Experimental study of pore structure and rock mechanical properties of tight sandstone after acid treatment
Acid treatment has been proven to effectively reduce the fracture initiation pressure in reservoirs, making it a viable method for stimulating deep tight sandstone reservoirs. However, the underlying mechanism of how sandstone pore structure and mechanical properties vary with acid treatment time remains unknown. Understanding this mechanism is crucial for studying the fracture initiation and propagation in tight sandstone reservoirs. In this study, to quantitatively analyze the changes in pore structure and mechanical properties of sandstone samples treated with acid for different times (0 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 120 h, and 168 h), nuclear magnetic resonance and uniaxial compression tests were employed to examine these changes. The results revealed that the number of mesopores and macropores increased rapidly after 6 h and 48 h of acid treatment, respectively. Additionally, the permeability showed a significant increase after 24 h of acid treatment. This can be attributed to the gradual dissolution of intergranular cement, leading to the formation of new pores that connect with the existing pore network. The peak strength of sandstone undergoes stepwise changes with acid treatment time, which can be divided into three stages: stage I (0–6 h), stage II (12–72 h), and stage III (120–168 h). Under the influence of acid treatment and uniaxial compression, the damage and damage change rate of sandstone treated with acid for 24 h reached the minimum. Moreover, a variation mechanism for sandstone after acid treatment was proposed.
