A model of regional fluid flow: Sand concentration factors and effective lateral and vertical permeabilities

Permeabilities of sand and shale differ by five to seven orders of magnitude. In the depositional pattern characteristic of the Gulf Coast, lenticular sand bodies occur randomly dispersed within a shale matrix, even though they can be grouped into stratigraphic sequences, contributing to net permeability of the sand-shale system and thus facilitating upward flow of pore water. In addition, a substantial lateral flow develops as fluid flow is directed toward sand bodies, thus concentrating fluid from a wide source area into sand bodies of limited lateral and vertical extent. Calculations reported here determine the effect of randomly distributed sands on both vertical and lateral permeabilities of composite sandshale systems. Effective permeabilities depend only on mean sand percent and local variance about the mean, because the effects of sand body shapes and their orientation and dip are not incorporated in the analysis. Results indicate that at a mean sand percentage of 20–50% a large lateral migration of fluid flow develops as sand bodies attract flow from a region two to seven times the radius of the sand body itself. For a mean sand percentage in excess of 50–60%, large vertical migration results and thus hydrocarbon trapping should not be expected for sand percentages in excess of 50–60%. Results of these calculations are in accord with observations that most larger oil accumulations on the Gulf Coast are found in regions having sandiness between about 20 and 50%.

远安地堑上白垩统红花套组压实剪切型变形带的微观结构与地层渗透性关系解析

孔隙性砂岩中形成的压实剪切型变形带及其周围的渗透性特征是变形带研究的重要内容之一,由于变形带宽度常为毫米级别,常规渗透率测试方法因分辨率的限制无法满足研究需求。选取远安地堑上白垩统红花套组中不同规模的单条变形带、小型及中大型簇状变形带样品,在对其微观结构进行详细研究的基础上,采用具有高分辨率测试功能的AUTOSCAN进行密集测试,建立了连续渗透率剖面。结果显示,渗透率低值点与变形带有显著对应关系,在渗透率线扫描曲线中呈下拉尖峰特征;不同变形带渗透率异常低值点存在差异,变形带厚度大则异常程度高;不同微观结构要素的渗透率降低程度不同,渗透率由低至高依次为：大型簇状变形带的核心碎裂带<小型簇状变形带的核心碎裂带<带间区域<单条变形带核心碎裂带<边缘过渡区<围岩。分析认为,虽然变形带的厚度和渗透率探测孔的大小会影响探测结果,但变形带的微观结构才是控制渗透率降低程度不同的本质原因。中大型簇状变形带的核心碎裂带密集发育且连续性好,很可能对流体渗流、油气运移等造成较大影响;而单条变形带由于延续性较差,很难真正阻碍流体渗流,而是会增强岩石整体的各向异性特征。     

Reverse time migration with Gaussian beams using optimized ray tracing systems in transversely isotropic media

Prestack depth migration is a key technology for imaging complex reservoirs in media with strong lateral velocity variations. Prestack migrations are broadly separated into ray-based and wave-equation-based methods. Because of its efficiency and flexibility, ray-based Kirchhoff migration is popular in the industry. However, it has difficulties in dealing with the multi-arrivals, caustics and shadow zones. On the other hand, wave-equation-based methods produce images superior to that of the ray-based methods, but they are expensive numerically, especially methods based on two-way propagators in imaging large regions. Therefore, reverse time migration algorithms with Gaussian beams have recently been proposed to reduce the cost, as they combine the high computational efficiency of Gaussian beam migration and the high accuracy of reverse time migration. However, this method was based on the assumption that the subsurface is isotropic. As the acquired azimuth and maximum offsets increase, taking into account the influence of anisotropy on seismic migration is becoming more and more crucial. Using anisotropic ray tracing systems in terms of phase velocity, we proposed an anisotropic reverse time migration using the Gaussian beams method. We consider the influence of anisotropy on the propagation direction and calculate the amplitude of Gaussian beams with optimized correlation coefficients in dynamic ray tracing, which simplifies the calculations and improves the applicability of the proposed method. Numerical tests on anisotropic models demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method, which can be used to image complex structures in the presence of anisotropy in the overburden.     

