In this paper, the influence of micro-fractures on the flow of tight reservoirs is studied on the microscopic scale. Three-dimensional digital cores of fractured tight sandstone with varying fracture apertures, lengths, and dip angles are constructed using computed tomography (CT) scans. Pore-network models are built using the three-dimensional digital cores to simulate the flow in tight oil reservoirs. The effects of the micro-fracture aperture, length and dip angle on the pore-throat structure, single-phase flow, and two-phase flow for fracture surfaces with/without roughness are studied. The study demonstrates different influences of micro-fracture characteristics on the flow, and the fracture aperture has the most critical effect. Meanwhile, the roughness of the micro-fracture makes a difference in addition to the three factors of micro-fractures. This paper provides a theoretical basis for the effective development of tight sandstone reservoirs. |
