致密油藏含水条件下二氧化碳与短链烷烃竞争吸附特征的分子模拟

    Molecular simulation of competitive adsorption of CO2 and short-chain alkanes under water containing conditions in tight oil reservoirs

    • 摘要: 致密储层因渗透率低、孔隙度小、微纳米孔隙广泛发育的特点,水驱开发效果差,采用CCUS-EOR技术可以在提高原油采收率的同时实现CO2在油藏的地质封存。目前,关于CO2封存机理的研究一般以咸水层封存机理为主,对致密油藏含水条件下CO2驱油过程中的吸附封存机理研究较少。针对以上问题,本文基于分子模拟方法采用羟基化石英晶胞构建致密油藏孔隙壁面模型,分别建立CO2、原油短链烷烃及水的流体组分模型,研究了含水条件下CO2和原油短链烷烃的竞争吸附特征。结果表明,含水条件下,CO2和CH4、CO2和C2H6竞争吸附时的各组分吸附等温线均符合第I类吸附等温线,CO2的绝对吸附量、过剩吸附量和吸附热均大于CH4和C2H6。CO2和原油短链烷烃在石英壁面的吸附属于物理吸附。模拟条件下,水分子数目对CO2的吸附量影响较大,对CH4的吸附量影响较小。CO2占比增大会使其吸附量增大,使CH4吸附量减少。温度的增大会减少CO2和CH4的绝对吸附量。孔隙尺寸的增大会增加CO2和CH4的绝对吸附量和过剩吸附量。壁面矿物类型对CO2和CH4的吸附量影响较大。

       

      Abstract: Tight reservoirs have low permeability, small porosity, and pervasive micro-nano pores, so water flooding has poor development effects. The use of CCUS-EOR (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage-Enhanced Oil Recovery) technology can realize the geological sequestration of CO2 in the reservoir while improving the crude oil recovery efficiency. Currently, research on CO2 sequestration mechanisms focuses mainly on saline aquifer sequestration, with less emphasis on adsorption and sequestration during CO2 flooding in tight oil reservoirs under water containing conditions. To address the above problems, we established a pore wall model for tight reservoirs using hydroxylated quartz cells based on molecular simulation methods, in which the fluid component models of CO2, crude oil short-chain alkanes, and water were contained; and investigated the competitive adsorption characteristics of CO2 and crude oil short-chain alkanes under water containing conditions. Results show that under water containing conditions, the adsorption isotherms of each component during the competitive adsorption of CO2 and CH4, CO2 and C2H6 were in accordance with the class I adsorption isotherm, and the absolute adsorption amount, excess adsorption amount, and heat adsorption of CO2 were larger than those of CH4 and C2H6. The adsorption of CO2 and crude oil short-chain alkanes on the quartz wall was physical. Under simulation conditions, the number of water molecules had a significant impact on the adsorption amount of CO2 and a relatively small impact on the adsorption amount of CH4. The increase in the proportion of CO2 increased CO2 adsorption amount but decreased CH4 adsorption amount. The increase of temperature reduced the absolute adsorption amount of CO2 and CH4. The increase of pore size increased the absolute and excess adsorption amounts of both CO2 and CH4. The type of wall mineral showed a significant impact on the adsorption capacity of CO2 and CH4.
