Influence of Initial Oil Saturation, Injection Velocity and Wettability on Microscopic Characteristics in CO2-Oil–Water Displacement System
摘要
Injecting CO2 into an oil reservoir can enhance oil recovery and storage CO2 at the same time. Initial oil saturation, wettability and CO2 injection velocity will affect the flow characteristics of CO2, oil, and water in the rock matrix, thus affecting oil displacement efficiency and CO2 sequestration rate. Combining the volume of the fluid method with image processing technology, a method for analyzing the three-phase displacement of porous media is composed to study the microscopic characteristics of CO2-oil–water displacement system under different conditions. The results show that the displacement phase diagram based on two-phase displacement is applicable to three-phase displacement as well. The inlet/outlet pressure difference increases sharply at the beginning of displacement, and then continuously decreases until it stabilizes. The average capillary pressures show a relatively stable trend overall. The final quantities of three-phase clusters show the following relationship:
