摘要:

砾石充填是应对天然气水合物储层防砂增产需求的有效完井技术手段,其中砾石界面间摩擦及其与水合物的胶结行为,直接影响充填过程和砾石充填结构的力学特性。然而,目前仍缺乏从颗粒尺度系统揭示水合物与充填砾石颗粒间摩擦与胶结作用机制的研究,对润湿—温度—接触构型协同作用下的颗粒间微力定量表征亦相对不足。本文依托自主搭建的高精度微力测试装置并结合原位高分辨显微观测,在可控的单颗粒接触尺度下,明确区分干燥、微浸润与全浸润三种润湿状态,以及裸露接触、冰包覆与水合物包覆等接触构型,系统测试了四氢呋喃(THF)水合物、冰与砾石颗粒间的摩擦系数和胶结强度。结果表明:(1)THF水合物颗粒的摩擦系数整体高于冰,主要与其表面更粗糙、滑移中更易发生脆性微破裂有关;(2)界面摩擦系数随润湿度呈非线性变化,少量液态水具有薄膜润滑效应,过量则因黏滞与液桥作用导致摩擦系数回升;砾石被冰或水合物包覆时,摩擦系数显著降低;(3)低温下水合物—砾石与冰—砾石界面均存在明显胶结,且失效形式以界面脆性断裂为主,本实验中破坏更易发生在颗粒—水合物界面而非水合物本体。上述结果在颗粒尺度上厘清了润湿程度、温度与接触构型对水合物、冰与砾石间摩擦、胶结行为的控制机理,为砾石充填工艺参数化建模与防砂增产过程可靠性评估提供了依据。

Abstract:

Gravel packing is an effective completion technique to meet sand-control and productivity-enhancement needs of natural gas hydrate reservoirs. Friction at gravel-gravel interfaces and their bonding with hydrates directly affect the packing process and the mechanical properties of the gravel-pack structure. However, particle-scale studies that systematically clarify the mechanisms of friction and bonding between hydrates and packing gravel are still lacking, and quantitative characterization of inter-particle micro-forces under the coupled effects of “wetting-temperature-contact type” remains insufficient. In this study, a customized high-precision micro-force testing apparatus, combined with in-situ high-resolution microscopic observation, was employed to investigate inter-particle interactions at the single-particle contact scale. Three wetting states-dry, partially wetted, and fully wetted-and multiple contact configurations, including bare contact, ice-coated contact, and hydrate-coated contact, were clearly distinguished. The friction coefficients and bond strengths among tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrate, ice, and gravel particles were systematically measured. The results show that: (1) THF-hydrate particles exhibit overall higher friction coefficients than ice, primarily due to their roher surfaces and the higher propensity for brittle micro-fracture during sliding; (2) interfacial friction varies nonlinearly with water content: compared to dry particle contacts, a modest amount of liquid water reduces the friction coefficient due to thin-film lubrication, whereas excess water increases the friction coefficient again through viscosity and capillary-bridge effects; when gravel is coated by ice or hydrate, the friction coefficient decreases markedly; (3) at low temperatures, pronounced bonding occurs at both hydrate-gravel and ice-gravel interfaces, with failure dominated by interfacial brittle fracture, indicating that rupture preferentially occurs at the particle-hydrate interface rather than within the hydrate itself. These particle-scale findings elucidate how wetting, temperature, and contact configuration govern friction coefficient and bond strength among hydrates, ice, and gravel, and they provide a basis for parameterized modeling of gravel-packing operations and for reliability assessment in sand control and productivity enhancement.
