Description

Method for strengthening thickened oil thermal recovery by using non-condensate gas composite aquathermolysis catalyst
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of thickened oil exploitation, in particular to a method for strengthening thickened oil thermal exploitation by using a non-condensate gas composite aquathermolysis catalyst.
Background
The thick oil has abundant reserves worldwide and wide distribution, is an important oil and gas resource, and has the global asphalt and thick oil resource quantity of 9380 multiplied by 10 according to statistics 8 t. With the increasingly outstanding contradiction between oil and gas supply and demand, the exploitation ratio of thick oil will be gradually increased, and the method has wide development prospect. The thick oil has extremely high molecular weight, the viscosity is generally more than 100 mPa.s, the thick oil is difficult to flow in a stratum, and the development difficulty is huge. Because the viscosity of the heavy oil has extremely strong sensitivity to temperature, the heavy oil reservoir is developed by adopting thermal modes such as steam huff and puff, SAGD, steam flooding, in-situ combustion and the like. The steam injection development process has obvious advantages in the initial exploitation of thick oil, but has poor long-term enhanced recovery effect in the development process; serious heat loss of steam and energyThe consumption is high; poor quality after exploitation, high post-processing cost and the like.
The thermal recovery and the hydrothermal cracking technology are combined, and the in-situ modification of the thick oil in the oil layer by utilizing heat energy is a research hot spot in the field of thick oil exploitation at present, and the working principle is as follows: the cracking catalyst injected into stratum catalyzes the cracking of C-S, C-N, C-H bonds and other heavy components in thick oil under the action of steam heat, can irreversibly reduce the viscosity of thick oil, and improves the mobility of crude oil in pores and the quality of produced oil. The technology not only ensures sustainable development of the thickened oil, but also reduces the processing cost of the thickened oil in the later stage. Chinese patent document CN 104695918A (application No. 201310646793. X) discloses a thickened oil low-down-modification viscosity-reduction oil extraction method, in which a hydrothermal cracking catalyst is dispersed in steam and then injected into a stratum, so that the extraction period is remarkably prolonged. Chinese patent CN 104314525A (application No. 201410475179.6) discloses a fire flooding oil recovery method using oleic acid for in-situ modification, and after oleic acid slugs are continuously injected into an oil layer through a gas injection well, in-situ combustion oil recovery is performed, so that the properties of the oil product and the recovery ratio of crude oil are improved. In the field of improvement of hydrothermal cracking, the important point is mainly to select or innovate the catalyst (Zhao Xiaoying, chen Yukun, etc.. Research progress of in situ hydrothermal cracking viscosity reduction of thickened oil [ J ]]30-35), such as Chinese patent document CN 115450597A (application No. 202211218711.7), discloses a composite catalyst technology for catalytic co-hydrothermal pyrolysis modification of thick oil lignin and an application method thereof, and provides a novel composite catalyst (Keggin type heteropolyacid catalyst and CeO) 2 A combination of catalysts) to enhance the upgrading effect of the thickened oil.
However, there are still several problems associated with the current methods of application of catalysts for hydrothermal cracking technology:
(1) Although a few aquathermolysis catalysts have good dispersing effect in stratum species, the heating range of pure steam is limited, so that the temperature of a considerable part of areas in the stratum cannot reach aquathermolysis conditions (generally more than 200 ℃), and crude oil modification is difficult to occur in the part of stratum areas containing the catalysts;
(2) The hydrothermal cracking catalyst in nano or particle form is easy to agglomerate and adsorb near the injection well under the influence of interfacial energy, so that the flowing distance of the catalyst in the stratum is limited, the catalyst is difficult to effectively migrate to the target stratum, and the utilization efficiency of the catalyst is low.
Accordingly, there is a need in the art for further research in improving the steam heat application range, hydrothermal cracking catalyst injection/transport capacity, and catalyst utilization efficiency.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art, and provides a method for reinforcing thick oil thermal recovery by using a non-condensate gas composite aquathermolysis catalyst, which is characterized in that a catalyst precursor solution and a mixed fluid of steam and non-condensate gas are sequentially injected into a stratum to ensure that the catalyst is generated in situ in the stratum, and the catalyst is utilized to crack and reduce viscosity of thick oil, so that the problems of catalyst migration and stratum temperature range are solved, and the thermal recovery efficiency of thick oil is greatly improved.

The statistics of the results obtained for each experimental group are shown in the following table.
Table 1 results obtained for each experimental group
As can be seen from the comparison of the data of the experimental group 1 and the experimental group 2, the method provided by the invention effectively solves the problem of catalyst injection by using the injection of the catalyst precursor solution. Compared with injection of steam and nano catalyst solution, the catalyst precursor displacement solution has stronger fluidity, is easier to enter the deep part of the stratum, and the catalyst formed after thermal decomposition can play a role in a high oil saturation level, so that the viscosity of produced crude oil is obviously reduced.
As can be seen from the comparison of the data of the experimental group 1 and the experimental group 3, the method provided by the invention utilizes the characteristic of inhibiting the condensation and the high permeability of the steam of the non-condensate gas, and improves the thermal action range of the steam. Compared with the method for enhancing the steam flooding by using the catalyst alone, the recovery ratio is effectively improved, and the non-condensable gas can be found to have obvious enhancement effect on the deep heat transfer effect of the steam by comparing the temperature data of the temperature measuring points. However, the improvement of the recovery ratio and the reduction of the crude oil viscosity are not obvious, and the catalyst particles do not enter the deep stratum. The mixed fluid in which the non-condensed gas and the steam are mixed can improve the heat application area, but solves the problem of injection of the catalyst particles.
As can be seen from the comparison of the data of the experimental group 2 and the experimental group 4, the method provided by the invention has the advantages that the catalyst is injected into the stratum in the form of the precursor solution, the steam action range is enlarged by combining the non-condensate gas, the utilization efficiency of the catalyst is increased, and the recovery ratio and the crude oil modification effect are effectively improved. According to the data in the table, the crude oil recovery ratio, the temperature field development effect and the reduction degree of the viscosity of the produced crude oil measured by the experimental group 4 are all higher than those of the example 2, which shows that the addition of the non-condensate gas can further improve the heat application range of steam, the migration breadth of the catalyst and provide a better environment for the catalyst to act.
As can be seen from comparison of the data of the experimental group 4 and the experimental group 5, the method provided by the invention needs to consider the time for thermally decomposing the precursor into the catalyst, and the suitable well closing time is 3-5 days. The well closing time provided by the invention can realize a more beneficial development effect on the heavy oil reservoir.
The comparison of the data of the experiment group 4 and the experiment group 6 shows that the hydrogen supply agent is injected while the precursor solution is injected, so that the viscosity reduction of the thick oil can be promoted, the better hydrothermal cracking viscosity reduction effect is realized, and the recovery ratio of the thick oil is improved.
