摘要: 球棍模型广泛应用于储集层孔喉网络模拟,然而,储集层孔喉尺度跨度大,且结构类型多样,球棍模型是否完全适用,缺乏有效验证。恒速压汞法是研究孔喉结构的重要方法之一。利用构型理论和层次分析方法,划分恒速压汞曲线构型,并解译构型的储集层孔喉层次结构,深入探讨储集层孔喉网络模拟中球棍模型的适用性。结果表明:恒速压汞曲线可分为A构型区和B构型区,分别对应微米级大孔和纳米级小孔;A构型区,随着进汞压力增大,孔隙、孔道和喉道的进汞饱和度均单调递增,说明大孔具有孔喉二元结构,孔道与喉道并存,孔喉比大于1,球棍模型适用;B构型区,随着进汞压力增大,孔隙和喉道的进汞饱和度单调递增,孔道进汞饱和度保持不变,说明小孔不具有孔喉二元结构,基本为喉道,孔喉比为1,球棍模型不适用,毛细管模型更适合。球棍模型与毛细管模型结合,可完整模拟储集层孔喉网络。储集层物性越差,毛细管模型越适用于孔喉网络模拟。

Abstract:

Ball-and-stick model is widely employed in simulating pore network within reservoirs. However, given a broad range of pore scales and diversity of structural types in reservoirs, whether this model is universally applicable remains inadequately validated. Constant-rate mercury intrusion (CRMI) is one of the key methods for studying pore-throat structures. By employing the configuration theory and analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the configurations of CRMI curves were classified, the corresponding hierarchical architectures of reservoir pore systems were interpreted, and the applicability of ball-and-stick model in reservoir pore network simulation was examined. The results indicate that CRMI curves can be divided into Configuration A and B regions, corresponding to micron-scale pores and nano-scale pores, respectively. In Configuration A region, as the mercury injection pressure increases, the mercury injection saturation in pore network, pores, and throats rises monotonically, indicating a binary pore-throat structure in the micron-scale pores, with a pore/throat ratio higher than 1. Here, the ball-and-stick model is applicable. In Configuration B region, as the mercury injection pressure increases, the mercury injection saturation in pore network and throats increases monotonically, while the mercury injection saturation in pores remains constant. This suggests that nano-scale pores have no binary pore-throat structure, and are dominated by throats, with a pore/throat ratio of 1. In this region, the ball-and-stick model is inapplicable, while a capillary tube model is more suitable. The ball-and-stick model and capillary tube model can be combined to fully simulate reservoir pore networks. The poorer the reservoir physical properties, the more applicable the capillary tube model for pore network simulation.
