“…Shale oil is widely distributed in the world, and the statistics of resource potential evaluation results from 116 basins worldwide reveal that the total technically recoverable resources of shale oil are about 251.2 billion tons, with huge development potential. − The development process of such tight reservoir is subject to the coupling effect of multiple factors, resulting in the deformation of nanopores. − Shale oil reservoir nanoscale pore deformation is mainly under the coupling effect of stress motivation and adsorption motivation deformation. − The indoor experimental analysis, numerical simulation methods, and micromechanical analytical equation analysis are the stress motivation pore deformation research field. − The experimental analysis method is mainly based on the results of experiments. Moreover, the empirical mathematical model of porosity and permeability variation with pore pressure at the macroscopic scale is obtained by fitting the data. − However, such models still contain certain empirical parameters and have a relatively poor applicability for microscopic scales. The numerical simulation methods are mainly used to analyze the pore deformation characteristics during triaxial compression using finite element techniques. − The conventional numerical simulations used in such methods are still limited in the application scale, and the obtained pore variation is usually statistical in nature, which makes it difficult to achieve an accurate description of individual nanopores with different pore diameters.…”

The stress and adsorption motivation deformation during shale oil production directly affect its development dynamics. First, a mathematical simulation of pore deformation in shale oil under stress motivation is established. We analyzed the impact of factors including the reservoir pressure, Biot coefficient, bulk modulus, and tortuosity on the deformation characteristics of nanopores. Second, a pore deformation model under multifactor synergistic effect is derived by combining the molecular dynamics, which takes into account the influence of adsorption deformation on the total adsorption of shale oil reservoir. Finally, a shale oil pore deformation model under multifactor synergistic effect is obtained. The results show that the current pore diameter shows a trend of decreasing with the decrease of current formation pressure and the difference with original reservoir pressure increases. The pore shows a trend of less deformation with a decrease in the effective stress coefficient. When the Biot coefficient is 0.8, the pore diameter under 5 MPa is 4.01 nm. When the Biot coefficient decreases to 0.3, the pore diameter under 5 MPa becomes 9.12 nm, an increase of 127.43% compared to 4.01 nm. The bulk modulus affects the magnitude of pore deformation under the same pressure, which means that the pore diameter shows a tendency to deform more easily as the bulk modulus increases. Meanwhile, the pore diameter decreases with increasing tortuosity. In addition, the pore deformation is subject to both stress and adsorption motivation deformation synergistically. The stress motivation deformation leads to a decrease of pore diameter with pressure decrease, while, in contrast, the adsorption motivation leads to an increase of pore diameter. The pore diameter under synergy is influenced by the coupling effect, and the deformation under synergy tends to decrease as the pore diameter decreases. When the rock mechanical parameters are changed so that the pores are not easily deformed by stress, the adsorption motivation deformation plays a dominant role in synergy. The amount of synergistic deformation decreases with increasing temperature, while the change in the component ratio of multicomponent fluid mainly affects the corresponding adsorption and the amount of synergistic deformation. Interestingly, when the proportion of CO 2 is the largest, the corresponding maximum deformation is higher than the other proportions (43.77%). It not only enhances the recovery rate of shale oil reservoirs by utilizing CO 2 but also provides the possibility of geological CO 2 burial.

Gas wells in Linxing Tight Gas Field are characterized by significant water production, and individual well water production measurement is missing, which pose challenges to predict liquid loading and conduct quantitative evaluations. Moreover, relying solely on flow temperature and pressure testing can be costly and time-consuming. To address these critical issues, we established the prewarning model and quantitative evaluation method for liquid loading. By utilizing those models, real-time judgment and evaluation of liquid loading can be achieved without individual well water production measurements. Our researches reveal that the pressure differential per unit gas production exhibits four patterns for different production stages. In contrast to maintaining a consistent pattern in the absence of liquid loading, the presence of fluid accumulation in production wells can be diagnosed through the increase in the specific production pressure difference within the liquid-loaded production section. Furthermore, the height of liquid loading in the wellbore can be calculated by using the quantitative evaluation model, which can match well with the field tests. The average error can be only 5.9%, and it will offer a novel solution for early warning and quantitative evaluation of wellbore liquid loading in water-producing tight gas fields. In addition, the limitation for strong stress sensitivity effect and high initial water yield-well needs to be broken through in future work.
