Abstract
Gulong shale oil is found in a typical continental shale oil reservoir, which is different from marine shale oil reservoirs. The Gulong shale oil reservoir is a pure shale-type oil reservoir with abundantly developed nanoscale pores, making it extremely difficult to unlock fluids. Pressure drive does not easily achieve fluid unlock conditions; thus, it is necessary to utilize imbibition to unlock nanoscale pore fluids. In this study, experiments were conducted on oil displacement by high-speed centrifugal pressure and imbibition under different conditions, respectively, and simulations were used to evaluate the effects of pressure differential drive and imbibition efficiency on the utilization of crude oil following fracturing. Combined with the mixed wettability of the reservoir, the imbibition efficiency was analyzed, and the imbibition efficiency at different soaking stages was evaluated. When the fracturing pressure was higher than the matrix pore pressure, the imbibition efficiency was the most obvious, which was 27.9%. Spontaneous imbibition depending solely on capillary force had poor efficiency, at 16.8%. When the fracturing pressure was lower than the matrix pore pressure, the imbibition efficiency was the lowest, at only 1.3%. It is proposed that strengthening fracture pressure and promoting pressurized imbibition are the keys to improving shale oil development.
