In order to explore the microscopic storage mechanism of shale gas in water-bearing pores and its influencing factors, this article first establishes a molecular dynamics model for methane in different types of adsorbents using molecular dynamics simulation and the grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo methods. These adsorbents include graphene, organic matter (kerogen), brittle minerals (quartz and albite), carbonate minerals (calcite), and clay minerals (illite, kaolinite, and montmorillonite). Then, by analyzing the molecular storage model and density distribution curves of methane in pores, the storage mechanisms of shale gas are analyzed and elucidated. Finally, the effects of pore water, organic/inorganic composition, pore size, pore shape, temperature, pressure, salinity, organic matter type, and multicomponent mixed gases on shale gas storage are discussed. This work aims to provide theoretical and technical support for the evaluation, exploration, and development of shale gas.
为了探究页岩气在含水孔隙中的微观存储机制及其影响因素,本文首先运用分子动力学模拟和巨正则系综蒙特卡罗方法,针对不同类型吸附剂中的甲烷建立了分子动力学模型。这些吸附剂包括石墨烯、有机质(干酪根)、脆性矿物(石英和钠长石)、碳酸盐矿物(方解石)以及黏土矿物(伊利石、高岭石和蒙脱石)。然后,通过分析孔隙中甲烷的分子存储模型和密度分布曲线,对页岩气的存储机制进行了分析和阐释。最后,探讨了孔隙水、有机/无机组成、孔径、孔形状、温度、压力、盐度、有机质类型以及多组分混合气体对页岩气存储的影响。这项工作旨在为页岩气的评价、勘探和开发提供理论和技术支持。
