花岗岩酸岩作用反应动力学研究

化学刺激能够改善增强型地热系统(EGS)热储层裂隙连通情况、提高裂隙渗透率。本文以EGS热储化学刺激为出发点，开展土酸体系 花岗岩作用实验，总结实验规律，明确了酸岩作用机理，建立多矿物耦合反应动力学模型并获取重要参数。得出以下结论：土酸中HF浓度越高，对花岗岩的溶蚀率和溶蚀速率就越大，但更易产生二次沉淀；酸液中离子的浓度与不同矿物溶蚀存在对应关系，Na+和K+分别来自于钠长石和伊利石，Al3+和硅来自长石类和黏土类矿物，Ca2+前期来自方解石，后期受钙长石和氟石影响；土酸 花岗岩反应为双重机制控制下的动力学反应；HF机制下的矿物溶解反应速率常数数量级约为10-4～10-5，比中性机制下的矿物的溶解速率提高了约9个数量级。研究结果可以为EGS储层化学刺激工作提供理论支持。     

FixAl及同位素方法在EGS返排液研究中的应用

增强地热系统(EGS)是开采低渗透率热岩体中热能的技术,属于广义的地热储工程。其中,作为换热介质被注入岩体并在换热后返回地表的返排液,不仅是岩体地球化学特征的信息载体,而且其物理化学行为直接影响着EGS系统的运行效果。FixAl化学热力学模拟和水同位素十三线图解在天然水热系统评价中得到了广泛应用,对返排液研究的实用性则是文章的核心问题。文中收集了全球主要EGS项目的返排液资料,基于FixAl方法分析矿物与返排液的化学平衡状态,并计算了流体在深部的热交换温度,用同位素模型验证了EGS系统中原生卤水的驱替过程。研究结果表明,上述方法在EGS返排液研究中是适用的。此外,返排液的化学特征对EGS的指示意义还包括厘定原生卤水在返排液中所占比例,识别岩浆挥发分溶解及储层改造时的添加剂残留,预测结垢趋势和流体腐蚀性等。未来需要通过更多的实验和模拟方法深入研究返排液的化学特征,建立EGS的热-水-力-化学(THMC)耦合模型,为科学开发深层地热能提供依据。     

含裂隙碳酸盐岩酸化中超临界CO2对虫孔生长的影响初探

酸化是一种广泛应用于碳酸盐岩储层的增渗改造技术,其基本原理是将酸液注入储层裂隙,通过溶蚀反应使矿物溶解形成虫孔等通道,从而提高储层的渗透性和生产效率。以往的研究主要聚焦于优化注酸条件以提高成孔效率,忽略了碳酸盐岩酸化副产物CO2的影响。本研究针对三个含单裂隙的碳酸盐岩试样,开展不同浓度盐酸溶液的酸化实验,监测试样渗透率的变化;并在试验前后分别进行裂隙表面形貌激光扫描和内部空隙CT扫描,基于扫描结果对比分析了注酸条件对溶蚀效果的影响。研究结果表明：在流速、酸液浓度与种类等条件相同的条件下,CO2是否进入超临界态对虫孔形态有重要影响;超临界CO2可有效促进虫孔的生长,生成窄而长的虫孔,并显著提高溶蚀效果,试样的渗透率可提高3~9倍;而在CO2未进入超临界态的条件下,溶蚀形态接近面溶蚀或锥形虫孔,未贯通试样,试验前后渗透率没有显著变化,这是因为酸化反应产生的气态CO2会阻碍酸液的流动,从而降低酸化效果。本文结果揭示了在酸化中正面利用副产物CO2的可能性,有助于对现有酸化工程方案的优化和提升。     

花岗岩型干热岩体与不同注入水体相互作用研究

增强型地热系统(EGS)开发过程中，需要注入循环水体完成提热，但水体注入后与干热岩体反应会产生矿物溶解（或沉淀），破坏人工储层，影响地热能开发。本文以河北马头营区花岗岩型干热岩为研究对象，与该地区地下水、海水、纯水反应，并结合Phreeqc水文地球化学模拟，分析水岩相互作用后干热岩体的矿物变化与注入水体的化学成分变化规律。研究结果表明，不同注入水体与干热岩进行水岩作用，会产生不同类型的矿物溶解与沉淀，海水最终沉淀量较地下水低，主要原因是海水与干热岩体反应生成了具有吸附能力的沸石；适当减少海水中Cl-含量，将处理过的海水作为循环水体将具有强大的潜力和效益。     

