Popis: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is being considered for use to enhance oil recovery and resource utilization and storage, with wide technical adaptability. In this paper, a numerical simulation method is used to study the adaptability of CO2 huff and puff in shale reservoirs. A fluid model introduces the nanoconfinement effect and reflects the nanoconfinement effect using the fluid p–T phase diagram. This method uses local grid refinement and changes the permeability near the grid to characterize the reservoir reconstruction volume (SRV) fracture network while considering the CO2 diffusion effect. The results indicate that by using the incremental recovery rate and oil change rate as references, adaptive charts can be obtained for different Kf/Km and oil saturation. When Kf/Km is 1000 and the increase in the CO2 recovery rate reaches 1.5%, the lower limit of oil saturation is 0.54. When Kf/Km is 1000 and the increase in the CO2 recovery rate reaches 2%, the lower limit of oil saturation is 0.57. When the oil saturation is 0.5 and the CO2 huff and puff oil change rate reaches 0.3, the lower limit of Kf/Km is 700. Finally, when the oil saturation is 0.548 and the CO2 huff and puff oil change rate reaches 0.6, the lower limit of Kf/Km is 10. The research results are significant and can guide the design and application of on-site CO2 throughput test plans.
