Factors affecting movable fluid saturation and pore structures of Jurassic Yan'an Formation in the Shenmu area of the Ordos Basin
In order to study the factors affecting the movable fluid saturation in the Jurassic Yan'an Formation coal seams in Shenmu area,and to address issues such as small pores,complex oil-water flow mechanisms,and prominent development contradictions in coal seam,experiments such as casting thin sections,X-ray diffraction,and scanning electron microscopy were conducted to analyze pore structure characteristics in coal seam in this paper.The occurrence characteristics and affecting factors of movable fluids in the study area were analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance and high-pressure mercury intrusion experiments.The results show that:1)The nuclear magnetic porosity of the coal seam samples in the study area ranges from 0.389%to 10.137%,the permeability ranges from 2.395 mD to 6.278 mD,and the saturation of movable fluids ranges from 30.23%to 66.31%;2)The T2 spectrum distribution of nuclear magnetic resonance exhibits typical bimodal and unimodal characteristics.The coal seam pores in thestuy area are mainly mesopores,followed by micropores,and macropores are the least;3)The mercury intrusion results show that the sample displacement pressure is low,ranging from 0.041 MPa to 1.502 MPa,with an average of 0.716 MPa;The maximum mercury saturation is high,ranging from 13.06%to 88.31%,with an average of 65.59%;The mercury removal efficiency ranges from 0.84%to 47.28%,with an average of 28.02%;4)The saturation of movable fluids is mainly influenced by reservoir physical properties,pore structure,and mineral components.There is a good positive correlation between permeability and saturation of movable fluids,while the correlation between porosity and saturation is relatively weak.The larger the throat radius,the better the connectivity and the greater the saturation of the movable fluid.Clay minerals reduce the saturation of movable fluids by occupying and blocking pores.The above achievements are significant guides for predicting the effects of seam development.
