Abstract

A manufacturing method of a big-model low-permeability microcrack core includes: (1) determining the size of a microcrack core to be manufactured; (2) placing stones in a baking oven to bake for 24h under 120° C., placing the stones into a mixer, mixing and spraying oil, enabling the oil to seep into the stone, evenly forming a thin oil film on stone's surface; (3) mixing the oil sprayed stone with quartz sand and cement, adding water to mix evenly to obtain cement paste; (4) spreading butter on core mold's inner surface to form a thin butter film, pouring the cement paste into the core mold to obtain a cement sample; (5) loading confining pressure outside the core according to the requirements of porosity and permeability of the mold to adjust a pore permeability value; (6) obtaining the big-model core with microcrack after the cement sample is dried and formed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A manufacturing method of a big-model low-permeability microcrack core, comprising the following steps successively:
(1) determining a size of a microcrack core to be manufactured;
(2) placing a plurality of stones in a baking oven to bake for 24 h under 120° C., after baking, placing the plurality of stones into a mixer, mixing and spraying an oil, and keeping the mixture of the plurality of stones and the oil for 2 h after mixing evenly to enable the oil to seep into the plurality of stones and evenly forming a layer of thin oil film on a surface of the plurality of stones;
(3) mixing the plurality of stones sprayed by the oil in step (2) with a quartz sand and a cement, and then adding water and mixing evenly to obtain a cement paste;
(4) spreading a butter on an inner surface of a core mould to form a layer of thin butter film on the inner surface of the core mould, pouring the cement paste in step (3) into the core mould, and vibrating the cement paste in the core mould by a vibrating rod during pouring to obtain a cement sample;
(5) loading a predetermined confining pressure outside the core according to a degree of porosity of the mould and the permeability after pouring, so as to adjust a pore permeability value; and
(6) forming the big-model low-permeability microcrack core after drying the cement sample.

2. The manufacturing method of a big-model low-permeability microcrack core according to claim 1 , wherein, in step (2), the plurality of stones are stones with a diameter of 5 to 10 mm, which simulate a conglomerate rock or a core developed with microcrack.

3. The manufacturing method of a big-model low-permeability microcrack core according to claim 1 , wherein, in step (3), a particle size of the quartz sand is 80 to 120 meshes, and the cement is portland cement.

4. The manufacturing method of a big-model low-permeability microcrack core according to claim 1 , wherein, in step (3), a mass ratio of the water to the cement is 0.3 to 0.6, a mass ratio of the cement to the quartz sand is 0.2 to 0.7, and a mass ratio of the stone to the quartz sand is 1.5 to 3.3.

5. The manufacturing method of a big-model low-permeability microcrack core according to claim 2 , wherein, in step (3), a mass ratio of the water to the cement is 0.3 to 0.6, a mass ratio of the cement to the quartz sand is 0.2 to 0.7, and a mass ratio of the stone to the quartz sand is 1.5 to 3.3.

6. The manufacturing method of a big-model low-permeability microcrack core according to claim 3 , wherein, in step (3), a mass ratio of the water to the cement is 0.3 to 0.6, a mass ratio of the cement to the quartz sand is 0.2 to 0.7, and a mass ratio of the stone to the quartz sand is 1.5 to 3.3.

7. The manufacturing method of a big-model low-permeability microcrack core according to claim 3 , wherein, the predetermined confining pressure is 20 MPa, the degree of porosity of the mould is 10.66% and the pore permeability value is 0.108mD.
