Mechanism of Permeability and Oil Recovery during Fracturing in Tight Oil Reservoirs

Abstract

In this study, the effect of fracturing fluid on the permeability of tight oil reservoirs is analyzed through oil absorption. The mechanism of permeation and absorption in tight oil reservoirs was studied using the molecular dynamics simulation of fluid flow through fractures in porous media containing crude oil. The influence of surfactants on the adsorption characteristics of crude oil formations on rock walls was also examined. The research results show that the introduction of the appropriate surfactant to the fracturing fluid could accelerate the rate of percolation and recovery as well as improve the recovery rate of absorption. The optimal concentration of polyoxyethylene octyl phenol ether-10 (OP-10) surfactant in the fracturing fluid was 0.9%. When the percolation reached a certain stage, the capillary forces in the crude oil and percolation medium in the pore stabilized; accordingly, the crude oil from the pore roar should be discharged at the earliest. The fluid flow through the fracture effectively carries the oil seeping out near the fractured wall to avoid the stability of the seepage and absorption systems. The surfactant can change the rock absorbability for crude oil, the result of which is that the percolating liquid can adsorb on the rock wall, thus improving the discharge of crude oil. The results of this study are anticipated to significantly contribute to the advancement of oil and gas recovery from tight oil reservoirs.
