  • 摘要: 为揭示温度、围压、工质物性与裂隙结构共同作用下深部碳酸盐岩热储中水和超临界二氧化碳(Supercritical Carbon Dioxide, ScCO2)的渗流换热差异及复杂缝网渗流场演化规律,选取江苏句容地区红花园组、仑山组和观音台组碳酸盐岩,制备100 mm×100 mm×100 mm立方体试样,利用高温高压真三轴压裂−渗流−换热一体化装置开展对比试验。围压影响试验将温度固定为100 ℃,设置5/10/15、8/14/20、10/16/22和14/20/26 MPa这4组三向应力;温度影响试验将三向应力固定为5/10/15 MPa,设置60、80、100、120和140 ℃这5个温度梯度。水以15 mL/min恒流注入,ScCO2在7.4~7.7 MPa条件下恒压注入。依据流量、压差及进出口温度计算等效水力开度、对流换热系数和携热效率,并结合声发射定位、计算机断层扫描(Computed Tomography, CT)三维重构及渗透张量分析裂隙数量、产状和贯通性对渗流场的控制作用。结果表明:围压升高使2种工质的等效水力开度、流速、对流换热系数和携热效率总体下降,且降幅随围压升高逐渐趋缓,ScCO2的等效水力开度对围压变化更敏感。以HHY-8试样为例,连续升压过程中水的等效水力开度分别下降1.4%、0.3%和0.1%,ScCO2分别下降10.5%、3.5%和1.5%。温度由60 ℃升至140 ℃时,矿物热膨胀使等效水力开度持续减小,而岩体与工质温差增大使对流换热系数和携热效率总体提高;等效水力开度的降幅随白云石含量增加而增大。多数温压条件下,ScCO2的对流换热能力高于水,但在140 ℃时,其密度和定压比热容降低,水的携热效率普遍反超ScCO2。渗透张量计算表明,LS-1试样以水为介质时,渗透系数由60 ℃的12.71 m/d降至140 ℃的4.88 m/d;以ScCO2为介质时,渗透系数由8.39 m/d降至6.22 m/d。低围压条件下裂隙数量对导流能力的控制作用更明显,高围压条件下裂隙倾角组合、贯通性及其与钻孔的连通关系作用增强,温度对主渗流方向和整体渗流场的影响弱于围压。碳酸盐岩压裂缝网的渗流换热受裂隙力学闭合、矿物热膨胀和工质热物性耦合控制;ScCO2在中低温条件下具有较高的表观换热能力,但其携热优势随温度升高而减弱,工质选择需综合考虑储层温度、应力状态、矿物组成和裂隙网络结构。

     

    Abstract: To clarify the differences in seepage and heat transfer between water and supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2) in deep carbonate geothermal reservoirs and to identify the evolution of the seepage field in complex fracture networks under the combined effects of temperature, confining pressure, fluid properties, and fracture structure, carbonate rocks from the Honghuayuan, Lunshan, and Guanyintai formations in Jurong, Jiangsu Province, were prepared as 100 mm × 100 mm × 100 mm cubic specimens. Comparative experiments were conducted using a high-temperature and high-pressure true-triaxial integrated apparatus for fracturing, seepage, and heat transfer. In the confining-pressure tests, the temperature was maintained at 100 ℃, and four triaxial stress states of 5/10/15, 8/14/20, 10/16/22, and 14/20/26 MPa were applied. In the temperature tests, the triaxial stress state was fixed at 5/10/15 MPa, and five temperature levels of 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140 ℃ were adopted. Water was injected at a constant flow rate of 15 mL/min, whereas ScCO2 was injected at a constant pressure of 7.4–7.7 MPa. The equivalent hydraulic aperture, apparent convective heat-transfer coefficient, and heat-transport efficiency were calculated from the measured flow rate, pressure difference, and inlet and outlet temperatures. Acoustic-emission localization, three-dimensional computed-tomography reconstruction, and permeability-tensor analysis were combined to determine the effects of fracture number, orientation, and connectivity on the seepage field. Increasing confining pressure reduced the equivalent hydraulic aperture, flow velocity, apparent convective heat-transfer coefficient, and heat-transport efficiency of both fluids, with the rate of reduction gradually decreasing at higher stress levels. The equivalent hydraulic aperture of ScCO2 was more sensitive to changes in confining pressure. For specimen HHY-8, the hydraulic aperture of water decreased by 1.4%, 0.3%, and 0.1% during successive loading stages, whereas that of ScCO2 decreased by 10.5%, 3.5%, and 1.5%, respectively. As the temperature increased from 60 ℃ to 140 ℃, mineral thermal expansion continuously reduced the equivalent hydraulic aperture, while the increased temperature difference between the rock and the working fluid generally enhanced the apparent convective heat-transfer coefficient and heat-transport efficiency. The temperature-induced reduction in hydraulic aperture increased with dolomite content. ScCO2 exhibited a higher apparent convective heat-transfer capacity than water under most temperature and pressure conditions. At 140 ℃, however, decreases in the density and isobaric specific heat capacity of ScCO2 caused the heat-transport efficiency of water to become generally higher than that of ScCO2. Permeability-tensor calculations showed that, for specimen LS-1, the permeability coefficient of water decreased from 12.71 m/d at 60 ℃ to 4.88 m/d at 140 ℃, whereas that of ScCO2 decreased from 8.39 m/d to 6.22 m/d. Fracture number exerted a stronger control on flow capacity at low confining pressure, whereas fracture-orientation combinations, connectivity, and hydraulic communication with the borehole became more important at high confining pressure. Temperature had a weaker effect on the principal seepage direction and the overall seepage field than confining pressure. Seepage and heat transfer in fractured carbonate geothermal reservoirs are jointly controlled by mechanical fracture closure, mineral thermal expansion, and the thermophysical properties of the working fluid. ScCO2 provides higher apparent heat-transfer performance at low and moderate temperatures, but its heat-transport advantage weakens with increasing temperature. Working-fluid selection should therefore comprehensively account for reservoir temperature, stress state, mineral composition, and fracture-network structure.
