The invention provides an
emulsified oil-displacing agent and a method for improving the
recovery efficiency of a
heavy oil reservoir. The
emulsified oil-displacing agent comprises water-soluble
carbonate,
choline chloride and
urea in a
molar ratio of 1: 2: 1. The method for improving the
recovery efficiency comprises the steps that gas 0.1-0.2 PV is injected into a reservoir through an
injection well in an injection-production well pattern of a target oil reservoir; after gas injection is completed, the 0.05-0.2 PV
emulsified oil-displacing agent is continuously injected into the reservoir stratum through the
injection well, and the concentration of the total
mass of the water-soluble
carbonate,
choline chloride and
urea is not lower than 0.5% on the basis that the total
mass of the oil-displacing agent is 100%; and after injection of the emulsified oil-displacing agent is completed, hot water with the temperature of 50-80 DEG C and the pressure of 0.1-0.3 PV is continuously injected into the reservoir stratum through the
injection well. According to the technical scheme, in-situ profile control and displacement of the remaining oil of the
heavy oil reservoir entering the later stage of steam flooding can be effectively achieved, the longitudinal swept volume is increased, and the
recovery efficiency is improved.
