Abstract

Reliable data on rock thermal characteristics (heat conductivity, temperature conductivity, and heat capacity) is required to solve a number of theoretical and practical technogenic problems, including those related to geothermal studies (as, for example, a reliable estimate of heat flows), interpretation of thermal logging results, application of thermal heavy oil recovery methods, etc. Solving of these problems requires development of thermal petrophysics experimental facilities, which is a separate scientific challenge. Regardless of the available guidelines and design solutions, search for the most suitable tools of studying rock thermal characteristics is still underway.

Rock thermal characteristics in Tatarstan oil fields have been studied by Yakovlev B.A., Nikolaev S.A., Lipaev A.A.

The paper discusses study of rock thermal characteristics using commercial tools – DSC 204 HP differential scanning calorimeter and LFA 467 complex designed for temperature conductivity measuring. The benefit of these tools is measurement rapidity and possibility of determining dependence of specific heat capacity and temperature conductivity of unconsolidated rock samples on temperature with actual rock pressure simulation.

Key words:

core material, rock thermal characteristics, reservoir rock, heavy oil, poroperm properties, core temperature, temperature conductivity coefficient, specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity
