Description

Foam in-situ generation and evaluation device and method suitable for ultra-deep hydrocarbon reservoir
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of foam flooding of ultra-deep hydrocarbon reservoirs, and particularly relates to a foam in-situ generation and evaluation device and method suitable for an ultra-deep hydrocarbon reservoir.
Background
Petroleum is an irreproducible fossil energy source and is an indispensable strategic resource in the society today. In view of the great demands for petroleum resources today, how to increase the petroleum recovery has become an important topic in the development of oil and gas fields. Foam is a dispersion of gas in the form of small bubbles dispersed in a liquid. Because of the unique property of the foam itself for selectively plugging oil and water, the foam has excellent performance in plugging high permeability stratum, expanding fluid sweep volume and improving oil displacement efficiency, and foam flooding becomes one of important technical means for tertiary oil recovery.
The current demand for deep, ultra-deep hydrocarbon reservoirs requires the application of foam flooding to such reservoirs. When the foam fluid is applied to the deep and ultra-deep oil and gas reservoir development field of China, the conventional foam system is not suitable for the severe environment of ultra-high pressure, high temperature and high salt, and a new system design is needed. Using foam flooding techniques, it is desirable to test the performance of foam under formation conditions. The conventional foam evaluation device is used for evaluating the foam performance in an open environment under normal pressure, and the performance of the foam under stratum conditions cannot be objectively and effectively evaluated, so that the bottleneck of the conventional foam evaluation device applied to the evaluation of the oil reservoir conditions is caused, and a test device and a test method capable of simulating the similar application environment of the foam are needed.
In order to solve the problems, a device and a method for foaming at high temperature and high pressure are gradually formed, such as a foaming agent evaluation experimental device and a foaming agent evaluation experimental method proposed in Chinese patent CN102507879A, and the method is characterized in that high-pressure gas and the foaming agent are simultaneously input into a foaming system, and after foaming is completed, the high-pressure gas and the foaming agent are input into a foam performance evaluation system. And the foaming system and the foam performance evaluation system are simultaneously placed in a high-temperature oven, so that the evaluation of the foam performance under the high-temperature and high-pressure condition is simulated. However, the foaming agent evaluation experimental device needs to be transferred to an evaluation system for evaluation after the generation of the foam, and cannot realize in-situ evaluation. Meanwhile, the device needs two pressure systems to respectively control the pressure of the foaming system and the foam performance evaluation system, and the two systems need to be placed in a high-temperature oven to simulate high-temperature conditions, so that the heating area is increased, the structure of the device is complicated due to the arrangement of the high-temperature oven, and the device is not suitable for foam in-situ generation and evaluation of ultra-deep oil and gas reservoirs.
Chinese patent CN111189978A proposes a device for shearing porous media flowing through a sand filling pipe to form foam, where gas and liquid are sheared at high speed by the porous media in the sand filling pipe to form foam, the shearing force of the foam in the porous media can be controlled by adjusting the injection rate, and finally the foaming state of the foam is directly observed by a high-pressure visual container. Although this method truly simulates the formation of foam from the high-speed shearing of porous media under sandstone formation conditions, it is more limited. In the application process, the sand filling pipe is fixed to limit the simulation of the sand filling pipe to other stratum types such as stratum fracture holes and cracks of the ultra-deep reservoir due to different forms of actual stratum, the foaming mode in the foam flooding process of the ultra-deep reservoir is a mode of alternately injecting or mixing and injecting gas and foaming agent into stratum porous media, and the gas and foaming agent are continuously stirred and foamed, and the device only has one mode of shearing the sand filling pipe porous media, so that the simulated stratum conditions are single. And when particles, gel or substances difficult to clean are added into the stable foam system, the particles, gel or substances difficult to clean are retained in the foam system in the process of flowing through the sand filling pipe, so that the visual container is invalid in observation, and the real situation is difficult to react. Therefore, in practical application, the requirement of the ultra-deep oil and gas reservoir stratum on various simulation conditions cannot be met. At present, a foam evaluation device for meeting different stratum conditions and different types of foams of an ultra-deep hydrocarbon reservoir stratum has not been mentioned.
In order to avoid the change of temperature and pressure caused by the need of transferring to an evaluation area after foam generation, chinese patent CN112098602A proposes a high-temperature and high-pressure foam evaluation device, wherein the foam generation area and the evaluation area are both arranged in a cavity, the device is inverted to transfer the foam to the evaluation area by utilizing gravity after foam generation, the temperature and the pressure are not changed during the process, and the problem of inaccurate foam evaluation caused by the conventional change of the temperature and the pressure of the transferred foam is avoided. The foam evaluation area of the device is provided with two groups of visual windows which are staggered up and down so as to observe the form and the volume of the foam in the process of foam half-life and liquid separation half-life, but the method is only suitable for conventional water-based foam, is difficult to observe an opaque foam system such as granular foam, gel foam and the like, and can only be flushed by injecting toluene, ethanol and the like through a liquid inlet due to the limitation of the device, so that the foam is difficult to thoroughly clean. And the increase of the visual window is difficult to avoid, the compressive strength of the device is reduced, and the ultra-high pressure required by the ultra-deep oil reservoir is difficult to meet.
The above-described device and method for evaluating foam performance only consider the provision of a macroscopic viewing window and observe the foam in the cavity by adding a light bulb to the side of the viewing window to understand the foam dynamics. However, the method only considers a part of light-permeable foam system, and only can observe the foam form near the visible window for the foam system with poor light-permeable added particles, gel and the like, and can not observe the foam dynamics in the middle part and the deep part, so that the evaluation of the foam is excessively unilateral and has misalignment.
The foam fluid has the characteristics of stable water meeting, defoaming when meeting oil and the like, is increasingly applied to oil field dewatering and oil increasing technologies in recent years, has different water contents in different oil reservoirs and even different water contents in different positions of the same oil reservoir, has different foam qualities due to different water contents of gas and foaming agent in stratum, and is divided into dry foam and wet foam according to the foam qualities. The physical properties such as elasticity and diffusion are different between the dry foam and the wet foam. However, the definition of these states is always very ambiguous, in order to simulate the high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, the current device has a small inner cavity volume and a fixed stirring paddle height, so that the experiment of different foam quality cannot be satisfied, and the evaluation of the foam generated by the actual stratum is inaccurate. Meanwhile, the gel foam profile control technology is an effective new way for improving the recovery ratio in the middle and later stages of heterogeneous oil reservoir development, and no device is provided at present for the experiment about the breakthrough pressure of gel foam.

