intermediate container 8) and the displacement system were in an air bath oven to simulate specific reservoir temperature conditions (fig. 1, 2).
The experiment system consists of four parts, namely an injection system, a displacement system, a metering and waste gas treatment system and a computer processing system. Wherein, the screw pump 2, the gas cylinder 3, the displacement medium intermediate container (including the injected gas intermediate container 5, the clear water intermediate container 6, the saturated brine intermediate container 7) and the related control valve constitute the injection system, the conical steel sand filling barrel 1 and the inlet and outlet observation window 8 (including the observation windows 1 and 2) constitute the displacement system, the back pressure valve 4, the liquid metering device 9, the dryer 10, the gas metering device 11 and the injected gas recovery unit 12, the blow-down valve constitutes the metering and waste gas treatment system, and the computer 13 constitutes the computer processing system.
The experimental process is divided into two parts, namely injection and production process simulation and salt blockage elimination process simulation. The concrete connection mode of the injection-production process simulation is as follows: firstly, a screw pump 2 is connected with a control valve 1, an injected gas intermediate container 5, a clear water intermediate container 6 and a saturated brine intermediate container 7 are respectively connected, and pressure transmission and other pipeline fluids entering are controlled between each intermediate container and the screw pump 2 through the control valve 2, the control valve 3 and the control valve 4.

The control valve 9 is divided into two paths, one line is connected with the control valve 10, the observation window 1, two ends of the steel conical sand filling cylinder 1 and the observation window 2, the space between the inlet and the outlet of the sand filling cylinder 1 is divided into three pressure measuring sections, each section is connected with a differential pressure gauge (the differential pressure gauges 1, 2 and 3 are respectively used for measuring, and the differential pressure gauges 1, 2 and 3 are respectively used for measuring), and the middle position is connected with a temperature gauge.

In order to simulate the stratum near the well end plugging removal process, injection media need to be injected from the outlet end of the conical steel sand filling cylinder 1, flow out from the inlet end, and are metered and recovered. The specific connection mode of the salt blockage eliminating process is as follows: at the control valve 9, two branch lines are divided, one branch line enters the large-section-area inlet of the steel sand filling cylinder along the injection process (forward direction) (when in reverse displacement, the control valve 10 is closed), and the other branch line enters the small-section-area inlet of the steel conical sand filling cylinder 1 along the salt blockage eliminating process (reverse direction) (dotted line in figure 1). After the small section flows in, the small section is connected with the observation window 2, the displacement system (namely the conical steel sand filling cylinder 1) and the observation window 1 and is divided into two branch lines. One of which is connected to the control valve 10 (control valve 10 closed in the case of reverse displacement), and the other of which is connected to the metering system via the control valve 12 (dashed line in fig. 1). In addition, after the control valve 7 at the outlet end of the clear water intermediate container is connected with the control valve 13, the clear water intermediate container is connected with the brine intermediate container 7 and used for auxiliary blending of brine. The displacement medium intermediate containers (injection gas intermediate container 5, clear water intermediate container 6, brine intermediate container 7) and the displacement system were in an air bath oven to simulate specific reservoir temperature conditions (fig. 1, fig. 2).

The sand consumption is as follows: the sand with different particle sizes is screened and densely filled according to a certain proportion, and the filling method can refer to the patent CN107742031A granted by the inventor to simulate the reservoir conditions under the requirement of specific physical property parameters.
3.

(IV) formation temperature and pressure simulation
The air bath oven temperature is set to the actual formation temperature condition. Compared with a cemented rock core, sand grains in the sand filling cylinder are easy to generate pore deformation under the confining pressure effect, and the confining pressure is repeatedly loaded and unloaded, so that the experimental result is not contrastive due to the pore deformation, and the simulated formation pressure condition is temporarily not considered.
(V) physical property parameter test of simulated rock core
1. Porosity of
Porosity reflects the degree of development of pores in the rock, characterizing the ability of a reservoir to store fluids. The testing method generally adopts a weighing method.
Firstly, weighing net weight of an unfilled sand filling cylinder, then weighing dry weight of the sand filling cylinder after filling the sand filling cylinder to be compact, and assembling the sand filling cylinder into a displacement system. Injecting a prepared stratum water saturated rock core, stopping injection after saturation is finished, immediately cooling and relieving pressure, taking down and weighing the saturated simulated rock core to obtain the wet weight of the simulated rock core, and calculating to obtain the initial pore volume and porosity, namely

