摘要
柱塞样岩电实验能够为储层地质参数原位评价提供重要依据,其中介电频散特性可直接反映岩石含水孔隙度等信息。为精确表征柱塞样介电频散特性、辅助提升介电测井等原位数据反演精度,研制了基于微波谐振理论的介电测试系统,工作频率覆盖与介电频散测井仪匹配的100 MHz~1 GHz,利用微波谐振原理搭配标准材料校准获得高介电检测准确性。实验结果表明:岩石干样介电特性几乎不频散,孔隙水含量及矿化度是影响介电结果的关键因素;介电常数与含水孔隙度总体呈线性关系,数据离散程度和孔隙水矿化度的影响均随频率降低而提升,柱塞样介电频散特性也因地质成分和微观构造差异而改变。为进一步分析原因,开展基于有效介质理论(effective medium theory,EMT)的模型拟合,结果表明,在500 MHz以下频率范围,介电频散主要是由电导率引起,且与柱塞样中的黏土含量及其阳离子交换容量(cation exchange capacity,CEC)密切相关。
Abstract
Dielectric measurements of rock plug samples have been widely employed as an important basis for the in-situ evaluation of reservoir geological parameters. Key information, including saturated porosity, can be reflected by dielectric dispersion characteristics. In order to accurately characterize the dielectric dispersion behavior of plug samples and improve the inversion accuracy of in-situ data such as dielectric logging, a dielectric testing system based on microwave resonance theory was developed. The operating frequency range was set to 100 MHz~1 GHz to match that of dielectric dispersion logging tools. High measurement accuracy was achieved through the application of microwave resonance principles and calibration with standard materials. The experimental results show that the dielectric properties of dry rock samples are nearly non-dispersive, whereas the dielectric response is mainly affected by pore-water content and mineralization. A generally linear correlation is observed between permittivity and saturated porosity. Both the dispersion of the measured data and the influence of pore-water salinity are found to increase with decreasing frequency. In addition, the dielectric dispersion characteristics of plug samples are also found to be affected by differences in geological composition and microstructure. To further analyze the underlying mechanism, model fitting based on effective medium theory (EMT) was carried out. The results indicate that dielectric dispersion below 500 MHz is mainly controlled by electrical conductivity and is closely related to the clay content and cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the plug samples.

混合物介电常数的计算是一个具有理论意义和工程应用价值的研究难题,其结果不仅取决于各组分的体积分数,还受到微观结构、离子迁移、离子浓度及界面极化等多种因素的共同影响[33]。在微波频段,介电混合模型已被证明能有效预测多相混合物的介电常数。基于EMT理论,选取两种典型介电混合模型:复折射率模型(complex refractive index model,CRIM)和M-W(Maxwell-Wagner)模型,对实验所得介电检测结果进行拟合,以探讨频散特性差异的形成机制。鉴于柱塞样的孔隙已经过彻底清洗,可将样品组成简化为岩石骨架和孔隙水两部分,这两组分及整个柱塞样的复介电常数可以分别表示为ε*matrix、ε*water和ε*mix。
