Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of the determination of a damage of a geological formation element capable of modeling a rock-type material undergoing structural evolutions such as deformations, fissures, fragmentations with interactions between the fragments, in the research and exploitation of hydrocarbon, liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons derived from kerogen pyrolysis.
- the moderated material is, for example, an oil shale which is a heterogeneous material made up of parent rock (also called kerogen) and mineral matter.
- the kerogen may be subjected to natural or induced pyrolysis, during which it is partially converted into hydrocarbons, liquid and gaseous, associated with other chemical compounds such as CC3 ⁇ 4 ; H 2 0, etc.
- Such kerogen phase changes mainly by release of gas under pressure, generate significant stresses in the material and are the source of deformation, cracking and fragmentation of the material.
- Damage modeling of a material undergoing such structural evolutions in a given geological formation is useful in the research and production of hydrocarbons or gases in oil shale because it allows estimation the effect of an induced pyrolysis on the kerogen contained in the formation, and thus its available resources associated with said formation, the future production and, therefore, the economic value of the field.
- Continuous approaches take into account the behavior of the different phases of the material and the physics of the problem in the form of constitutive laws formulated in partial differential equations. Finite element solving methods solve these equations.
- the disadvantages of continuous approaches are numerous when one seeks apply them to heterogeneous materials such as oil shale. These approaches require an extremely fine maiilage to be able to take into account the microstructural heterogeneities of the oil shales and thus a consequent computation time.
- the constitutive laws in the finite elements can not respond correctly to the problem of damage to materials as soon as phenomena such as the opening and the propagation of cracks play a predominant role, which is particularly the case. during the structural evolution of oil shale.
- Discrete approaches have been developed for the purpose of modeling non-cohesive divided materials such as granular materials.
- the material is described as a collection of rigid and independent bodies, the particles, which interact with each other through force laws connecting the contact force to a deformation variable associated with the contact (defined through degrees of stiffness of the particles).
- the evolution of the system is then obtained by integrating the equations of motion. Interactions considered, such as ia cohesion, ie contact or friction ie, differ ies methods, their locations and the intended application.
- Discrete approaches are grouped together under the name "DEM", an English acronym for "Discrete Element Method", as opposed to finite element methods. DEM methods are generally unsuitable for modeling continuous materials.
- the deformation and damage of the particles are not considered and the propagation of the cracks is done only by the rupture of the cohesive bonds and by bypassing the particles.
- the overall behavior of the material is the result of a large number of particle-scale interactions.
- the mechanical properties of the material are therefore resulting properties and can not be directly introduced into the discrete formulation as is the case in continuous methods.
- the use of spherical shaped particles offers optimal numerical performance because of the ease of contact management but introduces an artificial vacuum phase into the material.
- the use of other forms of particles requires the management of more complex contacts and therefore a longer calculation time.
- the initial geometrical configuration of the discrete domain can have a great impact on the mechanical behavior of the material and the phenomena such as the propagation of cracks along preferential paths or the non-uniform diffusion of elastic waves can be observed.
- lattice model A third approach has been proposed to overcome these disadvantages, called lattice model.
- the material is not represented by a set of virtual elements, as in the continuous approach, or by a set of rigid bodies extended in contact, as in the discrete approach, but by a distribution of points , nodes, interconnected by laws of interaction, links. Only local laws, such as the balance of forces and moments, are considered, and their implementation is done at each node connected to a limited and defined number of neighbors.
- the links that connect the nodes make it possible to model the mechanical behavior of the different geological phases of the material and usually have a fragile elastic rheological behavior characterized by a stiffness related to the elastic modulus of the geological phase in question and a force rupture threshold linked to the breaking stress of said geological phase.
- the formation of cracks in the geological model is then taken into account through the removal of links between nodes when a force applied to a link is greater than a threshold value of link strength.
- this method has drawbacks and does not allow to model satisfactorily the damage of the geological model beyond the simple opening of a crack.
- the two nodes originally connected by said link, and then forming the two lips of the fissure do not interact more with each other.
- This method is thus not able to simulate the propagation of cracks, deformations of the material, multiple cracks and fragmentation with interactions between the fragments of the material.
- the present invention improves the situation.
- the present invention proposes to use a mixed approach based on network discretization and on molecular dynamics to model the mechanical behavior and damage of a geological model.
- the present invention therefore provides a method of determining a damage of a geological model, said geologic model having a plurality of nodes and a plurality of links, each link of the plurality of links interconnecting two nodes of the plurality node.
- the method comprises the steps, - for each link of the plurality of links:
- each contact between spheres of the plurality of contacts between spheres associating two contact spheres among the plurality of spheres of contact.
- Spheres of contact are bodies with a certain spatial extension and able to interact in pairs by contact interactions: the “contacts between spheres”.
- the neighbors of each sphere of contact, with which said sphere of contact interacts are not determined a priori but can evolve in time according to the damage of the geological model.
- the method may comprise
- the normal component of the interaction force is a component proportional to an interpenetration distance of the two contact spheres associated by said contact between spheres
- the tangential component of the interaction force is a component of direction opposite to a tangential relative displacement of the two contact spheres associated by said contact between spheres and of modulus proportional to said tangential relative displacement.
- a stiffness value, a force threshold value and a reference length value are associated with each link of the plurality of links, said stiffness values and force threshold values being determined from elastic modulus values E and tensile strength threshold values ⁇ of at least one geological phase modeled by the geological model.
- the links of the plurality of links and the nodes of the plurality of nodes are arranged in a regular disordered network, preferably in a network such as a statistical distribution of reference length values or a statistical disiribuiion of stiffness values, associated with the links of the plurality of links, is a unimodal statistical distribution,
- the method further comprises the steps,
- determining a spatial position for each node of the plurality of nodes includes either minimizing a potential energy of the geologic model, or integrating a plurality of motion equations associated with the nodes.
- a first plurality of nodes among the plurality of nodes of the geological model is associated with a first geological phase modeled by the model geological
- a second plurality of nodes among the plurality of nodes of the geological model is associated with a second geological phase modeled by the geological model;
- a plurality of first geological phase links among its plurality of links of the geological model consists of links of the geological model;
- plurality of links connecting together two nodes of the first plurality of nodes, at each link among the plurality of first geological phase links is associated a geological first phase stiffness value and a geological first phase force threshold value determined from elastic modulus values E and tensile strength threshold values ⁇ of the first geological phase modeled by the geological model,
- a plurality of second geological phase links among the plurality of links of the geological model is constituted by links of the plurality of links connecting together two nodes of the second plurality of nodes, at each link among the plurality of second geological phase links is associated a geological second phase stiffness value and a second geological phase force threshold value determined from elastic modulus values E and tensile strength threshold values ⁇ of the second geological phase modeled by the geological model, and