2. Permeability rate of penetration
The absolute permeability of rock is divided into liquid permeability and gas permeability according to the difference of injected media. The test was based on the following:
(1) liquid measured permeability

The specific experimental contents are as follows:
1. speed sensitivity experiment of drying salting-out effect
(1) Speed sensitivity test of gas injection process
1) First, the gas injection process is the reverse of the displacement system, i.e., injection from a small cross-section and outflow from a large cross-section. Adjusting the control valve to form a reverse displacement passage;
2) the displacement system is then warmed to the specified simulated temperature conditions. After the temperature is stable, injecting clear water into the simulated rock core for full saturation (the saturation time is determined by the difference value between the saturation volume and the pore volume), and recording the saturation volume;
3) setting back pressure, respectively carrying out gas injection and water displacement experiments on the simulated rock core of the saturated water according to certain stepped gas injection speeds (generally from small to large, 0.5ml/h, 1ml/h, 1.5ml/h, 2ml/h and 2.5ml/h), and testing pore seepage parameters in an initial state. And (4) recording displacement time, pump reading, injection pressure, injection speed, back pressure, differential pressure meter reading and thermometer reading at each position, metering air quantity and water quantity and the like in the experimental process. The above steps were used as a salt-free displacement control group for the experiment;
4) and after the displacement is finished, vacuumizing and restoring the simulated rock core, displacing the simulated rock core by using saturated brine and recording the saturation volume when the system is restored to the specified temperature condition. Respectively carrying out gas injection flooding saturated brine experiments on the simulated rock core of the saturated brine at a certain stepped gas injection speed (the speed is the same as that of a salt-free control group), and recording related experimental data;
5) and after the experiment of gas injection displacement saturated brine is completed, testing the gas logging permeability of the simulated rock core. And after the test is finished, performing reverse unblocking (the displacement system still keeps reverse connection) by using the clear water to displace the rock core so as to restore the initial state of the simulated rock core. And monitoring the water mineralization degree of the outflow end, recording related experimental data in the plugging process when the water mineralization degree is 0 and considering that the plugging removal is finished, testing the pore permeability parameters after the plugging removal, and evaluating the injection capacity change of the simulated rock core and the recovery condition of the pore permeability parameters.
(2) Speed sensitivity test of gas production process
1) The gas production process is the positive process of the displacement system (injection from a large section and outflow from a small section). Adjusting the control valve to form a positive displacement path;
2) the displacement system is warmed to the specified simulated temperature conditions. After the temperature is stable, injecting saturated brine into the simulated rock core to be fully saturated, and recording the saturated volume;
3) respectively carrying out gas injection and brine displacement experiments on a simulated core of saturated brine according to a certain stepped gas injection speed (the injection needs to be carried out from small to large at a small flow rate, namely 0.1ml/h, 0.2ml/h, 0.3ml/h, 0.4ml/h and 0.5ml/h), establishing the saturation of the bound water, and recording related experimental data (generally, an oil displacement method is adopted for establishing the saturation of the bound water, but in order to avoid the problem of influence of crude oil on the properties of the simulated core, low-speed gas injection can be adopted so as to avoid serious gas channeling. Secondly, low-speed rising-speed gas injection is adopted, so that severe gas channeling is avoided, and the gas drive front edge is pushed slowly. For low permeability cores, the method has better applicability).
4) Setting back pressure, injecting the simulated rock core under the bound water according to certain step gas injection speeds (generally from small to large, 0.5ml/h, 1ml/h, 1.5ml/h, 2ml/h and 2.5ml/h) to simulate the gas production process, and recording related experimental data in the experimental process. Testing the gas logging permeability of the simulated rock core after the simulation of the gas production process is finished;

