Application of Automated Mineralogy in Fluid-Solid Chemical Reactivity Transmission on Reservoirs
摘要
Using the Automated Mineralogy (AM) technology based on the SEM-EDS plat-form, a series of image and mineralogical analyses can be carried out on samples, such as large-area high-resolution scene scanning, particle mineral analysis, specific mineral search and trace mineral search, etc. AM can meet the research needs of automated and rapid identification of mineral types, measurement of surface porosity, determination of mineral particle size, evaluation of the distribution characteristics of minerals and pores, and analysis of the distribution forms of elements. Form analysis, and other research needs. This paper focuses on the application of AM in three aspects of liquid-solid chemical reaction transport in reservoirs, including static and dynamic liquid-solid chemical reaction experiments as well as numerical simulation of liquid-solid chemical reaction transport, and draws three conclusions: (1) AM can help to reflect the real process of liquid-solid chemical reaction transport at the pore scale. In the process of oil and gas development, the non-homogeneity, pore fracture and mineral distribution of the reservoir will have an impact on the fluid-solid chemical reaction, and AM has obvious advantages in the study of the non-homogeneity, pore structure and mineral genesis of the reservoir. (2) AM can be used in combination with various techniques, which helps to numerically simulate the experimental process of fluid-solid chemical reaction and reveal the transport mechanism of fluid-solid chemical reaction.AM can quickly locate the minerals and pores, quantitatively characterize the results of the changes of minerals and pores before and after the reaction, and compare them with the results of the numerical simulation, which helps to reveal the transport mechanism of the fluid-solid chemical reaction. (3) The joint application of AM and CT in exploring the liquid-solid chemical reactions during reservoir development and CO2 geological storage, especially in studying the short-term mineral change, pore space change and fluid transportation, has great potential.
