Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving the recovery ratio of normal heavy oil reservoirs in water-flooding development, comprising the steps of (1) preparing microgel and water to be 1000-3000mg/l of solution; (2), preparing surfactants and water to be 2000-3000mg/l of solution; and (3), filling a microgel solution slug and a surfactant solution slug from a water well, wherein the microgel is copolymer of acrylic amide and methylene diacrylamide; the surfactant is alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant. In the invention, based on the characteristic of strong anisotropy of the water-flooding developed reservoirs, the method fully uses a movable microgel profile control action mechanism and a surfactant oil-displacing action mechanism in a composite system through a filled composite microgel profile control system, so that the method can improve the anisotropy in reservoir stratums and among reservoir stratums, solve a fingering condition, increase water-displacing waves and volumes and improve the displacement efficiency, thereby drastically improving the oil recovery; indoor core tests show that the total recovery ratio is up to 80-90%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of oil recovery, in particular to a method for improving the recovery rate of common heavy oil reservoirs developed by water flooding. Background technique [0002] In common heavy oil reservoirs developed by water flooding, due to the ubiquitous characteristics of strong intralayer and interlayer heterogeneity and high oil-water viscosity ratio, there are serious tongue and finger phenomena in the water injection development of the reservoir. When the oilfield enters the later stage of development, tongue and finger phenomena become more obvious, which seriously affects the improvement of crude oil recovery. [0003] Many experts have been working hard to discuss how to improve the development effect of this type of oil reservoir and increase the recoverable reserves. Du Yuhong et al. (Du Yuhong, Wu Xingcai, Chen Hong, Zeng Qingqiao, Application of Movable Gel Control and Displacement Technology in Common Heavy Oil ...
