Abstract

Recently, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) with enhanced oil recovery (EOR) have gained a significant traction in an attempt to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Information on pore-scale CO fluid behavior is vital for efficient geo-sequestration and EOR. This study scrutinizes the behavior of supercritical CO (sc-CO) under different reservoir temperature and pressure conditions through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis, applying it to light and heavy crude oil reservoirs. The effects of reservoir pressure (20 MPa and 40 MPa), reservoir temperature (323 K and 353 K), injection velocities (0.005 m/s, 0.001 m/s, and 0.0005 m/s), and in situ oil properties (835.3 kg/m and 984 kg/m) have been considered as control variables. This study couples the Helmholtz free energy equation (equation of state) to consider the changes in physical properties of sc-CO owing to variations in reservoir pressure and temperature conditions. It has been found that the sc-CO sequestration is more efficient in the case of light oil than heavy oil reservoirs. Notably, an increase in temperature and pressure does not affect the trend of sc-CO breakthrough or oil recovery in the case of a reservoir bearing light oil. For heavy oil reservoirs with high pressures, sc-CO sequestration or oil recovery was higher due to the significant increase in density and viscosity of sc-CO. Quantitative analysis showed that the stabilizing factor (ε) appreciably varies for light oil at low velocities while higher sensitivity was displayed for heavy oil at high velocities.

摘要

最近,碳捕集、利用与封存(CCUS)与强化采油(EOR)相结合,在减少温室气体排放方面取得了重大进展。关于在孔隙尺度下 CO 流体行为的信息对于有效封存和强化采油至关重要。本研究通过计算流体动力学(CFD)分析,研究了超临界 CO(sc-CO)在不同油藏温度和压力条件下的行为,并将其应用于轻质和重质原油油藏。研究考虑了油藏压力(20 MPa 和 40 MPa)、油藏温度(323 K 和 353 K)、注入速度(0.005 m/s、0.001 m/s 和 0.0005 m/s)以及原地油特性(835.3 kg/m 和 984 kg/m)等控制变量的影响。本研究通过将亥姆霍兹自由能方程(状态方程)耦合,考虑了由于油藏压力和温度条件的变化导致的 sc-CO 物理性质的变化。研究结果表明,与重质油藏相比,轻质油藏中 sc-CO 的封存效率更高。值得注意的是,对于轻油油藏,温度和压力的升高并不影响 sc-CO 突破或采油的趋势。对于高压重质油藏,由于 sc-CO 的密度和粘度显著增加,sc-CO 的封存或采油效率更高。定量分析表明,对于轻油,在低流速下稳定因子(ε)的变化较大,而对于重油,在高流速下表现出更高的灵敏度。
