Abstract

The invention discloses a W / O / W type active viscous oil blocking agent. The blocking agent comprises internal phase water, viscous oil and external phase water. A nonionic surfactant is adopted between the internal phase water and the viscous oil. An ionic surfactant is adopted between the viscous oil and the external phase water. According to the invention, a W / O / W composite structure is adopted, W / O with a relatively large viscosity is coated by the external phase water layer, such that defects in prior arts of high viscosity, high construction pressure and poor selectivity upon an oil-water layer during an active viscous oil blocking agent injection process are overcome. With the blocking agent provided by the invention, the ground fluidity is good, and the injection pressure is low. When the blocking agent enters the stratum, the emulsion is demulsified, and W / O emulsion with a high viscosity is released, such that oil well water exits can be effectively blocked, and defects of existing active viscous oil blocking agents are overcome. The technical scheme provided by the invention is especially suitable for technical features of offshore oilfields.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to an active heavy oil plugging agent for oil wells, in particular to a W / O / W type active heavy oil plugging agent and a preparation method. Background technique

[0002] Water production from oil wells is a common problem in oilfield development. The harm caused by the water output of oil wells is very obvious, such as reducing oil production, increasing water production, and increasing the cost of water treatment. In order to solve this problem, people use a variety of blocking agents for water blocking, including: cement, resin, particles, gel, inorganic precipitation, etc. But the plugging agent mentioned above does not have the characteristics of real water blocking and oil blocking.

[0003] In order to reduce the damage of plugging agents to oil layers, people have done a lot of work. Among them, heavy oil plugging agents are currently recognized as one of the few selective plugging agents. The use of thick oil plugging ...
