Ultra-deep carbonate gas reservoirs are deeply buried and high in temperature, and the change rule of high temperature on the seepage capacity of multi-type reservoirs is still unclear. The cores of the fourth member of Dengying Formation in the Gaoshiti-Moxi area were selected, the gas single-phase permeability of the rock samples during the heating and cooling process, the gas-water interfacial tension and the gas-water two-phase relative permeability at different temperatures were measured, and then the effect law of temperature on the seepage capacity of the multi-type ultra-deep carbonate gas reservoir was obtained. The research results show that: in the range of 20-120 ℃, with the change of temperature, the gas single-phase seepage capacity of different types of reservoir rock samples changes as a power function. The decrease of gas-phase permeability during the heating process is jointly affected by the increase of gas viscosity, the expansion of dolomite crystals, and the migration of rock particles after embrittlement. After one heating and cooling process, the irreversible degree of permeability of fractured-cavity type rock samples was the highest at 82.52% due to the development of micro-fractures, followed by 27.63% for pore type due to the development of small pores and throats, and the lowest was 9.46% for pore-cavity type. Fractured-cavity rock samples are temperature-sensitive rock samples, while pore type and pore-cavity type rock samples are temperature-resistant rock samples. The upper temperature limit of the target multi-type gas reservoir is concentrated around 46-50 ℃. The temperature increase mainly improves the gas-displacing water efficiency and the gas-water two-phase seepage capacity by reducing the water-gas viscosity ratio and the water-gas viscosity ratio at the formation temperature is about 1/3 of the normal temperature. The gas-water phase permeability curves of multi-type reservoirs under high temperature conditions can better represent the two-phase seepage characteristics of actual formations. The effect law of temperature on the seepage capacity of multi-type ultra-deep carbonate gas reservoirs can provide a theoretical basis for the efficient development of such gas reservoirs.
