Enhancing CO2 Injectivity in High-Salinity and Low-Permeability Aquifers: A Case Study of Jianghan Basin, China
-
摘要: 注入性是关系CO2地质储存成功与否的一个关键的技术和经济问题, 评价与提高CO2在中国陆相沉积盆地普遍存在的低渗储层中的注入能力对于碳捕集与封存技术在中国的应用与推广具有重要意义.以江汉盆地江陵凹陷为例, 通过数值模拟的方法开展高盐低渗储层CO2注入能力评估与提高方案研究.结果表明: 预注入淡水和低盐度的微咸水溶液均可不同程度地缓解注入井周围的盐沉淀问题; 预注入CO2饱和溶液或稀盐酸溶液, 可显著提高注入井周围的孔渗值, 提高CO2注入性, 但由于储层本身的低渗性, 迁移距离有限, 短时间内较难实现CO2注入速率的大幅度提高.采取水力压裂措施可显著提高低渗储层中CO2的注入性, 其提升能力取决于压裂裂缝的半长度以及压裂程度.对于单个垂直井, 通过水力压裂对储层加以改造, 并采取多层注入的方式, 在低渗储层中实现数十万吨的年注入量是可能的.Abstract: Injectivity is a crucial technical and economical issue for CO2 geological storage projects due to large volumes of CO2 to be stored. Assessment and enhancement of CO2 injectivity in ubiquitous low-permeability reservoirs in the continental sedimentary basins of China is of great significance to the application and development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in China. Numerical simulation was carried out to investigate the potential and enhancement of CO2 injectivity in high-salinity and low-permeability aquifers by taking Jiangling depression of Jianghan basin as the study area. The results show that pre-injection of freshwater and low-salinity saline water can effectively mitigate salt precipitation around the CO2 injection well at different levels; pre-injection of CO2-saturation solution and diluted HCl solution can significantly improve the porosity and permeability values and enhance CO2 injectivity. However, it is difficult to achieve a significant increase in CO2 injection rate in a short time due to the limited migration distance resulted from the low-permeability nature. Hydraulic fracturing measures can significantly increase CO2 injectivity and the improved capacity largely depends on fracturing half-length and fracturing degree. Therefore, for a single vertical well, it is possible to achieve the injection of hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 per year to low-permeability reservoirs by adopting hydraulic fracturing measures and multi-layer injection.
