摘要: 油氣主要儲集在巖石孔隙和縫洞內,深部復雜應力環境下儲層巖石裂隙滲透演化直接影響油氣的運移規律,是油氣勘探開發的重要研究對象。為了解復雜應力路徑下含裂隙巖石的滲透演化特性,利用高精度滲流?應力耦合三軸實驗設備,對含隨機分布裂隙泥巖開展了單試樣?復雜應力路徑加卸載過程中的滲透性演化試驗研究,試驗方案依次為:(i) 圍壓遞增條件下滲透性測試;(ii) 滲透壓力遞增條件下滲透性測試;(iii) 偏應力循環加卸載條件下滲透性測試;(iv) 圍壓、偏應力同步增長條件下滲透性測試。結果表明裂隙泥巖中的滲流可視為低滲流速度的層流;裂隙發育豐富巖樣(R2)滲透率及應力敏感性明顯較高。滲透率隨滲透壓力、圍壓分別呈正、負的指數函數變化。偏應力加載導致滲透率降低,卸載引起滲透率上升,但整體呈不可逆降低;圍壓、偏應力同步增長引起滲透率呈下降趨勢,并逐步趨于穩定;圍壓10.3 MPa作用下,滲透率基本保持恒定。由此,基于裂隙雙重介質模型,考慮泥巖變形過程中裂隙系統和基質系統的相互作用以及外部應力作用下的裂隙膨脹變形,構建了裂隙泥巖滲透率演化力學模型;模型模擬結果與試驗結果具有較好的一致性。相關成果可為裂隙泥巖滲透性演化預測和油氣高效開采提供重要的理論依據。Abstract: The main reservoirs of oil and gas are in the pores and fractures of rocks. Under deep and complex stress environments, reservoir rock fracture permeability evolution directly affects the flow of oil and gas, which is an important research object of oil and gas exploration and development. In order to study the permeability evolution of fractured rock under complex stress paths, a permeability test of a single sample in the process of loading and unloading complex stress paths was performed using high-precision hydro-mechanics coupled with triaxial experimental equipment. The experimental scheme entails permeability tests under (i) increasing confining pressure; (ii) increasing liquid pressure; (iii) cyclic loading and unloading deviatoric stress; and (iv) increasing confining pressure and deviatoric stress synchronously. The results show that liquid flow in fractured mudstone can be regarded as laminar flow with low velocity. The sample containing more fracture (R2) has a significantly higher permeability and stress sensitivity. The permeability changes with both liquid and confining pressure as a function of positive and negative exponential functions. The increase in deviatoric stress leads to a decrease in permeability, and unloading causes permeability to increase. The whole evolution of permeability is irreversibly reduced. During the increasing confining pressure and deviatoric stress stage, permeability also decreases, and tends to stabilize. Under a confining pressure of 10.3 MPa, permeability remains basically constant. Therefore, based on the double medium model of fracture, the permeability evolution model of fractured rock was proposed considering the interaction among fracture system, matrix system, and the expansion deformation of fracture under external stress. The simulation results of the model are in good agreement with the experimental results. These results can provide an important theoretical basis for the prediction of permeability evolution of fractured mudstone and efficient oil and gas exploitation.
