Abstract

There are complex pore structures in shale reservoirs, and the nonlinear flow characteristics of shale reservoirs are complicated by stress sensitivity and boundary layer effects. In this research, a new flow mathematical model was established based on capillary model, stress sensitivity and boundary layer effect. The model was verified by the experimental results of Jilin shale oil reservoir, and the influencing factors of flow characteristics were analyzed. The results show that the new shale oil flow model has good fitting and high reliability with the experimental results. The boundary layer effect and stress sensitivity are the main factors affecting the seepage characteristics. With the increase in the pressure gradient, the influence of the boundary layer effect on the flow is gradually enhanced, and the influence of the stress sensitivity on the flow is gradually weakened. At the same time, this study developed a method for the evaluation of effective displacement distance of shale oil reservoir with CO 2 injection through the limited injection-production well spacing method, and obtained the nonlinear flow curve of displacement distance with reservoir permeability under different injection and production pressure difference. This research deeply studies the flow characteristics of shale oil reservoir and provides a theoretical basis for the enhanced oil recovery of shale oil with CO 2 injection.
