针对目前渗吸岩心移位核磁成像实验存在表面油相损耗与空气吸附,进而影响实验结果精度的问题,改进设计出原位核磁成像渗吸实验方法,采用该方法开展砂岩岩心在纳米流体中的渗吸实验,记录了整个纳米流体渗吸过程中原油的实际运移图像,同时结合砂岩岩心的物性、渗吸过程中的驱动力变化,分析了不同渗透率砂岩岩心在纳米流体中的渗吸特征。研究表明：纳米流体能大幅降低油相的界面张力,改善渗吸排油效率,浓度越高,界面张力越低,渗吸排油效率越高,但浓度达到一定值后,渗吸排油效率增速趋缓;温度升高,有利于降低原油黏滞阻力和界面张力,提高渗吸排油率;岩心渗透率相对较高,渗吸时底部原油向上运移排出,且岩心渗透率越高,该现象越明显,表现为顶部排油特征;岩心渗透率相对较低,渗吸时岩心四周原油先排出,然后内部原油向四周扩散排出,表现为四周排油特征,但在纳米流体长时间作用下,岩心亲水性不断增强,油水界面张力不断降低,渗吸后期也会出现顶部排油特征。
The core imbibition and shifting nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging experiment has loss of surface oil phase and air adsorption, which will affect the accuracy of the experiment result. To solve this issue, a modified experiment method, in-situ imbibition NMR method has been worked out. This method was used to carry out sandstone core imbibition experiment in nanofluid, and the oil migration images in the entire process were recorded. In combination with physical properties of the sandstone cores and the variations of the driving force during the imbibition process, imbibition characteristics of the sandstone cores with different permeabilities in nanofluid were analyzed. The results show that: the nanofluid can greatly reduce the interfacial tension of oil phase and improve the efficiency of imbibition and oil discharge, the higher the concentration, the lower the interfacial tension and the higher the efficiency of imbibition and oil discharge would be, but when the concentration reaches a certain value, the increase in imbibition and oil discharge efficiency slows down; the rise of temperature can reduce the oil viscosity resistance and interfacial tension, and hence enhance the imbibition and oil discharge rate; when the sandstone core is higher in permeability, the bottom crude oil would migrate upward and discharge during the imbibition, the higher the permeability of the sandstone core, the more obvious this phenomenon would be, and the phenomenon is shown as top oil discharge characteristic; when the sandstone core is low in permeability, the crude oil in the outer layer of the sandstone core would discharge first during the imbibition, then crude oil in the inside of the core would disperse outside and discharge, which is shown as oil discharge characteristic around the core; but under long time effect of nanofluid, the core would become more and more water-wet and reduce in the oil-water interfacial tension, so would have top oil discharge characteristic in the later stage of imbibition.
