The invention discloses a comprehensive brittleness evaluation method of supracrustal rocks of gas storage, and belongs to the technical field of rock brittleness evaluation. Firstly, the brittleness of a collected rock sample is evaluated on the basis of brittleness evaluation methods respectively based on a stress-strain curve, hardness and mineral composition; then the weighted value of the three brittleness evaluation methods is calculated by means of a weight back analysis method based on optimization theory; finally, comprehensive evaluation on the brittleness of the supracrustal rocks of gas storage is carried out. The method effectively solves a problem of limitation of single brittleness evaluation method in the prior art and has excellent practicability and high evaluation reliability. The collected rock sample has multiple applications, so that test cost is low.

A kind of CO 2 The evaluation method of the leakage risk area during the geological storage process uses the principle of sedimentary microfacies constraint, how to obtain the rock mechanical parameters of the caprock, and select a suitable fracture pressure prediction model to evaluate the mechanical sealing of the caprock, using fine geological models and numerical values. Model, applying reservoir numerical model theory, and in-depth study of CO through the established storage volume numerical model 2 Injection process until storage for 200 years to store pressure and CO in the body 2 Dynamic changes in saturation. Using the concepts of fluid potential and potential gradient in oil and gas migration theory combined with CO 2 Saturation dynamic distribution analysisCO 2 migration direction and accumulation area, and then according to the CO in the storage body 2 The migration direction and distribution characteristics of the storage body and sand body boundary are combined to conduct lateral CO 2 Leakage risk prediction; Based on the rupture pressure distribution characteristics of the caprock and the dynamic distribution characteristics of the pressure in the storage body, CO is quantitatively studied through the proposed identification formula of the caprock rupture risk area. 2 Possible leakage risk areas longitudinally along the migration path. This method is used in low permeability reservoir CO 2 It has important practical application value to achieve safe and efficient carbon sequestration during oil displacement.

The invention proposes a method for constructing a three-dimensional conceptual model of traps and reservoirs, constructing fault lines, assigning elevation values ​​to fault lines, and using fault lines to create fault planes, converting fault planes into faults in corresponding models; creating fault-free According to the fault throws of different faults, the corresponding structural planes are constructed. According to the faults, the structural planes are divided into the structural planes of each fault block. The sandstone top surfaces of different fault blocks are combined into one structural plane. Layer top structural map; set sandstone pinch-out area, construct sandstone isopach map, use sandstone top surface and sandstone isopach map to construct sandstone bottom structural surface; use caprock top surface, sandstone top surface and sandstone bottom surface to construct three-dimensional trap structure The three-dimensional lithological attributes are constructed in the model; on the basis of the three-dimensional trap structure model, the oil-water interface is set, and the corresponding lithological attributes and fluid attributes are created. The above method can quickly and accurately establish three-dimensional trap and reservoir models.
