Description

Method for predicting heat release of thick oil combustion
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of thickened oil fireflood technology exploitation, in particular to a method for predicting the combustion heat release of thickened oil.
Background
The fire flooding technology is always considered as a method for exploiting thick oil and ultra-thick oil with great potential, and the technology is applied to mines in a plurality of countries (such as the United states, romania and the like) through the development of nearly 100 years and is proved to be an efficient method for improving the recovery ratio of the thick oil. Compared with other methods for improving the recovery ratio, the in-situ combustion technology has the following advantages:
(1) Air is used as injection gas, so that the cost is low and the collection is easy;
(2) The components of the crude oil participating in underground combustion are mostly heavy components without industrial value, and the crude oil can be modified to a certain degree through fire flooding exploitation;
(3) Compared with other thermal oil extraction technologies, the heat loss and economic loss caused by medium heat dissipation can be avoided;
(4) The crude oil displacement efficiency is extremely high, almost no crude oil residue exists in a burnt area, and the oil reservoir recovery ratio is over 60 percent;
(5) The oil displacement mechanism comprises thermal viscosity reduction, steam flooding and CO 2 Non-miscible flooding and the like, and has good comprehensive oil displacement effect.
By quantitatively analyzing the underground combustion capacity and the heat contribution of the thickened oil, a calculation method of the temperature of the front edge of the live wire and the temperature field of the oil layer is established, so that a basis can be provided for predicting the fire flooding effect and optimizing and adjusting the fire flooding scheme.
The one-dimensional combustion pipe model is commonly used in the indoor experiment of the heavy oil fireflood, but due to the small volume, the heterogeneity of an oil layer and the problem of multiple production by one injection, the influence of important parameters such as the design of a gas injection scheme, the distribution of residual oil, the heterogeneity and the like on the fireflood effect is difficult to deeply research. Moreover, the spatial distribution rule of the front edge of the fire wire and the outer edge of the coking zone cannot be revealed, and the research on saturation field distribution, oil wall movement, output dynamics and the like cannot be carried out, so that the method is more limited. At present, in mine field tests at home and abroad, the problems of how to set a well pattern well spacing and how to adjust a gas injection scheme to obtain a more stable and effective fireflood process and the like are not researched deeply by a system. The influence of important parameters such as air injection rate, injection and production well pattern and well spacing on the fireflood effect is also urgently needed to be researched and proved. However, the most fundamental content in these studies is the study on the calculation method of the total heat release and the temperature of the front edge of the firing line in the underground combustion process of the heavy oil. Therefore, the importance and urgency of developing relevant studies is self evident.
In the indoor research, the temperature of the combustion front edge position of the thickened oil can be directly measured by experiments, and the heat release quantity can be converted into the environmental temperature by firstly obtaining the heat release quantity and then combining a chemical thermodynamic formula. In the process of on-site thick oil exploitation, the underground combustion process of thick oil must also consider the flow process, namely only part of heavy components of thick oil participate in the combustion reaction, and the rest part is heated and evaporated, is displaced by flue gas and flows into a production well after being mixed with cold oil. Therefore, by determining the average carbon number of the thickened oil combustion, the heat release of the thickened oil underground combustion process can be accurately obtained, and the temperature calculation result which is closer to the actual fireflood process can be further obtained.
Since thick oil is a complex mixture, which components burn off in an actual reservoir determines its exotherm and the temperature of the reservoir. Different oil layer conditions and gas injection processes cause great differences in burned components, so that the actual heat release is difficult to calculate accurately.

In the experimental stage, nitrogen gas was injected at a rate of 2L/min to remove miscellaneous gases, and then air was injected at a rate of 2L/min. After the oxygen content is stable, a certain heating rate is set, the heating furnace is started (the temperature is linearly raised from 25 ℃ to 600 ℃), and the air injection rate is kept unchanged at 2L/min all the time. CO + CO can be obtained by a gas analyzer 2 By the formula IV (FIG. 3)To obtain CO + CO 2 The total amount of production.

And 4, obtaining the total heat release (14.8 KJ) and the fuel utilization rate FA (12-15%) of the target thick oil by using the formula I and the formula V, and further calculating the static fire wire leading edge temperature of the target thick oil by using the specific heat capacity formulas II and III (the method can still ensure that the relative error of the calculated temperature is within 10%).
And (3) verifying a prediction result:
for the verification of the average carbon number of the burning of the thickened oil, the method is provided for obtaining the carbon number distribution of the thickened oil by using a high-resolution technology, obtaining the total mass percentage of Cx (a certain carbon number) to Cmax (the detected maximum carbon number) by an abundance weighting method, and obtaining the average carbon number based on high-resolution mass spectrometry if the mass percentage is exactly equal to the percentage of the actually burnt component; and comparing the test results of the two, and carrying out rationality verification. In addition, the difference between the theoretical firing line front temperature and the actual combustion front temperature obtained through calculation can be verified through a one-dimensional combustion tube experiment, and then the error of the method is given. The method comprises the following specific steps:
and 5, characterizing the distribution of different carbon numbers in the thickened oil by utilizing a high-resolution technology (figure 5), and obtaining the average carbon number of the target thickened oil by an abundance weighting method. And comparing the average carbon number with the average carbon number obtained by the physical model experiment in the third step to obtain a corresponding error range.
Step 6, in the experiment of the one-dimensional combustion tube (fig. 6), firstly, the combustion tube is kept at a certain inclination angle (for simulating the formation inclination angle) by adjusting the back support, quartz sand, crude oil and kaolin (simulating formation minerals) are uniformly mixed according to the mass ratio of 100. After the filling, the pipe wall is wrapped with glass wool for heat preservation (to prevent the heat loss in the experimental process from being too fast and influencing the stable running of the fireflooding process).
The experimental phase of the burner tube includes a preheating phase and a combustion phase. In the preheating stage, nitrogen is injected at the speed of 2L/min, when the gas analyzer shows that the detected gas content is 0, an igniter is started (the ignition temperature is increased from 25 ℃ to 600 ℃ within 5 min), the igniter is kept working for 30 +/-10 min in the nitrogen atmosphere, and then the combustion stage is started. When the combustion stage starts, stopping introducing nitrogen, injecting air into the combustion tube at the speed of 3L/min, and keeping the working temperature of the igniter unchanged at 600 ℃ (preventing the fire flooding process from being unstable due to heat dissipation of the tube wall or heat carried by air and compensating the heat).
The experimental result of the one-dimensional combustion tube is shown in fig. 7, and under the condition that the temperature of the igniter T1 is kept unchanged, the T2 to T6 thermocouples measure the temperature at fixed points, so that the measured temperature is the temperature change of a certain position point in the whole fireflooding process, and the maximum temperature value of each temperature curve is regarded as the actually-measured temperature of the live wire in the research. Comparing with the static fire wire temperature obtained in step four, the relative error of the calculated temperature and the actual temperature can be obtained (table 2).