In the experimental process, the injection medium adopted in the saturated simulation of the rock core is saturated brine, and the gas displacement water experiment with different mineralization degrees at a constant gas injection speed can be carried out to research the influence of the mineralization degree of the formation water on the drying salting-out effect of the reservoir.
2. Simulation experiment of dry salting-out effect under water-cut condition
(1) Important parameters
For gas-water two-phase displacement, several important parameters are involved as follows:
1) phase (or effective) permeability
The phase permeability refers to the phase permeability or effective permeability of a multiphase fluid when the multiphase fluid coexists and flows, wherein the capacity of the multiphase fluid to pass through the rock is the same. The effective (phase) permeability of each phase of gas and water can be respectively recorded as Kg、Kw。
2) Relative permeability
The relative permeability of a phase fluid is the ratio of the effective permeability to the absolute permeability of the phase fluid and is a direct measure of the amount of fluid that passes through the rock.
The relative permeability of the gas and water is respectively recorded as:
(2) air water relative permeability experimental test
And simulating a water invasion condition according to a gas-water relative permeability experiment testing principle. The test of the relative permeability is divided into a steady-state method and an unsteady-state method, and specific experimental steps can be formulated according to the current recommended standard of GB/T28912-2012 method for determining the relative permeability of the two-phase fluid in rock.
During testing, polluted and uncontaminated simulated cores can be respectively adopted to carry out gas-water co-injection to simulate the invasion of water in the gas production process (the uncontaminated simulated core is selected to eliminate salting-out pollution in the prior art and evaluate the salt blockage condition of the simulated core after the water invasion, and the polluted simulated core is selected to study the influence of the water invasion on the original blockage condition).
After the relative permeability of a certain injection proportion is tested by the gas-water co-injection, the absolute permeability of the simulated rock core needs to be tested. And after the test is finished, performing reverse blocking removal treatment (reverse connection of a displacement system) by using the clear water displacement rock core, recording relevant experimental data in the blocking process, testing the pore permeability parameter after blocking removal, and evaluating the injection capacity change of the simulated rock core and the recovery condition of the pore permeability parameter.
3. Simulation experiment for drying salting-out effect in circulating injection-production process
1) Simulating a first circulation gas injection process of a circulation injection and production process, specifically injecting from a small section and flowing out from a large section, and adjusting a control valve to form a reverse displacement passage;
2) the displacement system is warmed to the specified simulated temperature conditions. After the temperature is stable, injecting saturated brine into the simulated rock core to be fully saturated, and recording the saturated volume;
3) carrying out gas injection brine flooding experiment on the simulated rock core of saturated brine at a constant gas injection speed, and testing the gas logging permeability of the simulated rock core after the pressure and flow at the inlet and outlet ends are stable;
4) the injection and production direction is adjusted, saturated brine and injected gas are injected from a large section at the same time, and the saturated brine flows out from a small section to simulate the gas production process (the gas-water ratio is set to be 20: 1) and after the experimental temperature and pressure are stable, testing the gas logging permeability of the simulated rock core. Repeating the steps to simulate the cyclic injection and production process;
5) and (4) recording displacement time, pump reading, injection pressure, injection speed, back pressure, differential pressure meter reading and thermometer reading at each position, metering air quantity and water quantity and the like in the experimental process. And after the simulation experiment of the circulating injection and production process is completed, performing reverse blocking removal treatment (reverse connection of a displacement system) by using a clear water displacement rock core, recording related experimental data in the blocking removal process, and testing the pore permeability parameters after blocking removal.
The above process is a simulation of the circulating injection and production process under the consideration of water intrusion, and the saturated brine and the injected gas can be injected only to simulate the gas production process without injecting the saturated brine and the injected gas together, and the saturated brine and the injected gas are used as a control group of the circulating injection and production process under the condition of no water intrusion.
4. Simulation experiment for drying salting-out and unblocking
By reversely injecting clear water from the simulated rock core for unblocking (small-section injection and large-section outflow), physical property parameters of the simulated rock core before and after unblocking are tested, pressure data of each section of the displacement system are recorded, and the injection capacity and the variation of the pore permeability parameters of the simulated rock core before and after unblocking are evaluated.
Secondly, from the viewpoint of economic and efficient blockage removal, the blockage removal injection agent is generally selected from clear water.
Second, reservoir drying salting-out effect evaluation method
Evaluation method establishment basis and evaluation thought
An anhydration salting-out effect physical simulation experiment is the basis for establishing a reservoir anhydration salting-out effect evaluation method. Not only provides a data body for research, but also is the most direct and objective research means for explaining the drying salting-out mechanism.