伊拉克A油田白垩系孔隙型生屑灰岩高渗透层成因及分布特征

伊拉克A油田白垩系孔隙型碳酸盐岩高渗透储层具有分布普遍、类型复杂、成因多样等特征。岩石类型主要为泥晶生屑砂屑灰岩、亮晶生屑砂屑灰岩及泥晶生屑灰岩;生物扰动加剧了碳酸盐岩储层非均质性,导致高渗透储层在全油田广泛分布。通过岩心观察、常规薄片和铸体薄片的观察和测量,孔隙度、渗透率和毛管压力的测定,综合区域地质研究成果,发现高渗层的形成受层序演化、次级相对海平面变化、沉积环境、硬底形成、生物扰动及(准)同生期暴露淋滤等复杂多因素共同控制。高渗透储层形成模式表现为Khasib组沉积时期为晚高位域期,在Kh2-1-2L段上部沉积过程中,发生首次次级相对海平面下降,形成沉积间断。沉积间断期间硬底和区域规模性的生物扰动同时发育,在Kh2-1-2L段硬底尚未被胶结的相对疏松的基质中掘穴,形成厚几十厘米、迂曲状互相贯通的生物扰动通道。沉积间断结束后,在晚期高位域层序背景下,次级相对海平面上升,松散生屑砂屑充填扰动通道。由于沉积物堆积速率较快,限制了胶结作用的发生,使扰动通道内充填物能够发育连通性好的粒间孔,而后次级相对海平面再次下降,发生(准)同生期暴露淋滤。由于扰动部位连通性好,成为溶蚀流体优势通道,导致沿扰动部位发育溶孔及扩溶缝,形成了“粒间孔+溶孔+溶缝”高渗透网络。A油田高渗透储层物性表现出发育强烈生物扰动的部位具有明显高渗特征,其孔喉较粗,排驱压力低,孔喉配位数高、连通性好。高渗层全区稳定发育,由西至东厚度逐渐增大,高渗层的分布对油田单井产量、含水上升和油田采出程度影响较大。     

混合型缓冲材料砌块渗透性及其各向异性研究

缓冲材料砌块具备良好的防渗性能,是保证高放废物处置库封闭性的关键。缓冲材料砌块经单轴加载挤压成型,块体尺寸大,测试与评价其渗透性能的均匀性和各向异性,对缓冲屏障设计具有重要价值。研究制备不同干密度的混合型缓冲材料砌块,定向切割获得砌块内部不同位置、不同方向的小试样,开展刚性壁和柔性壁渗透试验,综合评价了混合型缓冲砌块不同方向的水力传导系数。研究结果表明：砌块干密度越大,砌块的水力传导系数越低。所有砌块的水力传导系数均处于10?10 cm/s数量级,沿砌块z、?、r方向的水力传导系数基本相等,表明砌块渗透性具有良好的均匀性和各向同性,且满足高放缓冲材料防渗要求。两种试验方法获得的渗透结果差异较小,柔性壁渗透条件下砌块产生10%～20%的体积膨胀,导致其水力传导系数略大于刚性壁下的平行试样。引入CT试验,分析了渗透前后砌块的微观特性变化。试验证实,在饱和渗透之后,以CT值显示的砌块密度分布趋于均匀,砌块内部存在的微裂隙愈合消失。     

