枯竭油气藏型储气库扩容达产技术难点与发展展望

Challenges and Prospects for Expanding Capacity and Enhancing Deliverability in Depleted Reservoir Gas Storage

  • 摘要: 【目的】为应对中国天然气调峰需求快速增长与地下储气库有效工作气量不足的矛盾,在梳理中国枯竭油气藏型储气库发展现状的基础上,围绕库容动用率偏低与扩容达产受多因素制约等问题,系统分析交变应力孔隙变形、“干注湿采”近井结盐与次生水锁、气水过渡带动态扩展及多场耦合损伤等关键因素,揭示复杂地质条件与高频注采工况的耦合作用机理,为构建可推广的枯竭油气藏型储气库扩容达产技术体系提供理论依据。【方法】依托国内典型储气库建库与运行资料,结合室内实验与工程实践,提出以“井网优化-注采调控-边水外推-排液扩容”为核心的扩容达产体系,分析4个技术单元间的耦合关系,形成从地质认识、井网设计到注采运行与库容再动用的技术路径。【结果】中国枯竭油气藏型储气库普遍受构造破碎、深埋高压、储层强非均质及边底水发育等复杂地质条件,以及交变应力损伤、近井结盐与次生水锁、气水过渡带扩展等多周期注采动态效应的双重制约,导致有效库容动用率显著低于设计水平,单一工程措施难以取得持续扩容效果。通过完善注采井网与差异化注采方案,可扩大控储范围、减缓应力与结盐损伤;结合边底水外推与排液扩容措施,可在控制水侵风险的同时释放被水体与液态烃占据的孔隙空间,改善气相渗流条件,提高库容动用效率与调峰能力。【结论】构建“井网-注采-水驱-排液”耦合调控体系,是破解复杂地质条件下枯竭油气藏型储气库扩容达产的有效途径。但现阶段微纳孔隙气水运移规律及排液扩容临界条件仍缺乏定量约束,未来可围绕智能优化算法与多场耦合模型,形成全生命周期动态调控技术,推动储气库扩容达产由经验驱动向模型制导转变,为中国储气库安全高效运行提供理论支撑与技术指引。

     

    Abstract: In response to the rapid growth of China’s natural gas peak-shaving demand and the persistent shortfall in the effective working gas volume of underground gas storage (UGS), this paper addresses the problem of storage Capacity Expansion and Deliverability Enhancement in depleted gas reservoir-type UGS. A systematic analysis of technical bottlenecks and development pathways is presented. The study reveals that Chinese UGS facilities are doubly constrained by: complex geological conditions—including structural fracturing, deep burial, and strong reservoir heterogeneity—and multi-cycle injection-production dynamic effects—such as alternating stress damage, near-wellbore salt deposition, secondary water lock, and expansion of the gas-water transition zone. These factors collectively result in low storage capacity utilization. By integrating typical domestic and foreign cases, a technical system centered around “well-pattern optimization–injection-production regulation–edge-water displacement–liquid-drainage capacity expansion” is proposed. Specifically, intensifying the injection-production well pattern can expand the reservoir control range; differential injection and production schemes can balance the displacement efficiency and system stability; coordinated well-pattern adjustment for gas-drive-water can effectively suppress water encroachment; and the exploitation of liquid fluids can release pore space and reduce dissolution losses. Numerical simulations and field practices indicate that the above-mentioned technologies can increase the working gas volume of gas storage. In the future, it is necessary to combine intelligent optimization algorithms with multi-field coupling models to form a full-life-cycle dynamic regulation and control technology, providing theoretical support for the efficient capacity expansion of gas storage in China.
