Study on the adaptability of binary flooding in a certain oil field

Abstract

To explore the synergistic mechanism of polymer and surfactant in the binary combination flooding of low-permeability reservoirs, the adaptability experiment of polymer salt-resistant partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide and nonionic surfactant was carried out in the indoor system. Experiments at different ratios are also performed. The results show that the selected poly/surface binary flooding system increases with the concentration of polymer or surfactant, the viscosity of the poly/surface binary system also increases and, at the same time, has better temperature and salt resistance. The viscosity of the binary system will decrease when the salinity increases. When the surfactant concentration CS = 0.2% and the polymer concentration CP = 0.2%, the viscosity of the system is the highest. The viscosity of the poly/table binary system at different concentrations decreases when the temperature rises: pure polymer (CP = 0.2%), poly/table binary system displacement fluid CP = 0.1% + CS = 0.2% and CP = 0.2% + CS = 0.2%; and the injection pressure first rises and then drops. The final recovery rate is 51.8%, which meets the development of most oil reservoirs.
