Problems solved by technology

However, in the current situation, the production process of this surfactant is relatively complicated, and the production cost is still high, so it is unacceptable for oilfields to use it in large quantities.
Moreover, when this surfactant is used alone to drive oil, its concentration range and salinity range for ultra-low interfacial tension are narrow

Abstract

The invention relates to a surfactant for displacing oil and a preparation method. According to the invention, the preparation of the surfactant for displacing oil comprises the following steps: adding a residue sulfonate surfactant and polyoxyethylene octylphenol ether sulfonate into a mixing kettle; starting stirring with the increase of temperature to 45 DEG C; slowly adding isopropanol and water into the mixing kettle, followed by continuous stirring for 45 to 60 minutes; and carrying out cooling and discharging to obtain a surfactant for displacing oil. The surfactant for displacing oil comprises the following components by weight: 70 to 80% of the residue sulfonate surfactant, 10 to 15% of polyoxyethylene octylphenol ether sulfonate, 2 to 5% of isopropanol, and the balance being water. The surfactant for displacing oil provided in the invention enables the oil-water interfacial tension to be reduced to 10-3mN/m that is the lowest level under the high-temperature, high-salinity, and alkali-free condition; and a single surfactant for displacing oil enables the recovery efficiency to be improved by over 13.5%. Therefore, the surfactant for displacing oil has broad application prospects in tertiary oil recovery field of high temperature and high salinity reservoir.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tertiary oil recovery, in particular to an oil displacement surfactant suitable for high-temperature and high-salt oil reservoirs and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Various chemical flooding technologies containing surfactants are widely used in tertiary oil recovery, such as ASP flooding, binary compound flooding, and surfactant flooding. Surfactant plays an important role in these oil displacement processes, and it mainly achieves the purpose of enhancing oil recovery by reducing the oil-water interfacial tension and increasing the capillary number. For ordinary oil reservoirs, the research on oil displacement surfactants is relatively successful, and the application effect is relatively ideal. For example, petroleum sulfonate and alkylbenzene sulfonate can be compatible with formation fluids to form ultra-low interfacial tension to achieve enhanced oil recovery. the goal o...