陈化污泥理化特性对泥饼渗透性的影响研究

开展陈化污泥渗透特性研究对于填埋库污泥脱水减量作业具有重要指导意义。选取了8种不同陈化条件下的污泥,开展了压缩排水试验,测定了陈化污泥上清液中可溶性有机物含量和类型,以及陈化污泥聚合体粒径分布与滤液的Zeta电位,并通过皮尔逊相关性分析研究了陈化污泥各物理化学特性间的相互作用。结果表明,随着上清液中可溶性有机物含量的减少、相对腐质化程度的增高与滤液Zeta电位绝对值的增大,陈化污泥的可渗透性增大。同时,当陈化污泥聚合体趋于稳定和粒径增大时,包裹在聚合体中的有机物不易释放到上清液中,陈化污泥可渗透性增大。另外,由于陈化环境的影响,陈化污泥总有机含量变化与上清液中有机物含量变化缺乏一致性,依据陈化污泥有机质含量判断渗透性会造成错误。最后,建立了陈化污泥比阻的影响模型,对于预处理过程中如何改善陈化污泥渗透性具有参考意义。     

基于CT三维重建的注水煤岩体裂隙扩展规律研究

针对煤层注水防尘过程中注水压力设置不合理、注水渗流效果差等问题,采用CT扫描技术与RFPA软件相结合的方法,构建了可以表征注水煤岩体内部孔裂隙结构的三维细观非均匀渗流损伤数值模型。通过对经过CT三维重构的煤岩模型进行不同注水压力的渗流损伤模拟,研究了煤层注水压力对煤样的渗流破坏、渗透率演化及声发射特性变化的影响;并通过对重构的煤岩模型进行缩放处理,研究了煤岩尺寸对煤样的渗流破坏和声发射变化的影响。研究结果表明：在煤样微观裂隙扩展过程中,随着注水压力的递增,煤样损伤单元数、渗流运动的渗流场分布范围、渗透率、声发射数目和能量总体呈上升趋势,局部范围内有波动发生,发生波动的原因是由于渗流运动的渗流场与煤样裂隙内部应力场发生临界反应,致使煤样破坏单元位置发生改变;煤样渗透率由3.82×10−5 μm2上升至0.314 μm2,孔隙率由5.45%上升至48.45%,揭示了煤岩体裂隙总体上随注水压力增大而不断扩展贯通,局部上随注水压力增大而扩展趋势有所下降的影响规律;随着煤样尺寸的增加,注水破坏后煤样的孔隙率呈现先下降后逐渐平稳的趋势,声发射特性变化趋势正好与之相反,表明煤样的尺寸对注水煤岩渗流破坏有显著影响,但当煤样尺寸超过40 mm时,煤样尺寸对注水煤岩渗流破坏的影响趋于稳定。CT扫描技术与RFPA软件相结合的方法能够有效模拟注水煤岩的裂隙渗流扩展行为。     

含橡胶纤维钙质砂的渗透和固结特性试验研究

珊瑚岛礁常年处于复杂的海洋动力环境中,岛上堤坝围堰、基坑等构筑物的地基渗透变形甚至破坏会导致地基承载力失效的可能性变高。为探究橡胶纤维固化钙质砂的渗透特性和固结特性,采用常水头渗透试验和固结试验研究不同纤维含量下钙质砂的渗透规律和固结变形规律,并设置含纤维玻璃珠对照组。钙质砂具有颗粒形状极不规则、多棱角、内孔隙多等特点,为进一步研究颗粒形状的影响,采用高速动态图像粒度分析仪对钙质砂和玻璃珠的颗粒形状和粒径进行分析。试验结果表明,纤维含量对钙质砂试样渗透特性几乎无影响,但是含纤维玻璃珠试样中,随着纤维含量的增加,渗透系数先增加后减小。由于形状不规则橡胶纤维的加入,一定程度上填补了钙质砂之间的孔隙;钙质砂试样存在 800 kPa 的压力阈值,当压力超过800 kPa后,其压缩模量增幅变缓;不同纤维含量试样的e-lg p曲线可以用Harris模型表示,钙质砂组的材料系数 C= 5,玻璃珠组材料系数C= 3,此外,材料参数a、b与纤维含量有较好的线性关系。提出了合理的预测模型指导地基加固,具有十分重要的理论价值与工程实际意义。
