低渗砂岩储层渗透率各向异性规律的实验研究

应用1摩尔/升的盐水作为孔隙介质,采用液体压力脉冲法对采自鄂尔多斯盆地某油田三叠系延长组低渗砂岩样品进行了渗透率随有效应力的变化规律实验研究.在围压0～100MPa,孔隙压力0～12MPa范围内,样品的渗透率变化范围在0～60×10-18 m2之间,实验结果表明样品的渗透率随有效应力的增加而减少.通过拟合实验结果,得到渗透率随有效应力的变化规律较好的符合幂函数关系,相关系数介于0.903～0.984之间.同时对同一样品的X,Y,Z相互垂直三个方向的渗透率随有效应力的变化进行了比较,结果表明渗透率的各向异性同样是压力的函数,且随着有效应力的增加,不同平面内的渗透率各向异性表现出了不同的变化规律.但在实验压力范围内,渗透率各向异性皆为正值,表明在有效应力为100MPa范围内孔隙内流体的流动方向未发生改变.研究结果为鄂尔多斯盆地低渗(超低渗)油气田开发,特别是对深部油气田开发过程中开发方式的选择与设计,充分利用渗透率各向异性的特点,提高采收率提供了新的岩石物性资料.     

围压对低渗砂岩渗透率有效应力系数的影响

多孔岩石渗透率有效应力系数的取值至今仍没有一致的认识,影响取值的因素较为复杂.为了探索围压对低渗砂岩渗透率有效应力系数的影响,实验上采用较大的围压范围(10MPa～50MPa),选取两块低渗致密砂岩岩样,进行渗透率测试,并利用二元线性回归方法,计算了不同围压组合下的渗透率有效应力系数值,获取了该系数随围压的变化趋势.实验中,两块岩样的渗透率有效应力系数随围压的增加而减小,但各自的减小趋势略有不同.利用Bernabé和Berryman提出的模型,理论上解释了围压对渗透率有效应力系数的影响,并得到渗透率有效应力系数的下限值为岩样孔隙度.尽管渗透率有效应力系数不是一个常数,但可以表示为压差的函数,进而起到简化分析的作用.     

含裂面岩石渗透率的实验研究

本文在实验室中采用定常压力差法在围压10—20MPP、注水压力为2.5—12.SMPS条件下对新丰江水库区花岗岩及刘家峡水库区变质岩进行了渗透实验,观测到了岩石渗透率随围压、注水压力及时间变化的结果,并且得到了渗透率随时间衰减的经验关系l。(t)=k。XEXP(一、t)。实验结果表明:完整岩石、自然裂而中含填充物岩石、自然裂面岩石的渗透率依次增大两个数量级。在实验中,恒定注水压力时渗透率明显地随着围压的增大而减小,当国压变化发生循环时,渗透率产生了不可恢复的减小;当恒定因压时,渗透率随着注水压力的变化取决于流体水对裂面的冲刷、溶解及沉淀堵塞作用而不可预测。最后根据该实验结果讨论了水库地震中水沿断裂系统渗透过程中渗透水的前锋形成高孔隙压力而触发地震的机制。

汶川地震断层岩气体和液体渗透率实验研究

以N2和水为孔隙流体在20-180 MPa围压范围内详细测量了汶川地震断裂带断层岩的渗透率,并同时测量了作为参照的砂岩的渗透率.实验结果表明,气体和液体渗透率均随围压增加而幂次衰减.在相同围压和孔隙压条件下,N2渗透率高于水渗透率接近1个数量级.将Klinkenberg效应校正后的气体渗透率（绝对渗透率）与水渗透率进行了比较.对比结果显示,砂岩的绝对渗透率与水渗透率基本一致;但断层岩绝对渗透率显著高于水渗透率,表明断层岩气体渗透率与水渗透率之差别不能完全由Klinkenberg效应解释.对实验数据的拟合分析表明,滑脱因子b值与绝对渗透率kl存在幂律关系（b=λkld）.断层岩符合b=0.2×10–3kl–0.557关系（R2=0.998）,显示绝对渗透率在10^–16-10^–20 m2范围内,控制断层岩渗透率的因素是一致的.另一方面,断层岩的d值明显小于砂岩的d值,暗示二者的滑脱效应存在差异.分析表明,断层岩中的粘土矿物颗粒表面吸附水及粘土矿物吸水膨胀导致有效孔隙尺寸减小是造成断层岩渗透率显著低于绝对渗透率的主要原因.研究结果显示,对于富含粘土矿物的断层岩,经Klinkenberg校正后的气体渗透率与水渗透率并不一致,因此采用相应的液体作为测量介质才能够更为准确和真实地揭示地下流体的渗流状况.     

