    Study on mechanical modeling and sealing property of caprock during carbon dioxide geological storage: A case study of S229 block of CCUS test area in Liaohe Oilfield

    • 摘要: 碳捕集、利用与封存 (carbon capture, utilization and storage,CCUS)在应对全球气候变化、减少温室气体排放方面具有重要意义。二氧化碳(CO2)地质封存是一个动态过程,极易引起地质体应力场改变,诱发盖层岩石力学破坏,造成CO2泄露。因此,盖层封闭性研究是CCUS项目实施中的关键研究内容之一。以辽河油田CCUS试验区S229区块为例,针对二氧化碳地质封存过程中盖层封闭性评价需求,基于地质、测井及岩心实验数据,采用三维地质力学建模技术,结合毛细管压力理论和摩尔−库伦破坏准则,计算盖层最大CO2羽流柱高度,并分析盖层张性破坏压力与剪切破坏压力。提取注入井点位置的破坏压力阈值,实现盖层封闭性定点定量评价,明确研究区块CO2注入井极限压力。分析表明,研究区盖层泥岩毛细管封闭能力较好,所能封闭的最大CO2羽流柱高度为379.08 m;盖层张性破裂压力范围为58.3 ~ 62.1 MPa,剪切破裂压力范围为54.8 ~ 60.9 MPa;井36-70附近盖层剪切破坏风险最高,极限井底压力为58.09 MPa。研究结果表明,S229区块盖层具备较好的封闭性能,但需严格控制CO2注入压力以避免力学破坏。研究成果为研究区CCUS项目注入参数优化及安全实施提供了指导。

       

      Abstract: Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is of great significance in addressing global climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon dioxide (CO2) geological storage is a dynamic process, and it can easily trigger changes in the stress field of the geological body, induce mechanical failure of the caprock, and lead to CO2 leakage. Therefore, the study on the sealing property of caprock is one of the key contents in the implementation of CCUS projects. The S229 block of the CCUS test area in Liaohe Oilfield was studied. In response to the evaluation requirements for the sealing property of the caprock during the geological storage process of CO2, geological, logging, and core experimental data were utilized, and three-dimensional (3D) geomechanical modeling technology was adopted. Based on the capillary pressure theory and Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, the maximum height of the CO2 plume column of the caprock was calculated, and the tensile failure and shear failure pressure of the caprock were analyzed. The threshold value of the failure pressure at the injection well point was innovatively extracted for point-to-point and quantitative evaluation, which could clearly determine the limit pressure of the CO2 injection wells in the study area. The analysis shows that the capillary sealing capacity of the caprock mudstone in the study area is good, and the maximum height of the CO2 plume column that it can seal is 379.08 m. The tensile failure pressure range of the caprock is 58.3–62.1 MPa, and the shear failure pressure range is 54.8–60.9 MPa. The shear failure risk of the caprock near Well 36-70 is the highest, with an upper limit pressure of 54.8 MPa. The conclusion shows that the caprock in the S229 block has good sealing properties, but the CO2 injection pressure should be strictly controlled to avoid mechanical failure. The research results provide direct guidance for injection parameter optimization and safe implementation of CCUS projects.
