摘要

将全球气候变化控制在1.5 ℃以内需要降低温室气体排放,主要是减少二氧化碳(CO2)的排放。可通过驱油过程将CO2封存在油藏地质体中,因此,CO2驱油与封存被视为降低CO2排放的重要手段之一。本研究提出了一种新型的CO2提高采收率(EOR)方法,即封存驱动型CO2提高采收率,其主要目标是通过在油藏中封存尽可能多的CO2来实现CO2净零排放甚至负排放,同时最大限度提高原油采收率。该方法以二甲醚(DME)作为一种高效化学助剂,用于辅助传统CO2 驱提高原油采收率,同时提高CO2封存率。结果表明,DME可提高CO2在原油中的溶解度,有利于CO2的溶解封存;可抑制因CO2的抽提作用造成的原油轻质组分“逃逸”,这对原油可持续开发至关重要。封存驱动型CO2 EOR方法在提高波及效率方面优于传统的CO2 EOR,尤其是在采油后期更为明显;同时,封存驱动型CO2 EOR比传统的CO2 EOR可更有效地提高原油采收率。此外,通过封存驱动型CO2 EOR封存的CO2量远超采出原油燃烧产生的碳排放总量。通过优化开发方案,如水气交替注入,可实现更高的原油采收率和CO2封存率目标。

Abstract

Stabilizing global climate change to within 1.5 °C requires a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, with a primary focus on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. CO2 flooding in oilfields has recently been recognized as an important way to reduce CO2 emissions by storing CO2 in oil reservoirs. This work proposes an advanced CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method—namely, storage-driven CO2 EOR—whose main target is to realize net-zero or even negative CO2 emissions by sequestrating the maximum possible amount of CO2 in oil reservoirs while accomplishing the maximum possible oil recovery. Here, dimethyl ether (DME) is employed as an efficient agent in assisting conventional CO2 EOR for oil recovery while enhancing CO2 sequestration in reservoirs. The results show that DME improves the solubility of CO2 in in situ oil, which is beneficial for the solubility trapping of CO2 storage; furthermore, the presence of DME inhibits the “escape” of lighter hydrocarbons from crude oil due to the CO2 extraction effect, which is critical for sustainable oil recovery. Storage-driven CO2 EOR is superior to conventional CO2 EOR in improving sweeping efficiency, especially during the late oil production period. This work demonstrates that storage-driven CO2 EOR exhibits higher oil-in-place (OIP) recovery than conventional CO2 EOR. Moreover, the amount of sequestrated CO2 in storage-driven CO2 EOR exceeds the amount of emissions from burning the produced oil; that is, the sequestrated CO2 offsets not only current emissions but also past CO2 emissions. By altering developing scenarios, such as water alternating storage-driven CO2 EOR, more CO2 sequestration and higher oil recovery can be achieved. This work demonstrates the potential utilization of DME as an efficient additive to CO2 for enhancing oil recovery while improving CO2 storage in oil reservoirs.