非线性有效压力计算

根据Robin关于有效压力的定义,结合Bernabé推测的孔隙压p_p和围压p_c图中的渗透率等值线变化形态,提出了一种新的非线性渗透率有效压力计算方法.用新方法和Bernabé切线有效压力计算方法对以往和本次实验的12块低渗岩芯的实验数据进行了处理分析,结果表明新方法和Bernabé方法计算得到的有效压力在p_p和p_c图中的渗透率等值线为直线时才相等.当等值线为曲线时,二者计算得到的有效压力不一样.新方法计算出的测试点的有效压力与渗透率的关系表现出更好的一一对应关系.为了进一步验证文章计算有效压力方法的有效性,用指数和乘幂两种函数分别拟合二种有效压力计算方法得到的有效压力与渗透率之间的关系.拟合结果表明,新方法得到的有效压力与渗透率的拟合效果优于用Bernabé方法计算得到的有效压力与渗透率拟合效果.

静水条件下砂岩渗透性的试验研究

在TRIAXIAL CELL V3岩石三轴伺服试验机上进行了砂岩的渗透试验,采用流量法测量不同围压和渗透压作用下的砂岩渗透率,揭示了围压和渗透压对砂岩渗透率的影响规律,并给出了围压与渗透率的拟合关系式。结果表明,在相同围压下,随着渗透压差的增加,砂岩渗透率呈不同程度的增加;围压越小,渗透压差对渗透率的影响越大;当渗透压差相同时,砂岩围压一渗透率曲线变化趋势基本一致,渗透率随围压的增加而减小,显示砂岩内部裂隙的闭合程度受围压的影响较明显。     

不同围压和流体饱和状态下致密砂岩弹性各向异性特征

为研究致密砂岩声波速度及其各向异性随围压的变化规律以及不同流体饱和状态下的弹性各向异性特征,钻取了不同方向的岩心并在实验室超声波频率下对致密砂岩的声学特性进行了测量,分别给出干燥和饱和水状态下,不同方向样品纵横波速度、刚性系数以及各向异性系数随围压的变化规律,并对实验结果进行了分析讨论.实验结果表明致密砂岩纵横波速度、纵横波速度比以及刚性系数均随围压增加而增加,但其在不同饱和状态下的变化率却截然不同;纵横波速度比、各向异性系数在饱和水状态下变化规律不明显,表明孔隙流体的存在对于岩石物理性质有着非常重要的影响.这方面的实验工作不但对于考察不同流体性质对致密岩石弹性各向异性影响是必要的,而且有助于致密砂岩油水和气层的识别.     

应力对岩石中孔隙流体压力的影响和地下水位震前异常变化机理.

在不同的围压和初始孔隙压力作用下,对孔隙岩石试件进行了不排液的三轴压缩试验,观测了轴向应变和孔隙压力随差应力的变化.试验结果表明:在低差应力下,孔隙压力随差应力的增加而增加.在中等和高差应力下孔隙压力随差应力的增加而降低.在高差应力下,孔隙压力也会随差应力的大幅度降低而升高.基于上述试验,假定地下水位的震前异常变化是地壳岩石中差应力变化的反映.根据这种假定解释了唐山大震前震中及外围地区地下水位异常变化的特征.      

Experimental studies on gas and water permeability of fault rocks from the rupture of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake,China

The permeabilities of fault rocks from the rupture of Wenchuan earthquake were measured by using nitrogen gas and distilled water as pore fluids under the confining pressure ranging from 20 to 180 MPa at room temperature. Experimental results indicate that both gas and water permeabilities decrease with increasing confining pressure, described by power law relationship, i.e., b = 0.2×10–3kl–0.557. The water permeability is about one order less than gas permeability and also half order smaller than the permeability corrected by the Klinkenberg effect, so-called intrinsic permeability. The differences in the permeabilies imply that the reduction of effective pore size caused by the adhesion of water molecules to clay particle surface and water-swelling of expandable clay minerals contributes to lessening the water permeability besides the Klinkenberg effect. Hence, the liquid permeability of fault rocks cannot be deduced by gas permeability by the Klinkenberg correction reliably and accurately, and it is necessary to use liquid as pore media to measure their transport property directly.     

Poisson's ratio at high pore pressure

Laboratory investigations suggest that a precise relationship exists between Poisson's ratio, pore pressure and fluid type. Values of Poisson's ratio for dry samples are significantly smaller than those for fluid-saturated samples. The values are anomalously high for high pore pressure, with the possibility of differentiating between gas-saturated, brine-saturated and oil-saturated porous rocks.
The present study considers two overpressure models, based on oil/gas conversion and disequilibrium compaction, to obtain Poisson's ratio versus differential pressure (confining pressure minus pore pressure). The model results are in good agreement with experiments. Poisson's ratio is approximately constant at high differential pressures and increases (decreases) for saturated (dry) rocks at low differential pressures. Fluid type can be determined at all differential pressures from Poisson's ratio. The analysis is extended to the anisotropic case by computing the three Poisson's ratios of a transversely isotropic rock versus differential pressure. While one of them is practically independent of effective pressure, the others increase with increasing pore pressure. Experiments performed on cores under different pressure conditions, and calibration of the models with these data, provide a tool for inverting pore pressure from seismic data.     