The reasons for the generation of the reservoir drying salting-out effect and the influencing factors of the salting-out degree are manifold. In the process of natural gas injection and production, salt precipitation in pores can cause the effective pore space to be reduced, the permeability to be poor and the seepage resistance of fluid to be increased. The deformation of the pore space and the change of the fluid are described, and are generally characterized by the ratio of the initial physical parameters to the current physical parameters (or the change degree of the physical parameters). The following were used:
The change in porosity, permeability, is two important parameters characterizing the degree of salting out. The influencing factors of the two parameters are multivariate, such as formation pressure P, formation temperature T, degree of mineralization omega, water saturation (initial average water saturation S)wiAnd the current average water saturation Sw) Gas injection velocity vinGas production velocity voutRadius of gas supply reWater body energy E, epidermal factor s and the like.
Obviously, each factor and each research target parameter belong to an integral system, and it is difficult to establish an analytical equation containing all the influencing factors. For the grey problem of the complex system, a statistical analysis method is adopted from the concept of the whole according to indoor experiments, numerical simulation, field actual measurement, various dynamic and static data, interpretation result data and the like, the relationship between each factor data and the parameter of a research target and the strength of the influence degree are mined, and a foundation can be laid for establishing the introduction of drying salting-out degree evaluation empirical model formula parameters. Based on the research result of the influence factors of the statistical analysis, the method can also provide reference for establishing a reservoir drying salting-out evaluation analysis model in the later period.
Secondly, in a complex system, each influence factor and a research target parameter have a highly complex nonlinear relation, and the drying degree evaluation empirical formula based on the multiple nonlinear regression can be established to effectively solve the problems. The empirical formula is subjected to error detection, and then the method can be applied to evaluation of the drying salting-out degree of the on-site conventional gas well and the gas injection and production gas well of the gas storage. And establishing corresponding evaluation standards based on the evaluation results to guide gas reservoir development and gas reservoir building operation.
It should be noted that: firstly, when the relation between each factor and the research target parameter is researched by adopting a statistical analysis method, the selection of the statistical analysis method is not unique and needs to be selected according to the characteristics of data. The invention provides a statistical analysis method suitable for research of influence factors of the drying salting-out degree, such as a grey correlation method, principal component analysis, an entropy weight method and a stepwise regression method. The gray correlation method is widely applied to the gray problem (the influence degree of various factors and a research target) in a complex research system, and the calculated gray correlation degree can quantitatively evaluate the influence degree of each factor and the research target and guide the elimination of non-sensitive factors. Besides the gray correlation method, both principal component analysis and entropy weight method can solve the correlation research problem (shown in fig. 5, dotted line) between the influencing factors and the research targets under specific data and scenes. Secondly, the main influence factor for determining the drying salting-out degree is the basis for establishing a model and is related to the introduction of empirical formula parameters. Since the stepwise regression method has the characteristic of parameter screening, the screening standard is measured by the error. Therefore, the corresponding empirical model can be established by directly adopting the stepwise regression method without separately researching the main influencing factors influencing the target parameters (fig. 5, dotted line part).
Thirdly, an empirical formula can be established for practical application scenarios, but the obvious disadvantage is that deep physical and functional relationships among physical quantities cannot be revealed, which is unfavorable for theoretical understanding of the drying salting-out rule or mechanism. Therefore, establishing an analysis formula for evaluating the drying salting-out degree is a necessary condition for deeply researching the drying salting-out mechanism, and is also a basis for establishing selection of an empirical formula equation form. Whether empirical formulas are established or analytical models are developed, they have complementary relationships to each other. The empirical formula can provide guidance and thinking for introducing main parameters for establishing the analytical formula, and the establishment of the theoretical analytical formula can also provide guidance (such as an equation form and parameter introduction) for better establishing an empirical model with high prediction precision.
Finally, for the prediction problem of the research target in which the functional relation or the physical relation between the target parameters and the influencing factors in each system is difficult to establish by using an accurate analytical formula in a complex system, the establishment of an empirical formula based on a statistical analysis method and multiple nonlinear regression has good practical value. With regard to the establishment of the empirical formula, it should be noted that: the empirical formula can be characterized by adopting a formula form with clear relationship among parameters, and can also be characterized by establishing a neural network model based on artificial intelligence principle and data characteristics (figure 5, dotted line part). Each method has its own application scenario and data requirements. For the prediction data conditions with a large amount of experiments, production data, dynamic and static data interpretation results and the like, the neural network model is well adapted to the establishment of the neural network model, the application range and the prediction precision are relatively higher, and the establishment of the empirical formula represented in the formula form is more suitable for the specific application scene with limited data.