二氧化碳羽流地热系统水-岩-气相互作用:以松辽盆地泉头组为例

二氧化碳羽流地热系统(CPGS)是利用CO2地质储存场地进行地热能开发的一种工程技术,也是整合CO2减排与开发深部地热资源的理想方式。但伴随着对深部地热的提取,注入储层的超临界CO2使深部咸水的pH值降低,导致周围岩体产生溶解和沉淀,从而引起孔隙度、渗透率等地层物性的变化,最终改变系统的生产能力和净热提取效率。以松辽盆地泉头组为目标储层,采用室内实验、数值模拟等技术手段,通过实验和数值计算结果的对比,揭示系统水-岩-气相互作用对热储矿物组分的改变。研究结果显示:实验过程中矿物溶解对温度和盐度变化较为敏感,而受压力影响较小;在实验和模拟时间内发生溶解的矿物主要是长石类矿物,方解石在反应后全部溶解;石英、伊利石和高岭石的矿物组分体积分数有所增加,并有少量菱铁矿生成。     

溶蚀作用下古岩溶盆地系统中介质场演化模拟

为了研究古岩溶盆地在溶蚀作用下碳酸盐岩油气储层介质场的演化规律,基于地下水渗流理论和碳酸盐溶蚀动力理论,用数值模型模拟了均质盆地和非均质盆地2种岩溶盆地含水系统发育过程。岩溶盆地含水系统演化过程中总伴随着裂隙差异溶蚀,不管均质盆地还是非均质盆地,都越来越非均质化,强溶蚀带集中在潜水位及优势裂隙附近,在侵蚀基准面和构造裂隙及层理等大裂隙处会形成高孔隙率、渗透率的良好储层。受介质场非均质化反作用,岩溶高地区潜水位随系统演化不断下降,潜水面处的强烈溶蚀随水位不断下切而使高地区改造成竖直裂隙发育的厚储层;坡地区水平径流活跃,易于形成水平裂隙发育的储层;平原区水位相对稳定,溶蚀作用主要发生大裂隙和侵蚀基准面处,但在大裂隙网内经溶蚀可形成局部高孔隙率储层。对比两子模型发现,在岩溶盆地含水系统中,主导渗流场都要经历由局部流场向二级流场、二级流场向全局流场的转变,前者发生在坡地区内部,后者发生在坡地区与平原区之间;流畅的渗流场转换更有利于介质场发育,受大裂隙网导水作用,非均质盆地比均质盆地更快捷、更顺利地实现主导流场升级,溶蚀作用更强烈,3 ka后非均质盆地比均质盆地的孔隙率增幅大34%。     

增强地热系统热储层-盐水-CO2相互作用

增强型地热系统(EGS)是采用人工形成地热储层的方法,从低渗透性岩体中经济地采出深层热能的人工地热系统。以CO₂为载热流体的增强地热能系统(CO₂-EGS)是实现CO₂减排和深部地热资源开发的有效手段,系统运行时的水-岩-气相互作用对热储层孔渗特征有着重要影响,最终会影响储层的产热能力。笔者利用高温高压反应釜模拟CO₂-EGS高温下的热储层-盐水-CO₂的相互作用,通过对实验中反应液离子成分变化和岩样扫描电镜进行分析,结果表明:实验后的钾长石和方解石出现溶解现象,且方解石溶蚀剧烈;岩样表面出现极少量次生方解石和钠长石,并有新矿物析出,其主要组成元素为C、O、Si、Fe,为菱铁矿的中间产物。通过TOUGHREACT建立反应性溶质运移模型,模拟上述实验的化学反应过程,模拟结果和实验数据拟合较好。该研究可为CO₂-EGS的水-岩-气作用机制提供地球化学数据。     

增强型地热系统开发过程中的多场耦合问题

增强型（或工程型）地热系统（简称EGS）是指从地下3~10km低渗透岩体中经济开采深层地热的人工热能系统,作为目前地热领域的重要发展方向,其研究受到发达国家的高度重视,但我国还基本处于空白。在EGS运行过程中,高温岩体及裂隙受到温度场（T）、渗流场（H）、应力场（M）、化学场（C）的耦合作用,其结果直接影响整个系统的设计和运行。本文根据对EGS最基本的物理—化学过程分析,讨论了任意两场之间的相互作用,指出了三场耦合应考虑的重点及四场耦合现阶段研究的不完善性,最后综述了目前国际上用于解决EGS多场耦合问题的模拟软件研究进展。     

江汉盆地江陵凹陷二氧化碳地质封存数值模拟

通过建立江汉盆地江陵凹陷新沟嘴组储层和盖层的二维模型,对江陵凹陷进行了CO2地质封存数值模拟研究,分析了注入CO2的运移分布和溶解扩散情况,并对储盖层垂直方向的渗透率进行了敏感性分析.结果表明,所建的二维模型能够较好地描述CO2在储层中的运移过程和分布状况,而且在实际地质封存工作中必须要考虑一些地质上的因素如储盖层的渗透率、毛细管压力、岩石矿物组分丰度等的变化对封存效果的影响.     

