Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to the technical field of oil physical property measurement, and in particular to a method and device for testing wettability of dense oil reservoir.


BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

In the oil industry, testing of wettability of oil reservoir in rocks is the basis for testing oil physical property, and wettability of dense oil reservoir affects oil-water microcosmic distribution, bound water saturation, residual oil saturation, capillary force and relative permeability and etc. of the reservoir. Accurate testing of the wettability of the dense oil reservoir can help optimization of site development, which has an important guiding role on effective exploitation of the dense oil reservoir.


Currently in the prior art, methods for testing wettability of dense oil reservoir mainly include a contact angle method and a self-absorption method.


The contact angle method mainly includes testing a contact angle of oil and water to a surface of the oil reservoir, estimating an oil-wetting degree and a water-wetting degree of the dense oil reservoir, and then obtaining the wettability of the dense oil reservoir, but this method can only test the wettability of a partial oil reservoir in rocks. As for the dense oil reservoir, the wettability of the partial oil reservoir cannot represent the wettability of the whole oil reservoir.


The self-absorption method is the most widely used method for testing the wettability of the dense oil reservoir in the current, and this method mainly includes measuring and comparing an amount of self-absorbed oil (or self-absorbed water) by a capillary tube and a water displacement oil discharge volume (or an oil displacement water discharge volume) when the oil reservoir is in a residual oil (or bound water) state, and performing a corresponding calculation to obtain the wettability of the oil reservoir. This method can test quantitatively the wettability of the overall oil reservoir. But as for dense oil reservoir, since there are a large amount of micron-sized or even nano-sized air voids in the dense oil reservoir, self-absorption process takes a very long time, usually more than 15 days, and meanwhile it is very difficult to ensure a sufficient self-absorption. In addition, since the air voids in the dense oil reservoir are extremely small, the dense oil reservoir can accommodate an extremely small amount of fluid, so that when the amount of the fluid discharged by self-absorption is measured by a metering tube, it is inevitable to produce a large error, causing a reduction in accuracy of a test result.


The existing techniques contain at least the following defect: the wettability of the overall oil reservoir cannot be tested by the contact angle method. Testing the wettability of dense oil reservoir by the self-absorption method will take a long time, has a low testing efficiency, and meanwhile may produce an inevitable system error, and thus the testing accuracy is low. In addition, the self-absorption method cannot analyze quantitatively the water-wetting degree and the oil-wetting degree of the dense oil reservoir.

Meanwhile, since air voids in the dense oil reservoir are all submicron-sized or even nano-sized, it is very difficult to achieve a sufficient self-absorption, and the amount of fluid that is discharged through self-absorption is extremely small, so that it is very difficult to accurately measure the amount of fluid that is discharged through self-absorption with a metering tube.

In addition, in the prior art, there are lacks of quantitative analysis on the water-wetting degree and the oil-wetting degree of the dense oil reservoir. Whereas in some embodiments, the water-wetting degree and the oil-wetting degree of the dense oil reservoir are quantitatively analyzed by use of the water-wetting coefficient and the oil-wetting coefficient. The present disclosure is to test the wettability of the overall dense oil reservoir, without changing the original microstructure of the dense oil reservoir. Meanwhile, the testing device provided in the embodiment of the disclosure can automatically implement steps of testing wettability of the dense oil reservoir, which does not need specific participation of an implementer, can output testing results directly, thereby simplifying the testing process and improving user experience.

S1: testing nuclear magnetic resonance T2 maps of the dense oil reservoir in a saturated water state and in a saturated oil state.


Wherein, the testing sequence and testing manner for testing nuclear magnetic resonance T2 maps in the two states can be decided freely by the implementer, for example, the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 map in the saturated water state can be tested at first, or the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 map in the saturated oil state can be tested at first. The flow chart for illustrating the method for testing nuclear magnetic resonance T2 maps of the dense oil reservoir in the saturated water state and in the saturated oil state according to some embodiments is as shown in FIG. 3, specifically including:


S101: performing wash oil on the dense oil reservoir to take out a long pillar from the dense oil reservoir.


In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the selected long pillar may have a length between 5 cm to 7 cm, and a diameter about 2.5 cm.


The long pillar is to be distinguished from a short pillar below for calculating a T2 cutoff value, and for easy understanding is not to define length of the pillar. In addition, here the length and the diameter of the selected long pillar are both optimal values for the purpose of adapting to usual testing conditions. In other embodiments, length, diameter and other parameters of the pillar are not necessary to define, or even a shape of a part of dense oil reservoir being taken out is not necessarily a pillar, but can be other shapes, and these parameters are decided according to the actual testing condition in other embodiments.


S102: waterflooding the long pillar until the pillar reaches the saturated water state, testing the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 map of the long pillar in the saturated water state by using a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) equipment to obtain the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 map of the dense oil reservoir in the saturated water state, such as the spectral line corresponding to rhombic dots in FIG. 5.


