Abstract:

The permeability of natural gas hydrate (NGH) turbidite reservoirs typically exhibits significant anisotropy, with anisotropy being a crucial basis for evaluating reservoir production. The presence of hydrates, as a crucial constituent of the solid framework, not only impacts the overall permeability but also influences the permeability anisotropy. To investigate the saturation sensitivity of permeability anisotropy, a series of simulations are performed by integrating particle flow and computational fluid dynamics methods to construct the homogeneous and layered numerical samples and compute the evolution of permeability anisotropy. It is shown that the permeability is isotropic for homogeneous sediments and the isotropy remains unchanged regardless of variations in hydrate saturation. The permeability of layered sediments, in contrast, exhibits significant anisotropy due to the presence of dominant channels within the coarse layer. For uniformly distributed hydrates, the more effective blockage in coarse layers results in a reduction in anisotropy. While for preferentially distributed hydrates, the excess blocking of coarse layers makes the dominant channels transfer to the fine layers, the further blocking causes a U-shaped anisotropy-saturation curve characterized by a decrease-increase transformation. During the reservoir production process, the preponderance channels blocked by hydrates will be cleared and the horizontal permeability will significantly increase. As a result, the production efficiency of horizontal wells may exceed expectations. The findings offer a parameter support for production estimation and environmental assessment.
