    高温高压条件下致密砂岩电阻率与极化率演化规律研究

    Evolution of resistivity and polarizability in tight sandstones under high temperature and high pressure: A case study of the Xu-2 Member in Hexingchang, western Sichuan

    • 摘要: 川西合兴场地区须家河组二段致密砂岩储层具有“特低孔、特低渗”特征。为明确该储层在氮气驱替过程中的电性响应特征,基于1套高温高压岩心驱替与电阻率、极化率同步测量系统,在120 ℃、100 ℃温度和74 MPa、60 MPa围压条件下,以恒流1 mL/min注入氮气,实时采集驱替过程中岩心电阻率和极化率数据。通过分析温度、围压及孔隙度对电阻率和极化率响应的影响,阐明了控制储层电性变化的主要因素。结果表明:岩石电阻率与极化率在驱替过程中普遍呈现“初期缓增−中期陡增−后续缓增−后期稳定”的4段式演化特征;高温有利于提高氮气驱替程度,降低残余水饱和度,使电阻率增幅明显增大;围压对电性参数的影响相对较弱,主要通过调控含水饱和度,并与温度耦合间接影响电性响应;储层物性越好,电阻率与极化率在温压变化过程中的响应变化越明显,尤其在100 ℃条件下,中等及以上储层的极化特性变化更为突出;氮气驱替主要通过改变含水饱和度影响岩石电性,其机理可归结为饱和度变化引起的导电网络重构。本研究为高温高压条件下致密砂岩储层的电性解释与流体识别提供了实验依据,并指出在实际电法资料应用中需重视驱替过程中电性参数的动态变化规律。

       

      Abstract: The tight sandstone reservoirs of the Xu-2 Member of the Xujiahe Formation in Hexingchang area, the western Sichuan Basin, are characterized by ultra-low porosity and ultra-low permeability. To clarify their electrical responses during nitrogen displacement, this study deals with ten tight sandstone core samples tested using a high-temperature and high-pressure core displacement system with simultaneous resistivity and frequency-domain induced polarization (FDIP) measurements, under a constant nitrogen injection rate of 1 mL/min, temperatures of 100 and 120 °C, and confining pressures of 60 and 74 MPa, with core resistivity and FDIP recorded in real time. The dominant controls on electrical variations are established by analyzing the effects of temperature, confining pressure, and porosity on resistivity and FDIP responses. The results show that both resistivity and FDIP responses generally exhibit a four-stage evolution pattern: initial stability, rapid increase, slow change, and final stabilization. Higher temperature improves nitrogen displacement efficiency, reduces residual water saturation, and increases resistivity variation. Confining pressure has a relatively weak effect on electrical responses and mainly acts indirectly by regulating water saturation in conjunction with temperature. FDIP responses are strongly controlled by water saturation and most significant near an intermediate water saturation. Cores with better reservoir properties display more pronounced resistivity and FDIP variations with changing temperature and pressure, while medium- and high-quality reservoirs show stronger FDIP responses than poor reservoirs at 100 °C. These results indicate that nitrogen displacement affects rock electrical properties primarily by altering water saturation, and the underlying mechanism can be attributed to the reconstruction of conductive networks caused by saturation changes. This study provides experimental support for electrical interpretation and fluid identification in tight sandstone reservoirs under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, and highlights the importance of accounting for the dynamic evolution of electrical parameters during displacement when applying electrical methods in practice.