Permeability hysterisis of limestone during isotropic compression

The evolution of permeability hysterisis in Indiana Limestone during application of isotropic confining pressures up to 60 MPa was measured by conducting one-dimensional constant flow rate tests. These tests were carried out either during monotonic application of the confining pressure or during loading-partial unloading cycles. Irreversible permeability changes occurred during both monotonic and repeated incremental compression of the limestone. Mathematical relationships are developed for describing the evolution of path-dependent permeability during isotropic compression.     

不同温压条件下蛇纹岩和角闪岩中波速与衰减的各向异性

在实验室中研究了蛇纹岩和角闪岩样品在不同温压条件下的纵、横波速度和Q值．这两种岩样对应的主要组成矿物叶蛇纹石和普通角闪石都具有很强的晶格优选方位（LPO）．随着围压的增加,波速和Q值均增大,但是在相互正交的三个方向上（垂直或平行于层理面及线理方向）增大的速度并不相同,这与微裂隙的逐渐闭合密切相关．在600MPa的围压下升高温度直到600℃以上,由于微裂隙的热扩张受到约束,波速和Q值下降幅度很小．观测到的波速和Q值的各向异性具有不同的机理,波速各向异性主要与定向分布的微裂隙和主要矿物的LPO等构造因素有关;高围压下纵波Q值各向异性与速度各向异性正好相反,可能是由于形成层理面的定向排列的平板状矿物晶体沿不同方向边界之间接触程度不同造成的．     

贮灰场子坝粉煤灰动力特性试验研究

贮灰场子坝冲填粉煤灰的动力特性是评估挡灰坝在地震作用下动力稳定性的关键因素。为探究冲填粉煤灰的动力变形和强度特性,利用液压控制振动三轴试验仪测试饱和沉积灰和冲填灰两类试样在偏压固结条件下的动应力-动应变关系、动强度、阻尼比和动孔隙水压力。结果表明:试样骨干曲线均表现出应变硬化特征,可近似描述为双曲线型关系。此外,循环振次增大导致试样动强度降低,且主要与动黏聚力降低有关,受内摩擦角影响较小。双对数坐标轴下,无量纲处理后的阻尼比与动剪切模量近似呈线性关系,且与围压关系不显著。不同围压下动孔压水平随破坏振次增大仅在较窄范围内变化,为简便计算,可忽略围压和循环振次对动孔压水平的影响。据此,可采用Finn公式描述偏压固结下粉煤灰试样的动孔隙水压力特征。     

Seismic-frequency Laboratory Measurements of Shear Mode Viscoelasticity in Crustal Rocks II: Thermally Stressed Quartzite and Granite

—Forced torsional oscillation techniques have been used to explore the seismic-frequency shear mode viscoelasticity of specimens of two crustal rocks (Cape Sorell quartzite and Delegate aplite), cycled between room temperature and 700°C under conditions of moderate confining pressure. The anisotropy and intergranular inhomogeneity of thermal expansivity in these materials give rise to large deviatoric stresses, resulting in thermal cracking at temperatures above a pressure-dependent threshold temperature, associated with the onset of very pronounced temperature sensitivity of the shear modulus, in general accord with the predictions of fracture mechanics models. For Delegate aplite in particular, the shear modulus behaves reproducibly during multiple thermal cycles at different confining pressures, consistent with the notion that the thermal cracks are of low aspect ratio (minimum/maximum dimension), and are therefore readily closed by the prevailing confining pressure once the thermal stresses are removed. Marked frequency-dependent dissipation of shear strain energy is observed on heating each rock to temperatures ≥ 500°C, although the attenuation varies significantly with prior thermal history, probably as a result of progressive dehydration and relaxation of deviatoric stresses. Temperature and pressure dependent crack densities for Delegate aplite have been estimated by comparison of the observed shear moduli with those expected for a crack-free aggregate. In parallel with the forced oscillation tests, measurements have been made of the rate at which (argon) pore pressure equilibrium is re-established following a perturbation. Combination of these results, which provide a proxy for permeability, with the inferred crack densities indicates that the variation of permeability with crack density is well described by a percolation model with a threshold crack density of ～0.2.     

裂缝-孔隙介质储层渗透率表征及其影响因素分析

含裂缝多孔介质渗透率预测是非常规油气资源勘探开发的一个紧迫问题.现有多孔介质岩石物理模型通常利用圆形孔管模拟宏观岩石孔隙空间,难以定量描述软孔隙/裂缝在压力作用下的闭合情况,缺乏裂缝/孔隙间流量交换的连通机制.本文提出含三维裂缝/软孔隙网络多孔介质模型,将储层岩石裂缝/软孔隙表示为椭圆截面微管,建立了周期性压力作用下微观裂缝流量表达式,通过网络模型和流量守恒条件,得到含有三维裂缝/软孔隙网络的多孔介质渗透率计算方法.数值算例表明,预测结果与实验数据分布范围吻合很好,能够给出不同类型岩心对应孔隙纵横比的分布图.三维裂缝/软孔隙网络模型建立了宏观可观测量与裂缝参数之间关系,能够定量分析岩石渗透率随裂缝体密度、纵横比、孔隙流体类型和围压等因素的变化规律,为复杂条件下储层渗透率预测提供了一种有效方法.
