Problems solved by technology

However, considering the influence of formation wettability comprehensively, when the wettability of reservoir rock is neutral and weakly hydrophilic (65°
The substances that can change the wettability of rocks are mainly surfactants. Traditional single-chain surfactants will cause wettability reversal due to their own structure limitations, and the adjustability is small.

Abstract

The invention relates to microemulsion for improving core wettability. The microemulsion consists of a Gimini quaternary ammonium salt cationic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant and an aid of lower alkyl alcohol; a mass ratio of the Gimini quaternary ammonium salt cationic surfactant to the nonionic surfactant is 1:(1-60); and the aid accounts for 30 to 50 mass percent of the microemulsion. The microemulsion has a characteristics of oil-water miscibility, can improve the wetting condition of a stratum to a neutral weakly waterwet condition, and obviously reduce the surface tension of working fluid so as to reduce capillary pressure, remove water lock, reduce starting differential pressure and contribute to the flowback of the working fluid, so that the stratum is prevented from being damaged by the working fluid and the effect of stably increasing production of an oil gas well is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of oil and gas reservoir mining additives, in particular to a microemulsion for improving the wetting performance of rock cores. Background technique [0002] In the process of oil and gas development, after foreign fluids such as drilling fluid, cementing fluid and fracturing fluid invade the reservoir, due to the retention of capillary force, the driving pressure of the formation cannot completely discharge the foreign fluid from the formation, and the water saturation of the reservoir will increase. , the permeability of the oil and gas phase will decrease, resulting in liquid lock, and at the same time, the oil and gas recovery will be reduced, and the damage of the injected fluid to the reservoir will be increased. The flowback of the working fluid and the recovery of crude oil have opposite requirements on the wettability of the formation. When the formation is oil-wet, the capillary drop phenomenon is beneficia...
