摘    要:基于南海神狐SH2钻孔水合物储层地质特点和压力温度条件,运用数值模拟方法开展天然气水合物的单一垂直井降压热激法联合试开采的优化研究。为减少气体经上覆透水岩层泄露和过量的产水,生产井过滤器放置于生产井中部,热量被平均分配到过滤器并以恒定功率注入而不是注入热水。研究结果表明:顶底板附近水合物有隔水储气作用,大部分的甲烷气被束缚在水合物储层中,但后期可成为甲烷泄露通道。对底孔压力、热激发强度、初始水合物饱和度、储层渗透率4个参数的敏感性分析表明:底孔压力降低,产气速率相差不大,产水量增加;热激发增强或高初始水合物饱和度下,产气速率增大;本征渗透率影响流体运移和热传导,本征渗透率减小时,产气速率先增大后减小。本文所采用数值模拟及参数敏感性分析方法,有助于设计和优化天然气水合物开采方案。

Abstract: Based on the characteristics and geological conditions of the hydrate deposit observed in Shenhu SH2 drilling site, a numerical optimization study on the gas production was conducted by means of the combined utilization of depressurization and thermal stimulation through a vertical well. To minimize gas losses through the permeable strata overlaid the hydrate deposit and excessive water production from the permeable strata, the screen interval of well was confined to the middle section of the well. Heat was evenly applied to the screen interval at a constant rate of heat flow rather than hot water injection. Numerical simulations show that hydrate zone near the permeable strata is waterproof and trap methane gas at early stage, most of methane gas released from hydrate reservoir remains captured, but it may become the leakage path for methane gas at late stage. Sensitive analyses on the parameters, i.e., bottom-hole pressure, thermal stimulation intensity, initial hydrate saturation, and reservoir permeability indicate that with a lower bottom-hole pressure, there is little change in gas production rate, but larger water production. The stronger thermal intensity or the higher initial hydrate saturation result in higher gas production rate. When the permeability of hydrate deposit decreases, the gas production rate increases first and then decreases. This is caused by the combined action of fluid transport and heat conduction. The numerical method presented may be useful for future design and optimization of methane gas production from a hydrate deposit.
