    Numerical Simulation of Geothermal Exploitation in the Liaohe Oilfield Based on CO2 Plume Geothermal System

    • 摘要: 在全球能源结构转型与“双碳”目标推进背景下,CO2羽流地热系统(CPGS)作为地热开发与碳封存协同的创新技术,凭借清洁能源供给与温室气体减排的双重价值受到广泛关注。为了明确不同储层物性参数与运行工况对CPGS热提取性能的影响规律,本文以辽河油田于楼地段深部热储为研究对象,基于COMSOL Multiphysics软件构建了热−流−固(THM)三场耦合的三维数值模型,系统研究了储层物性参数(初始孔隙率、岩石比热容和导热系数)及运行工况(注采速率和井间距)对系统运行50.00 a的热提取性能的影响。结果表明,储层物性参数对CPGS热提取性能的影响程度由高至低依次为岩石比热容、初始孔隙率、岩石导热系数,运行工况中注采速率的影响程度显著大于井间距。增大岩石比热容可有效延缓储层温度衰减,将生产温度降至373.15 K的时间从37.80 a推迟至50.00 a以后,全周期温度衰减速率最低仅为0.130 K/a,但50.00 a时的热提取比最多降低18.37%,长期流动阻抗略有减小。初始孔隙率增大有利于改善储层渗流条件,可将50.00 a时的热提取比最大提高32.65%,但同时加速储层冷却,使生产温度降至373.15 K的时间最早提前至27.60 a,全周期流动阻抗相应增大。增大岩石导热系数对温度衰减有一定延缓作用,但对热提取性能的整体影响最弱,50.00 a时的热提取比最大变幅仅为6.12%,其对流动阻抗的影响以17.36 a为拐点呈非单调特征。增大注采速率可显著提升系统热提取比,50.00 a时的热提取比最高可提升55.10%,长期运行流动阻抗降低16.37%,但会将CO2突破时间提前至0.39 a,加速储层温度衰减。增大井间距可提升系统长期热稳定性,生产温度降至373.15 K的时间由26.60 a延后至37.80 a,但50.00 a时的流动阻抗最大增幅达35.56%,增加注采循环能耗。本研究揭示了多参数对CPGS热提取性能的影响规律,基于模拟结果明确了该区域核心参数阈值,可为辽河油田CPGS工程的设计优化、参数优选与长期稳定运行提供理论支撑,也可为我国其他地区地热能开发提供有益参考。

       

      Abstract: Against the backdrop of the global energy structure transformation and the advancement of the "dual carbon" goals, the CO2 Plume Geothermal System (CPGS), as an innovative technology that synergizes geothermal development with carbon sequestration, has attracted widespread attention due to its dual value of clean energy supply and greenhouse gas emission reduction. To clarify the influences of different reservoir physical properties and operating conditions on the heat extraction performance of the CPGS, this study focuses on the deep thermal reservoir in the Yulou section of the Liaohe Oilfield. Based on the COMSOL Multiphysics software, a three-dimensional numerical model coupling thermal, hydraulic, and mechanical (THM) fields was developed, and the effects of the reservoir physical properties (initial porosity, rock specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity) and operating conditions (injection-production rate and well spacing) on the heat extraction performance of the system over 50 years of operation were systematically investigated. The results show that the reservoir physical properties, in decreasing order of their influence on the heat extraction performance, are the specific heat capacity, initial porosity and thermal conductivity. Regarding the operating conditions, the injection-production rate has a significantly larger impact than the well spacing. An increase in the rock's specific heat capacity effectively delays the temperature decline of the reservoir, postponing the time for the production temperature to drop to 373.15 K from 37.80 years to beyond 50 years, with the minimum long-term temperature decay rate being only 0.130 K/year. However, the heat extraction ratio at 50 years is reduced by up to 18.37%, while the long-term flow impedance decreases slightly. An increase in initial porosity improves the reservoir permeability conditions, increasing the heat extraction ratio at 50 years by up to 32.65%, but simultaneously accelerates reservoir cooling, advancing the time for the production temperature to fall to 373.15 K to as early as 27.60 years, and correspondingly increases the long-term flow impedance. An increase in the rock's thermal conductivity has a certain delaying effect on the temperature decline, but its overall impact on the heat extraction performance is the weakest, with a maximum variation of only 6.12% in the heat extraction ratio at 50 years. Furthermore, its influence on the flow impedance exhibits a non-monotonic behavior with an inflection point at 17.36 years. Increasing the injection-production rate significantly enhances the heat extraction ratio of the system, with a maximum increase of 55.10% at 50 years and a reduction of 16.37% in the long-term flow impedance, but advances the CO2 breakthrough time to 0.39 years, accelerating the reservoir temperature decline. Increasing the well spacing improves the long-term thermal stability of the system, postponing the time for the production temperature to drop to 373.15 K from 26.60 years to 37.80 years, but increases the flow impedance at 50 years by up to 35.56%, raising the energy consumption of the injection-production cycle. This study reveals the influence mechanisms of multiple parameters on the heat extraction performance of the CPGS and identifies the core parameter thresholds for this region based on the simulation results, providing theoretical support for the design optimization, parameter selection, and long-term stable operation of the CPGS projects in the Liaohe Oilfield, as well as a valuable reference for the geothermal development in other regions of China.
