Effect of CO2-water-rock Interaction on Porosity,Permeability and Pore Structure Characters of Reservoir Rock:A Case Study of 35-3 Well in Yanchang Oilfield
CO2 could react with formation water and reservoir rock when it was injected into reservoir. The interaction of CO2-rock-water could change the porosity,permeability and pore structure characters of the reservoir. In this paper,the changes of porosity,permeability and pore structure of the rock were measured after rock reacted with CO2 and water in different reaction times and under different reaction pressures. The apparent morphology of the rock and Ca2+ concentration in water after the interaction of CO2-rock-water under different pressures were also measured. The results showed that the change in pore structure of rock was influenced by the comprehensive effects of dissolution,particle migration and the deposition of new minerals. With the change of reaction time and reaction pressure,the distribution of small pores in rock changed greatly,while that of macropores changed little.The water permeability of rocks all decreased after CO2-water-rock reaction of 6—24 hrs. With the increase of reaction time,the porosity of rock decreased first and then increased,the permeability recovery of rock increased gradually which showed that the effect of CO2 on reservoir permeability changes decreased gradually. The water permeability of rocks all decreased after CO2-water-rock reaction under 7—15 MPa. With the increase of reaction pressure,the porosity of rock increased first and then decreased,the permeability recovery of rock decreased gradually which showed that the effect of CO2 on reservoir permeability changes increased gradually. The dissolution of rock was more obvious and the concentration of Ca2+ in solution increased with the increase of reaction pressure.
