Multiscale Pore Structure Evolution of Longmaxi Shale Induced by

摘要:Hydraulic fracturing to generate complex fracture networks is essential for shale reservoir development. However, the recovery of shale oil and gas is still low due to various engineering and geological factors. Acid treatment has been approved as a potential approach to enhance stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) by changing petrophysical and mechanical properties. Understanding the multiscale pore structure evolution behind the macro- performance change is critical in the application of acid treatment in shale reservoirs. In this study, cylindrical and powder shale samples from the Longmaxi formation are treated with 15 wt% hydrochloric acid (HCl) for 10 days. Before and after acid treatment, X- ray computed tomography (CT) and N-2 adsorption techniques are used to characterize shale pore structure at microscale and nanoscale, respectively. Combined with the determination of variations in chemical compositions of shale samples and acid solutions, the mechanism of multiscale pore structure evolution induced by acid treatment is discussed. The N-2 adsorption results uncover a considerable increase in volume and size of nanopores. All the nanopores increase in carbonate- rich shale, whereas the micropores and mesopores undergo a decrease in clay- rich shale. Reconstructed 3D CT images reveal the generation of large volumes of microscale pores and fractures, which leads to an increase in porosity of about 9%. The pore structure evolution in shale due to acid treatment is controlled by both mineralogy and microstructure. These findings demonstrate the promise of acid treatment for enhanced SRV and longterm productivity of shale oil and gas reservoirs in China.
