The invention discloses a method for evaluating the thickness of a water film after water-phase
imbibition flowback of gas reservoir rock containing
expansive clay. The method comprises the following steps: determining the
porosity of a
rock core sample according to a pressure pulse method, and performing vacuum pressurization on the
rock core sample to saturate absolute ethyl
alcohol; performing
nuclear magnetic resonance testing on the
rock core sample to obtain a T2 map, performing inversion, and determining pore structure distribution data;
drying the rock
core sample, and carrying out a water phase
imbibition flowback experiment on the dried rock
core sample; performing a
nuclear magnetic resonance test on the rock
core sample after the water phase
imbibition flowback experiment to obtain a T2 map, performing inversion, and determining the
volume fraction of the water phase after imbibition flowback; and finally, determining the water film thickness after the water phase imbibition flowback according to the
porosity of the rock core sample, the pore structure distribution data and the
volume fraction of the water phase after the imbibition flowback. According to the method,
ethanol is adopted as a saturated medium to measure the pore structure of the
rock sample, hydration of
clay minerals can be avoided, the pore structure of the rock is not damaged, the test cost is low, and operation is convenient, safe and efficient.
