Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Estudo das alterações petrofísicas e mineralógicas em amostras de calcita e dolomita decorrentes da interação com água carbonatada e CO2 supercrítico(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-05-29) SOUZA, Felipe Pereira de; LUCAS, Cláudio Regis dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1695226159975283; HTTPS://ORCID.ORG/0000-0001-5443-462X; AUM, Pedro Tupã Pandava; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7515419219571335; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2339-9865CO2 capture, utilization, and storage techniques, known by the acronym CCUS (Carbon capture, utilization, and storage), have been studied as primary tools for achieving the decarbonization targets, stipulated to slow down the rise in temperature earth average. In this context, geological storage consists of injecting CO2 into the rock formation, so that it is trapped in saline aquifers, coal deposits or oil reservoirs. CO2 injection is already carried out, for example, in the Brazilian pre-salt fields, where the oil produced has a high concentration of CO2 in its composition. It is expected that other geological structures can be used for geological carbon storage. However, the geological sites must be carefully selected, one of the key points being the geochemical stability due to the contact of CO2 with the rock formation. Thus, this project aimed to study the process of interaction of CO2 with formations of carbonate rocks, to increase the fundamental knowledge regarding the processes of rock-fluid interaction in the geological storage of CO2. The methodology included the analysis of the petrophysical properties of commercial carbonate rocks (Indiana Limestone and Silurian Dolomite) and of the dolomitic carbonate sample from the Itaituba Formation, before and after exposure to CO2 in the form of carbonated water and in the supercritical form. We also used X-ray microtomography to study the porous structure of samples at different scales. The results showed that the Indiana rock samples present distributed porosity, being essentially formed by structures predominantly composed of pallets, skeletal grains, ooids and shell fragments. The samples of Silurian Dolomite presented a structure formed by less pores, however larger and more concentrated. The rock samples from the Itaituba formation showed very low porosity and permeability. The petrophysical properties evolved after contact with CO2. Rock-fluid interaction studies will show changes in rock matrices resulting from the dissolution/or expansion process. The microtomography technique of x-ray was used in the imaging of the samples to visualize the change in the morphology of the rocks, the technique allowed the comparison of before and after CO2 attack. The DRX and FRX analyzes showed positive results regarding the mineral composition of the samples used. The results of this work will contribute to the reduction of uncertainties related to the processes and mechanisms of the geological storage of CO2.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Estudo do efeito da saturação de óleo na acidificação de carbonatos(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-02-27) NEYRA, Jair Rodrigues; LUCAS, Cláudio Regis dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1695226159975283; HTTPS://ORCID.ORG/0000-0001-5443-462X; AUM, Pedro Tupã Pandava; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7515419219571335; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2339-9865Carbonate acidizing is a well stimulation technique used to increase oil production. This technique aims to inject acid into the formation below the fracture pressure, creating paths of high conductivity resulting from the dissolution of the rock by the acid. In the laboratory, most experiments are performed on rock samples saturated with water, due to the assumption that there is only water in the formation, after preflush and previous drilling and completion operations. However, different saturation conditions can occur in the formation due to its petrophysical characteristics and history of operations. One scenario is oil saturation in the porous medium. This work proposes to carry out physical experiments and evaluate the influence of oil saturation on the acidizing of carbonates. Reactive flow experiments were carried out using acid systems, with HCl 0.5M and HCl 15%, in rocks saturated with ultra pure water and liquid paraffin. The carbonate rock samples are from the Indiana Limestone outcrop with 3 in length and 1.5 in diameter. For oil saturation, a high flow rate of 20 mL/min was used for the two acid systems at room temperature (25°C); and with HCl 15%, the study was deepened with a temperature of 45°C at flow rates of 1 and 20 mL/min. The x-ray microtomography technique was used to image the samples to visualize the wormhole morphology. Through it, the influence of oil on the structure of the wormhole and the value of PVBt was compared, highlighting the impact of oil for each acid concentration. The PVBt curve of HCl 0.5M has values above those presented using HCl 15%, in samples saturated with water. This effect is due to the lower concentration promoting a lower dissolution power of carbonates. The analysis of the wormhole area and the porosity distribution after acidizing show that the oil influenced an efficient propagation of the wormhole and lower consumption of acid. PVBt values are lower when the sample is saturated with oil in all scenarios. The use of HCl 15% in the sample saturated with oil and at a temperature of 45°C. In this scenario, the value reduces by about 54% when using HCl 15% at 20 mL/min.