The conventional oil reservoir is applied to foam flooding, wherein foam is prepared on the ground or a wellhead in advance and is injected into the well, and for deep and ultra-deep oil and gas reservoirs, because of long-distance well depths, the foam injection needs extremely large pumping pressure, and the requirement on the pumping pressure is very high, so that the situation is generally gas-liquid mixed injection.

The second method is as follows:
and respectively adding a polymer solution, a cross-linking agent, a foaming agent solution and gas into the in-situ generation cylinder main body through the liquid inlet and the gas inlet, stirring and foaming, and recording the pressure P1 at the moment, after gel is formed, keeping the foam in-situ generation cylinder still, enabling the gas inlet to be downward, externally connecting a gas flowmeter to the gas inlet, improving the pressure through gas inlet, recording the pressure P2 at the moment when the gel foam in the in-situ generation cylinder main body breaks through, and wherein the breaking pressure of the gel foam is delta P=P2-P1.

3. the pressure-resistant heat-insulating capillary tube is arranged at the position of the foam in-situ generation cylinder, so that the problem that a conventional device can only observe the foam form near a visual window is solved, and meanwhile, the single foam form can be observed; because of the characteristic of small inner diameter of the pressure-resistant heat-preserving capillary tube, the flow condition in the stratum porous medium capillary tube can be more truly simulated; after the foam is generated, a transverse foam in-situ generation cylinder is needed, and in the process, the influence of gravity on the foam form can be evaluated through a pressure-resistant heat-insulating capillary tube; by replacing capillaries with different inner diameters, whether the added granular foam is blocked or bridged in the stratum with different permeability can be simulated and observed;
4. the invention creatively provides a method for testing the break-through pressure of the gel foam, and realizes the test of the break-through pressure of the gel foam;
5. according to the invention, the height of the stirring paddle can be adjusted according to the volume of the injected liquid and the volume of the inner cavity of the in-situ generation cylinder main body, so that the stirring part is always positioned in the middle of the foaming agent solution, and enough shearing force is provided to enable the foaming agent solution to foam smoothly; meanwhile, as the height of the stirring paddle is adjustable, the evaluation from wet foam to ultra-dry foam with the maximum of 95 percent can be satisfied;
6. the invention can thoroughly clean the inside of the device by opening the openable upper cover after pressure relief, and avoids the problem that the conventional device can only be flushed by injecting liquid, thereby being difficult to realize repeated experiments on the added granular foam and jelly foam.
