基于裂缝网络模型的CO2地质封存稳定性评价
Stability Assessment of CO2 Geological Storage Based on a Fracture Network Model
裂缝作为CO2地质封存的主要储集空间和渗流通道,直接影响CO2的封存效率及长期封存的安全性.基于无人机倾斜摄影技术,构建了鄂尔多斯盆地裂缝性砂岩储层离散裂缝网络模型,并基于多物理场耦合仿真软件COMSOL Multiphysics建立了考虑基质‒层理‒裂缝的CO2-水两相流固耦合数值模型.研究发现,CO2优先沿高渗透性的层理和裂缝运移,横向层理与低倾角、低连通性的自然裂缝阻滞垂向渗流,降低了CO2逃逸到盖层的风险;裂缝网络加速了压力传递,诱发显著位移响应,初始位移增长率是基质模型的6.2倍.因此,考虑基质‒层理‒裂缝多重介质系统对CO2地质封存的稳定性具有重要意义.
Fractures serve as the primary storage space and seepage pathways for CO2 geological storage, directly influencing storage efficiency and long-term containment security. This study employed UAV oblique photogrammetry to construct a discrete fracture network (DFN) model of a fractured sandstone reservoir within the Ordos Basin. Subsequently, a fluid-solid coupling numerical model for CO2-water two-phase flow was established using the multiphysics simulation software COMSOL Multiphysics, explicitly accounting for the matrix-bedding-fracture system. Key findings reveal that CO2 preferentially migrates along high-permeability bedding planes and fractures. Horizontal bedding, combined with low-dip, low-connectivity natural fractures, impedes vertical seepage, thereby reducing the risk of CO2 escape into the caprock. The fracture network accelerates pressure transmission, inducing significant displacement responses. The initial rate of displacement increase was found to be 6.2 times higher than that observed in the matrix model. Consequently, accurately representing the multi-porosity system encompassing the matrix, bedding, and fractures is crucial for assessing the stability of CO₂ geological storage.
