摘要: 采用塔河油田缝洞型油藏稀油和常规稠油两种代表性油样,通过开展向前多次接触相平衡实验模拟蒸发气驱过程、向后多次接触相平衡实验模拟凝析气驱过程,研究了氮气与塔河油田原油在高温高压条件下的相态变化,明确了氮气与地层原油充分接触混合后地层流体的气液组分变化规律,提出了抽提指数的计算表达式,定量评价了氮气在高温高压条件下对原油轻组分的抽提效果,深化了注氮气提高采收率作用机理的认识。研究结果表明,塔河油田油藏条件(压力>65 MPa、温度>415 K)下,原油中轻质组分(C1—C5)经过5次接触后的流失率高达94%~100%,氮气对原油有较强的抽提作用;向前接触实验中,随接触次数增加,抽提作用越来越强,抽提指数越来越大,同次接触氮气对稀油的抽提指数是稠油的5倍以上;注入气中加入20%的CO2后对原油中轻质组分的抽提效果增强不显著,抽提指数仅小幅变化。两种气体与塔河油田稀油在多次向前接触后展现出了近混相的趋势;向后接触实验表明,首次接触抽提作用最大,抽提指数随着接触次数的增加逐渐减小至0,较之向前接触明显偏小。

Abstract: Using two representative oil samples of the light crude oil and conventional heavy oil from the Tahe fractured-cavity reservoir, the forward multiple-contact and the backward multiple-contact phase equilibrium experiment are performed to simulate the process of evaporative gas flooding and condensate gas flooding, respectively. On this basis, this paper investigates the phase behavior changes of nitrogen (N2) and the Tahe oil under high temperature and high pressure, clarifies the changing rules of gas-liquid composition of the formation fluid sufficiently contacted and mixed with N2, proposes the parameter ‘Extraction Indicator’ and its calculating formula, quantitatively evaluates the extraction effect of N2 on the light components of crude oil under high temperatures and high pressures, and deepens the understanding of the mechanism of enhanced oil recovery by N2 injection. The study shows that under Tahe reservoir conditions (pressure>65 MPa, temperature>415 K), up to 94% -100% of light components (C1 to C5) is extracted from the oil phase after 5 contacts with nitrogen, indicating that N2 has a strong extraction effect on crude oil. In the forward contact experiment, with the increase in contact times, the extraction effect is getting stronger and the extraction indicator becomes larger. The corresponding extraction indicator of N2 to thin oil is more than 5 times that of N2 to heavy oil under the same contact condition. After adding 20% CO2 to the injected nitrogen, the extraction effect on light components in oil is not significantly enhanced, and the extraction indicator only changes slightly. The near-miscible tendency is observed for both the N2 and N2-CO2 injectant during forward contacting with the Tahe light oil for multiple times; the backward contact experiment shows that the extraction effect of the first contact is the strongest, and the extraction indicator is gradually decreased to 0 with the incrase in contact times, which is sigificantly smaller as compared with the results of the forward contact experiment.
