Description

Experimental device and method for in-situ thermal cracking of solvent-assisted thickened oil to coke
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of oil extraction, in particular to an experimental device and method for in-situ thermal cracking of thickened oil into coke assisted by a solvent.
Background
The heavy oil accounts for about 70% of the global oil reserves and is an important substitute resource of conventional oil and gas. With the strong increase of global energy demand and the high development of thin oil in the future, the strategic position of thick oil will be more and more prominent. The heavy oil contains more heavy components and a small amount of impurities, and the oil product and the fluidity are poor, and the exploitation method comprises thermal exploitation methods such as steam injection, air injection, in-situ combustion and the like, and cold exploitation methods such as solvent extraction, chemical agents, miscible phase flooding and the like.
Steam injection is the most widely applied technology for improving the recovery ratio of the thickened oil so far, but the steam injection economy and adaptability are poor in deep and thin oil reservoirs due to serious heat loss, and the steam in-situ modification effect of the thickened oil is poor under the condition. In fact, only after steam injection is carried out for years, and the reservoir pressure is kept above 7MPa, the upgrading of the heavy oil can be obviously observed, and the investment and maintenance cost of steam injection equipment and steam injection pipeline heat insulation treatment is high, so the application prospect of the heavy oil in-situ upgrading exploitation is poor.
The solvent extraction technology is applied to the exploitation of thick oil, a solvent is injected into a stratum to dissolve part of crude oil components, so that the mobility of the crude oil is enhanced, heavy components such as asphaltene and the like separated by extraction are still retained in the stratum, so that the energy is not fully utilized, and the deposited heavy components such as asphaltene and the like can cause blockage and damage to the reservoir stratum to different degrees. In addition, due to the influence of reservoir geological factors and the physical property difference of crude oil, the exploitation efficiency of the heavy oil and the quality of the produced oil are difficult to accurately predict.
The solvent injection assisted thick oil thermal cracking in-situ modification technology can better improve the recovery ratio of thick oil, the thick oil is extracted by injecting the solvent, light components are extracted, then the deposited heavy components are subjected to high-temperature oxidative cracking, and when the temperature reaches 350-450 ℃, the asphaltene deposited after solvent extraction is cracked to generate coke and volatile products, so that the quality of the produced crude oil is improved, and the recovery ratio is also improved. However, the prior art mostly focuses on analyzing the change of the components of the thick oil before and after solvent extraction by extracting the thick oil with solvent vapor, but does not deeply research the process of secondary modification of heavy components such as deposited asphaltene. For the process technology of replacing the development mode after the heavy oil reservoir is extracted by using the solvent, the process technology is still in an exploration stage at present, and some technical problems still exist, so that the solvent-assisted in-situ thermal cracking of the heavy oil needs to be continuously tested and researched to supplement the technology. However, at present, no complete system can perform better simulation and analysis on the system in China.