As for the NMR equipment in this step, there is no specific definition of an equipment for testing the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 maps, or no definition of brands, models and etc. of the equipment.

In this step, the displacement means is used for shortening the time required by the long pillar to reach the saturated oil state. In other embodiments, other means can also be employed, for example, water is discharged by oil self-absorption, as long as the long pillar can reach the saturated oil state. The embodiments in which the long pillar reaches the saturated oil state by using other means all belong to other embodiments of the disclosure.


In addition, as for the NMR equipment in this step, there is no specific definition of an equipment for testing the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 maps, or no definition of brands, models and etc. of the equipment. In other embodiments, other nuclear magnetic resonance testing devices can be used as along as it can test the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 maps.


S2: calculating a water-wetting coefficient and an oil-wetting coefficient of the dense oil reservoir according to the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 maps of the dense oil reservoir in the saturated water state and in the saturated oil state.


The water-wetting coefficient and the oil-wetting coefficient are mainly used for measuring the water-wetting degree and the oil-wetting degree of the dense oil reservoir. FIG. 4 is a flow chart for illustrating calculation of water-wetting coefficient and oil-wetting coefficient of the dense oil reservoir according to the embodiment of the disclosure, specifically including:


S201: calculating a nuclear magnetic resonance T2 cutoff value.


A short pillar having a length of 2 to 3 cm and a diameter of about 2.5 cm is taken out from the dense oil reservoir after the wash oil in the S1.


The short pillar described in this step is to be distinguished from the long pillar for testing the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 maps, and for easy understanding is not to define a length of the pillar. In addition, here the length and the diameter of the selected short pillar are both optimal values for the purpose of adapting to usual testing conditions. In other embodiments, length, diameter and other parameters of the pillar are not necessary to define, or even a shape of a part of dense oil reservoir being taken out is not necessarily a pillar, but can be other shapes, and these parameters are decided according to the actual testing condition in other embodiments.


Waterflooding the short pillar until the short pillar reaches the saturated water state, performing the nuclear magnetic resonance testing under N centrifugal forces on the short pillar in the saturated water state, comparing the nuclear magnetic maps to select the centrifugal forces and calculate the T2 cutoff value, wherein N≧2.


In this step, the described waterflooding is aimed to make the long pillar reach the saturated water state. In other embodiments, the oil injection can be performed by self-absorption or displacement means, or other means.


This step belongs to a conventional technical means, and in other embodiments, the implementer of the method can decide a specific testing method according to the actual situation, with the purpose of calculating the T2 cutoff value.


S202: calculating an amount of the bound water and an amount of the bound oil.


Wherein, the bound water and the bound oil generally refer to water and oil that are bound in the oil reservoir. In an embodiment of the present application, the process of calculating the amount of the bound water and the amount of the bound oil can include:


S2021: placing the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 maps of the dense oil reservoir in the saturated water state and in the saturated oil state, into the same coordinate system, dividing the maps into left and right sections by using the T2 cutoff value, as shown in FIG. 5, the left half section is a boundary fluid part, the boundary fluid refers to the fluid that is bound by the dense oil reservoir, including the bound water and the bound oil.


S2022: calculating an area of a region encircled by the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 maps in the saturated water state and in the saturated oil state in the boundary fluid part (as shown in the black region marking water in FIG. 5), to obtain the amount of the bound water.


S2023: calculating an area of a region encircled by the nuclear magnetic resonance T2 map in the saturated oil state and an x-axis in the boundary fluid part (as shown in the gray region marking oil in FIG. 5) to obtain the amount of the bound oil.


In specific implementation process of S2022 and S2023, region colors and marking methods are not necessarily limited to the drawing, and other colors and other marking methods can also be employed, as long as the regions corresponding to the bound water and the bound oil can be clearly distinguished.


S203: calculating water-wetting coefficient and oil-wetting coefficient of the dense oil reservoir.


In some embodiments, the amount of the bound water and the amount of the bound oil are added together to calculate and obtain a total amount of the boundary fluid; dividing the amount of the bound water by the total amount of the boundary fluid to calculate and obtain the water-wetting coefficient of the dense oil reservoir; dividing the amount of the bound oil by the total amount of the boundary fluid to calculate and obtain the oil-wetting coefficient of the dense oil reservoir.


The method for calculating the oil-wetting coefficient and the water-wetting coefficient employed in this step is mainly for conforming to normal logical custom. In other embodiments, it is practicable to divide the amount of the bound water by the total amount of the boundary fluid to obtain the oil-wetting coefficient of the dense oil reservoir; similarly, it is also practicable to divide the amount of the bound oil by the total amount of the boundary fluid to obtain the water-wetting coefficient of the dense oil reservoir.