致密砂岩储层自生矿物特征及其对储集性能的影响——以鄂尔多斯盆地陇东地区长3油组为例

鄂尔多斯盆地陇东地区长3油组是近年来该区油藏评价新层系,分析砂岩中自生矿物特征对储层致密化机理研究有重要的意义。长3油组主要发育岩屑长石砂岩和长石岩屑砂岩,平均孔隙度为13.35%,渗透率为4.90×10-3μm2,为低孔低渗透致密储层,目前砂岩处于中成岩阶段A期。通过铸体薄片、扫描电镜、阴极发光、电子探针、X射线衍射等技术和手段,研究自生矿物的含量、类型、分布及成岩共生序列等特征。研究结果表明,早期绿泥石包膜有利于原生孔隙的保存,后期孔隙式充填降低了岩石孔隙度和渗透率;伊利石易堵塞孔隙喉道,导致储层物性变差;高岭石沉淀往往与长石溶解伴生,局部溶蚀作用强烈;晚期含铁碳酸盐胶结作用发育,镜下溶蚀现象少见,对储层的发育有破坏作用;石英次生加大边和自生晶粒占据了大量孔隙空间,同时石英也增强了岩石的抗压能力,对孔渗影响不大。总体上,长3油组自生矿物胶结对储集物性起负面效应,是砂岩储层致密化的主要因素之一。     

Comparative Study of Acid and Alkaline Stimulants with Granite in an Enhanced Geothermal System

The Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) is an artificial geothermal system that aims to economically extract heat from hot dry rock (HDR) through the creation of an artificial geothermal reservoir. Chemical stimulation is thought to be an effective method to create fracture networks and open existing fractures in hot dry rocks by injecting chemical agents into the reservoir to dissolve the minerals. Granite is a common type of hot dry rock. In this paper, a series of chemical stimulation experiments were implemented using acid and alkaline agents under high temperature and pressure conditions that mimic the environment of formation. Granite rock samples used in the experiments are collected from the potential EGS reservoir in the Matouying area, Hebei, China. Laboratory experimental results show that the corrosion ratio per unit area of rock is 3.2% in static acid chemical experiments and 0.51% in static alkaline chemical experiments. The permeability of the core is increased by 1.62 times in dynamic acid chemical experiments and 2.45 times in dynamic alkaline chemical experiments. A scanning electron microscope analysis of the core illustrates that secondary minerals, such as chlorite, spherical silica, and montmorillonite, were formed, due to acid-rock interaction with plagioclase being precipitated by alkaline-rock interactions. Masking agents in alkaline chemical agents can slightly reduce the degree of plagioclase formation. A chemical simulation model was built using TOUGHREACT, the mineral dissolution and associated ion concentration variation being reproduced by this reactive transport model.

Developing the ability to model acid-rock interactions and mineral dissolution during the RMA stimulation test performed at the Soultz-sous-Forêts EGS site,France

The Soultz Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) reservoir's response to chemical stimulation is assessed by numerical simulation of coupled thermo-hydraulic-chemical processes. To assess chemical interactions between host rocks and a mixture of HCl and HF as well as its potential effects on the Soultz EGS reservoir, new modelling efforts using the FRACHEM code have been initiated. This article presents the model calibration and results. Simulations consider realistic conditions with available data sets from the EGS system at Soultz. Results indicate that the predicted amount of fracture sealing minerals dissolved by injection of a mixture of acids Regular Mud Acid (RMA) was consistent with the estimated amount from the test performed on GPK4 well at Soultz EGS site. Consequently reservoir porosity and permeability can be enhanced especially near the injection well by acidizing treatment.     

基于工程开发原则的干热岩目标区分类与优选

干热岩(HDR)是指不含或仅含少量流体,温度高于180 ℃,其热能在当前技术经济条件下可以利用的岩体。作为一种重要的非常规地热资源,干热岩的开发利用可以借鉴页岩油气的成功经验,采用相似的技术发展路径,找到“地热甜点”,开发出低成本且高效的钻完井技术,逐步形成和完善技术体系,建立与对象相适应的生产运行模式,以期实现对这种巨大资源的有效开发利用。增强型地热系统(EGS)被认为是干热岩资源开采的一种重要方式。EGS最初被称为工程型地热系统,后来才统称为增强型地热系统,是指通过实施特殊的工程工艺,改善地层储集性能或(和)向地层中注入流体,以实现对地热资源的有效开发。其基本方法原理为在干热岩体内钻两口或多口井,将低温流体通过注入井注入干热岩体的天然裂缝系统,或注入通过压裂技术在钻井之间建立的具有水力联系的人工裂缝中加热,通过吸收干热岩内所蕴含的热能,将流体温度提高到一定程度后从生产井采出至地表或近地表进行利用,形成人工热交换系统,用于发电或取暖等。采用EGS技术开发干热岩地热资源,选区选址恰当与否是能否取得成功的最关键环节之一。中深层地热资源可分为水热型和干热岩型两大类、五亚类。其中,干热岩根据其热储孔渗条件差异又可分为无水优储、无水差储和无水无储三亚类,适合作为EGS开发对象的干热岩资源为其中的无水优储和无水差储两种类型。五类地热资源规模呈金字塔形,开发技术难度逐渐增加。基于由热储埋深、热储温度、热储岩性、热储物性、盖层厚度、盖层断裂发育条件等组成的地质资源条件,由钻探成井技术、储层改造技术、管理运营技术组成的工程技术条件,以及由地热需求和资源经济性组成的经济市场条件三个因素,本文建立了三因素分析与多层次指标分解法相结合的干热岩EGS选区评价方法和关键指标,在国内干热岩资源条件较好的17个候选区中,优选出西藏羊八井高温地热区和渤海湾盆地济阳坳陷潜山分布带作为EGS试验有利区。     

