Experimental study on reservoir particle migration induced by the injection-production process of underground gas...

Multi cycle injection and production of underground gas storage (UGS) promote continuous changes in reservoir characteristics, to clarify the impact of different injection and production characteristics on the reservoir, taking carbonate rock fracture-pore type gas storage reservoirs as the research object, established a set of experimental methods based on production characteristics, quantitative analysis of reservoir damage caused by particle migration caused by increasing, decreasing, fluctuating, and reverse changes in production pressure difference. And the following research results are obtained. First, established experimental methods based on production characteristics, the production method includes increasing, decreasing, fluctuating, and reverse changes, realized experimental evaluation of simulating actual production full features. Second, there is a critical pressure difference in the migration of reservoir particles, the fluctuation of production pressure difference induce further migration of particles, resulting in natural unblocking or new blockage. Third, the change in the direction of production pressure difference can cause large particle sizes break into small particle sizes and migrate out of the pore throat, thus the permeability of the reservoir can be improved to a certain extent. It is concluded that controlling a certain production pressure difference during the injection and production process of UGS, not only meets production needs, but also alleviate the damage of injection production to reservoir permeability to a certain extent.
