基于数字岩心的岩石电性微观数值模拟(英文)

本文利用x射线CT获取反映岩心微观结构的三维数字岩心，利用数学形态学中的开运算模拟了岩石的油驱水排驱过程中，不同含水饱和度下油和地层水在孔隙空间中的分布。利用有限元方法计算了岩石电阻率，进而得到岩石地层因素和电阻率指数，并考查了岩石润湿性对岩石电阻率指数的影响。数值模拟结果表明：基于数字岩心的水湿岩石地层因素和电阻率指数数值模拟结果与实验结果一致，拓展了岩石电阻率实验的能力；岩石润湿性对岩石电性有重要影响，在相同含水饱和度下，油湿岩石电阻率高于水湿岩石电阻率，油湿岩石饱和度指数远大于水湿岩石饱和度指数。

Numerical simulation of rock electrical properties based on digital cores

In this paper, we obtained three dimensional digital cores using X-ray CT to describe the rock microstructure and applied the open morphology algorithm to simulate oil and formation water distribution in the pore space at different water saturations during the oil-displacing water flood process. The resistivity, formation factor, and resistivity index of rocks were calculated using the finite element method (FEM) and we studied the effect of rock wettability on electrical properties. The numerical simulation results indicate that the simulated formation factor and resistivity index of the water wet rock agrees well with experiments over the whole range of water saturation and extends the traditional resistivity experiment. The rock wettablilty has a large influence on the rock resistivity index. The resistivity and saturation exponent of oil wet rock are obviously larger than three of water wet rock.
