低渗透砂岩油藏渗流启动压力梯度实验研究

实验测定了3个不同渗透率级别的低渗透砂岩油藏样品的非达西渗流曲线,采用“毛细管平衡法”与传统的“压差－流量法”相结合, 非达西渗流曲线的完整性。在每块实验样品的平均渗汉速度与单位黏度的驱替压力梯度的关系坐标中,利用二次函数拟合实验数据点,通过二次函数曲线切线的斜经和截距的变化来描述低速非达西渗流中岩心渗透经和启动压力梯工的变化,探讨了启动压力梯度与空气渗透率、流体黏、驱替压力梯度的关系以及低非达西渗流段的渗透率与空气渗透率和单位黏度的驱替压力梯工的关系,并回归得到了经验公式。根据“毛细管平衡法”测定的最小驱替压力梯度和“切线斜率法”确定的非线性渗流段最大驱替压力梯度绘制了流态判定应用图版。

An experimental study on starting pressure gradient of fluids flow in low permeability sandstone porous media

This paper presents the laboratory methods to obtain the complete non-Darcy flow curves of different low permeability sandstone porous media. The study develops a new "capillary pressure equilibrium method" to measure the starting pressure gradient, combining well with the conventional "differential pressure-flow rate method". Meantime, the relationships between starting pressure gradient and fluid viscosity, displacement pressure or the air permeability of the sample cores, especially the characteristics of permeability change when flow rate is low, are described and discussed. According to the experiment results, this paper get some useful experience formulae as well as applied plots.