The water-wetting degree of the dense oil reservoir can be quantitatively analyzed by using the water-wetting coefficient, and the oil-wetting degree of the dense oil reservoir can be quantitatively analyzed by using the oil-wetting coefficient.


S3: calculating a mixed wettability index of the dense oil reservoir by using the water-wetting coefficient and the oil-wetting coefficient of the dense oil reservoir, and determining the wettability of the dense oil reservoir according to the mixed wettability index.


The mixed wettability index itself can directly determine the wettability of the dense oil reservoir. Also, the wettability of the dense oil reservoir can be divided into different types according to a value range of the mixed wettability index, and the wettability of the dense oil reservoir can be determined according to the type to which the wettability belongs. The specific dividing manner is not necessary to define.


In some embodiments, the specific calculation may include:


S301: subtracting the oil-wetting coefficient from the water-wetting coefficient to obtain the mixed wettability index of the dense oil reservoir.


In other embodiments, it is also practicable to substract the water-wetting coefficient from the oil-wetting coefficient to obtain the mixed wettability index of the dense oil reservoir. In some embodiments, a difference between the water-wetting coefficient and the oil-wetting coefficient is used for defining the mixed wettability index of the dense oil reservoir. In other embodiments, other defining manner can also be employed, for example, it is practicable to divide the water-wetting coefficient by the oil-wetting coefficient to obtain the mixed wettability index of the dense oil reservoir; or it is also practicable to divide the oil-wetting coefficient by the water-wetting coefficient to obtain the mixed wettability index of the dense oil reservoir.


S302: determining wettability of the dense oil reservoir according to the mixed wettability index of the dense oil reservoir.


The determing wettability of the dense oil reservoir can be regarded as determining the type of the wettability of the dense oil reservoir. In an embodiment, according to the value range of the mixed wettability index of the dense oil reservoir, the wettability of the dense oil reservoir is divided into seven types, including: strong oil-wetting, oil-wetting, weak oil-wetting, neutral, weak water-wetting, water-wetting and strong water-wetting. Specific corresponding relationship between the value range of the mixed wettability index and the type of the wettability is as shown in Table 1.

The type in table 1 is to be consistent with the type in conventional methods, and in specific implementation of other embodiments, it is not necessary to limit the type to such manner. For example, it is practicable to define the type of wettability of the dense oil reservoir whose mixed wettability index is within the range of −0.1 to −0.70 to be “strong oil-wetting”, and it is practicable to define the type of wettability of the dense oil reservoir whose wettability index is within the range of 0.70 to 1.0 to be “strong water-wetting”. In addition, the manners of dividing the wettability type of the dense oil reservoir on the basis of other mixed wettability indexes or on the basis of other indexes similar to the calculation of the mixed wettability index in this embodiment all belong to some embodiments of the disclosure.


In the above embodiment of the disclosure, the self-absorption process of the self-absorption method in the prior art is eliminated, which shortens the testing time and improves the testing efficiency. In some embodiments, a nuclear magnetic resonance testing technique can be used to directly measure an amount of fluid that is bound in the dense oil reservoir without having to measure an amount of the discharged fluid, which reduces errors and improves testing accuracy.


In addition, in some embodiments, the water-wetting coefficient and the oil-wetting coefficient are used for quantitatively analyzing the water-wetting degree and the oil-wetting degree of the dense oil reservoir, which solves the problem in the prior art that there lacks of quantitative analysis on the water-wetting degree and the oil-wetting degree of the dense oil reservoir; indicators for quantitatively estimating the wettability of the dense oil reservoir are established, and the types of wettability of the dense oil reservoir are divided by the mixed wettability index of the dense oil reservoir.


The embodiments of the present disclosure is to test wettability of the overall dense oil reservoir, and meanwhile not change the original microstructure of the dense oil reservoir.


Table 2 shows testing results of the wettability of 10 kinds of dense oil reservoir in the embodiment, including water-wetting coefficients and oil-wetting coefficients of 10 kinds of dense oil reservoir, and the wettability of 10 kinds of dense oil reservoir is also tested by the self-absorption method, and testing results of the self-absorption method are compared with the results obtained in this embodiment. The AI indexes described in the table are namely indicators for estimating wettability of the dense oil reservoir in the self-absorption, it can be seen by comparison that, there is a very good corresponding relationship between the mixed wettability indexes obtained through testing in the embodiment of the disclosure and the AI indexes, which in fact proves reliability of the present disclosure. Meanwhile, it can be seen through theoretical analysis that, in the embodiments of the disclosure, system errors caused in the self-absorption method can be avoided, therefore the accuracy of the testing results obtained in the disclosure is higher than the self-absorption method. In addition, in the embodiments of the disclosure, testing the wettability of one dense oil reservoir takes 1.5 days, while testing the wettability of one dense oil reservoir by the self-absorption method generally takes 15 days or longer time. Compared with the self-absorption method, the embodiment of the disclosure shortens the testing time.
