Abstract:

Abstract:  We have successfully synthesized hydrocarbonbearing inclusions in carbonate at the temperature and pressure of 150 ℃ and 40 MPa, which are near the condition of natural reservoir underground 4 kmAll synthetic hydrocarbonbearing inclusions have been analyzed by microscope and microfluorescence and fourier transform infrared spectroscopyThe results show that the synthesized hydrocarbonbearing inclusions are very similar to those in real reservoirsOur experiments give us four important insights, including: (1) immiscibility of oil and water is the main reason for hydrocarbonbearing inclusions and aqueous inclusions distributed in different fractures; (2) rapid accumulation of oil and gas can be recorded by fluid inclusions; (3) the study of synthetic hydrocarbonbearing inclusions at the temperature and pressure of real reservoir will offer references and standards for the analysis of fluid inclusions in reservoirs; (4) experiment of synthetic hydrocarbonbearing inclusions is a good method for understanding the mechanism of oilwaterrocks interreaction in reservoirs.