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Influência do transporte advectivo no processo de dissolução de rochas carbonáticas em ácido clorídrico.(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-04-30) COSTA, Brenda Matos da; SILVA, Daniel; AUM, Pedro Tupã Pandava; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7515419219571335Carbonate rock stimulation is a technique used in the petroleum industry to increase the productivity index of wells by increasing the permeability of a region close to the well. In acidification, an acid is injected into the reservoir rock. In carbonate rocks, the acid interacts with the rock to promote dissolution. The acid-rock occurrence is characterized by being essentially heterogeneous due to the different phases of the reactants. The quantification of occurrence taxa in heterogeneous systems is complex, as it involves a combination of several variables that are relevant to the manifestation of transport. The way in which acid interacts with the porous medium can be analyzed using various techniques and equipment that can help with understanding. The most common equipment is the Rotating Disk Apparatus (RDA), which consists of a reactor, which can operate different pressure and temperature ranges and different rotations. However, due to the difficulty of acquiring this type of equipment, several experiments have been reported using alternative methodologies. Thus, this work aims to study how measuring the reaction rate using different methodologies can influence the result. A comparative experimental study was conducted using three different methodologies, namely, static dissolution, dynamic dissolution, and rotating disk, to measure the impact of mineralogy, porosity, rotation speed, and pressure applied to the reaction system. The focus is to evaluate to what extent the results of the static and dynamic dissolution experiments diverge from the experiments conducted with the rotating disk, which is considered the standard for this type of analysis. In general, it was observed that increasing rotation promotes an increase in the reaction rate of 10.36% from static to dynamic at 100 RPM and 63.07% from static to dynamic at 500 RPM for Indiana limestone, a similar behavior was observed for other mineralogies. Additionally, from obtaining the diffusion coefficient in the process of dynamic dissolution and rotating disk of 3.75x10^-5 and 9.13x10^-5, respectively, for coquina samples, it was evidenced that the absence of pressure in the system hinders the mass transfer process due to the presence of CO2 (g), thus underestimating the diffusion in the carbonate – HCl system.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Simulação numérica da acidificação de carbonatos utilizando malhas obtidas a partir de imagens de MICRO-CT(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-05-21) SANTANA, Beatriz dos Santos; VICENTE, Bruno José; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4190693236960837; AUM, Pedro Tupã Pandava; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7515419219571335Matrix acidizing is one of the well stimulation techniques that consists of pumping an acid solution at a pressure lower than the fracture pressure of the rock. In carbonate formations, as a result of the acid-calcite reaction, part of the rock is dissolved and high conductivity channels, called wormholes, are created. One of the major challenges associated with simulating this type of process is to incorporate the heterogeneities inherent in carbonate rocks into the numerical meshes. The main objective of this work is to simulate acidification in carbonate rock plugs using the initial porosity field obtained from a microCT image. Two-scale modeling was used, with the balance of the amount of movement carried out using the Navier-Stokes-Brinkman approach. The simulations were carried out in a code developed in openFOAM, varying the speed of the acid on the face and obtaining the PVbt (Pore Volume to Breakthrough) for each condition. Mesh convergence analyses and the impact of varying the inlet interstitial velocity were carried out. Simulation results were compared with initial porosity fields generated using the uniform, normal and lognormal distributions. The initial porosity and permeability distributions obtained were consistent with the microCT image. Variations in the number of cells had no significant impact on the PVbt. By varying the injection speed on the face, it was possible to obtain the uniform, conical, branched, dominant wormhole, dissolution on the face and compact dissolution patterns, obtaining the PVbt curve to determine the optimum point (lowest PVbt). For the model developed from the image, the lowest PVbt obtained was 0.262 with an input speed of 4 2,12 10 m/s − . For the models with uniform, normal and lognormal porosity distributions, the lowest PVbt values obtained were 0.276, 0.261 and 0.309 at an input speed of 5 8,3 10 m/s − . The results presented showed that the methodology used to obtain porosity fields from microCT images can be used to obtain results that are more representative in terms of accounting for rock heterogeneities.
