致密油藏CO2-EOR技术断层和裂缝再激活的四维地应力演化研究

A FOUR-DIMENSIONAL STUDY ON THE EVOLUTION OF IN-SITU STRESS IN FRACTURED AND FAULTED RESERVOIRS FOR CO2-EOR TECHNOLOGY IN TIGHT OIL RESERVOIRS

  • 摘要: 针对致密油藏CO2驱油与封存(CO2-EOR)协同过程中断层/裂缝再激活风险, 创新性地构建了“CO2-EOR-封存”一体化四维地应力动态演化模型, 揭示了多物理场耦合作用下地质结构的时空响应机制. 通过整合多相渗流、热力学效应与动态地应力场, 引入裂缝拉伸破坏、断层滑移趋势理论, 建立了考虑裂缝扩展与断层滑移的双重地质力学-流动耦合模型, 实现了注入-驱替-封存全周期的四维地应力演化模拟. 以延长油田致密砂岩储层为例, 研究表明: 裂缝再激活呈现“点状扩展-两侧延展-加速贯通-渐进稳定”四阶段特征, 其扩展速率与注入压力呈非线性正相关; 断层再激活受滑移趋势与渗透率传导系数动态控制, 发现在注入CO2生产阶段, 低渗储层中注入流体阈值为12000 ~ 16 000 m3/d. 注入CO2封存阶段, 当注入速率超过6000 m3/d时, 断层出现点状泄漏通道. 研究成果为CO2-EOR安全增效与长期封存提供了理论支撑, 指导形成了“生产期中高速注入-封存期低速稳压”的工程优化方案.

     

    Abstract: To address the risk of reactivation of faults/fractures during the CO2 flooding and storage (CO2-EOR) process in tight oil reservoirs, this study innovatively constructed a four-dimensional dynamic evolution model of geostress for the “CO2-EOR-storage” integrated system, revealing the spatio-temporal response mechanism of geological structures under the coupling effect of multiple physical fields. By integrating multiphase flow, thermodynamic effects, and dynamic geostress fields, and introducing the theories of fracture stretching failure and fault slip trend, a dual geological mechanics-flow coupling model considering fracture expansion and fault slip was established, enabling four-dimensional geostress evolution simulation throughout the injection-displacement-storage cycle. Taking the tight sandstone reservoir in the Yanchang Oilfield as an example, the study shows that the reactivation of fractures presents a four-stage characteristic: “dot-like expansion-extend on both sides-accelerated penetration-gradual stabilization”, and the expansion rate is nonlinearly positively correlated with the injection pressure; the reactivation of faults is controlled by the slip trend and permeability conduction coefficient. It is found that in the low-permeability reservoir during the CO2 injection-production stage, the threshold of injected fluid is 12 000 ~ 16 000 m3/d. During the CO2 injection-storage stage, when the injection rate exceeds 6 000 m3/d, point-like leakage channels appear on the faults. The research results provide theoretical support for the safe and efficient enhancement and long-term storage of CO2-EOR, and have guided the formation of an engineering optimization scheme of “high-speed injection during production period-low-speed pressure stabilization during storage period”.
