基于LBM的油气藏开发流固共轭传热微观机理研究

MICROSCOPIC MECHANISM RESEARCH ON FLUID-SOLID CONJUGATE HEAT TRANSFER IN OIL & GAS DEVELOPMENT BASED ON LATTICE BOLTZMANN METHOD

  • 摘要: 多孔介质内的流固共轭传热现象在地热开发、稠油热采、水合物热激开发等能源利用过程中广泛存在. 由于流体的导热性质和岩石的导热性质差异较大, 主要传热方式不同, 流固界面处的传热机制十分复杂. 为从微观本质上认清储层多孔介质内的共轭传热机理, 建立了考虑流固共轭传热的格子玻尔兹曼(LBM)模拟方法, 分析了共轭传热特征和储层能量变化规律, 并探究了岩石、流体性质和多孔介质结构对传热效果的影响. 模拟结果表明: 在局部非热平衡条件下, 佩克莱数降低或热扩散系数比增大有利于注入能量在储层内得到有效利用; 而在相同注入能量下, 岩石与流体吸收的能量均随佩克莱数与热扩散系数比增大而增加; 热损失随顶底层岩石导热系数增大和储层有效厚度减小而加剧; 储层有效导热系数随孔隙度和界面粗糙度增大而减小, 随岩石/流体导热系数比增大而增大; 注入介质中加入泡沫可使热前缘推进更加均匀, 加入氮气可减小储层上部有效导热系数以实现保温. 本研究可为油气藏开发中注入工艺优化、储层保温策略制定及注入介质优选等提供理论依据, 对提高能源开发效益具有重要意义.

     

    Abstract: Fluid-solid conjugate heat transfer in porous media is a phenomenon widely encountered in energy exploitation processes, including geothermal development, thermal recovery of heavy oil, and thermal stimulation of gas hydrates. Due to significant disparities in the thermal properties of fluids and rocks, as well as differences in their dominant heat transfer modes, the heat transfer mechanism at the fluid-solid interface is highly complex. To elucidate the microscopic mechanism of conjugate heat transfer within reservoir porous media, a lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) simulation framework incorporating fluid-solid conjugate heat transfer was established. This study analyzes conjugate heat transfer characteristics and reservoir energy variation laws, while investigating the impacts of rock and fluid properties, as well as porous media structure, on heat transfer performance. The simulation results indicate that under conditions of local thermal non-equilibrium, a decrease in the Peclet number or an increase in the thermal diffusivity ratio facilitates the effective utilization of injected energy within the reservoir. Conversely, under identical injected energy conditions, the energy absorbed by both the rock matrix and the fluid increases with an increasing Peclet number and thermal diffusivity ratio. Heat loss is exacerbated by an increase in the thermal conductivity of the cap and base rocks and a decrease in the effective thickness of the reservoir. Furthermore, the effective thermal conductivity of the reservoir decreases with increasing porosity and interface roughness but increases with a higher rock-to-fluid thermal conductivity ratio. The addition of foam to the injection medium promotes more uniform thermal front propagation, while the introduction of nitrogen reduces the effective thermal conductivity in the upper reservoir, thereby achieving thermal insulation. This study provides a theoretical basis and technical support for injection process optimization, reservoir insulation strategies development, and injection medium selection in oil & gas development, which is of great significance for improving the efficiency and profitability.