A shear‐dilation‐based model for evaluation of hydraulically stimulated naturally fractured reservoirs

The role of shear dilation as a mechanism of enhancing fluid flow permeability in naturally fractured reservoirs was mainly recognized in the context of hot dry rock (HDR) geothermal reservoir stimulation. Simplified models based on shear slippage only were developed and their applications to evaluate HDR geothermal reservoir stimulation were reported. Research attention is recently focused to adjust this stimulation mechanism for naturally fractured oil and gas reservoirs which reserve vast resources worldwide. This paper develops the overall framework and basic formulations of this stimulation model for oil and gas reservoirs. Major computational modules include: natural fracture simulation, response analysis of stimulated fractures, average permeability estimation for the stimulated reservoir and prediction of an average flow direction. Natural fractures are simulated stochastically by implementing ‘fractal dimension’ concept. Natural fracture propagation and shear displacements are formulated by following computationally efficient approximate approaches interrelating in situ stresses, natural fracture parameters and stimulation pressure developed by fluid injection inside fractures. The average permeability of the stimulated reservoir is formulated as a function of discretized gridblock permeabilities by applying cubic law of fluid flow. The average reservoir elongation, or the flow direction, is expressed as a function of reservoir aspect ratio induced by directional permeability contributions. The natural fracture simulation module is verified by comparing its results with observed microseismic clouds in actual naturally fractured reservoirs. Permeability enhancement and reservoir growth are characterized with respect to stimulation pressure, in situ stresses and natural fracture density applying the model to two example reservoirs.

Analysis of thermal parameters of Triassic,Permian and Carboniferous sedimentary rocks in central Poland

The paper shows thermal tests results (thermal conductivity, specific heat) carried out during the research project to recognize the potential of hot dry rocks for heat and electricity production in Poland. Analysis of such parameters of the rock medium has fundamental significance in search of structures for location of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Analyses of thermal conductivity as well as specific heat determine the possibility of effective extraction of heat from hot rock formations and its efficient transfer to the land surface. Reservoir rock should be characterized by the lowest possible porosity and permeability, and the highest possible thermal conductivity. In order to recognize reservoir parameters of rocks that form potential reservoirs for EGS, 300 samples of sedimentary rocks were taken from 11 wells located in central Poland. For samples, sizes of which enabled measurement of thermal parameters, tests of thermal conductivity and specific heat were carried out. Independently, measurements of porosity were made. The porosity magnitude determines values of measured thermal parameters. Measurements of thermal conductivity of rocks were made for 24 samples collected from Triassic, Permian and Carboniferous deposits in six wells. Measurements of specific heat on rock samples were made for 20 rock samples. Among sedimentary rocks, principally sandstones and limestones with reservoir parameters favourable for this type of systems are considered to be petrogeothermal reservoirs and are often characterized by favourable thermal parameters for EGS.

Fracture Network Volume Fracturing Technology in High-temperature Hard Formation of Hot Dry Rock

It is more difficult for a hot dry rock to form a fracture network system than shale due to its special lithology, physical and mechanical properties under high temperature. The essential characteristics, rock mechanics and in-situ stress characteristics of a hot rock mass have been systematically studied by means of laboratory tests and true tri-axial physical simulation. The fracture initiation and propagation characteristics under different geological and engineering conditions are physically simulated, and the main controlling factors for the formation of a complex fracture network are revealed. The technology of low displacement for enhancing thermal cracking, gel fluid for expanding fracture and variable displacement cyclic injection for increasing a fracture network has been applied in the field, and good results have been achieved. Micro-seismic monitoring results demonstrate that complex fractures were formed in the field test, and the stimulation volume for heat exchanging reaches more than 3 million cubic meters. The research results play an important role in the stimulation technology of an enhanced geothermal system (EGS) and realize a breakthrough for power generation.
