Problems solved by technology

In the third issue of "Petroleum and Natural Gas Chemical Industry" in 2008, an article "Research on the Plugging Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Nitrogen Foam in Porous Media" published by Zhang Xing was recorded. The experimental device and method for the influence of foam plugging performance, but did not mention the measurement method of gas saturation in the rock core and its influence on foam plugging performance
The measurement methods of oil saturation and gas saturation in rock cores are quite different, and they have different influence mechanisms on foam plugging performance. The former affects the stability of foam, and the latter reflects the plugging ability of foam. Therefore, the current experiment The device cannot measure the gas saturation in the rock, nor can it study the influence of gas saturation on foam plugging

Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for measuring a gas phase saturation degree of single tube core during a foam flooding process. The apparatus mainly comprises a foam generation device, a middle container for holding formation water, a constant temperature oven , a core tube and a data acquisition system, wherein the foam generation device part mainly for mainly producing foam for core flooding mainly comprises a gas cylinder, middle containers, a constant flow pump, a foam generator and other equipment, the core tube, a pressure gauge, a scale, a back pressure valve and an output fluid collection device are arranged inside the constant temperature oven, an injected fluid is injected into the core in the constant temperature oven, a quality of the core tube is measured, and the data acquisition system mainly for data acquisition mainly comprises a computer, a pressure sensor, a weight weighing sensor and other equipment. According to the present invention, changes of the qualities of the sing tube core at different time points are converted into different gas phase saturation degrees in the tube core, and the fluid injection amount and changes of pressure on both ends of the single tube core are combined so as to analyze reservation conditions of the foam in the single tube core at different injection amounts.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and method for measuring the gas phase saturation of single-pipe rock core foam driving, belonging to the technical field of petrochemical industry. Background technique [0002] As a good oil displacement agent, foam has gradually been recognized by people. It can greatly increase the apparent viscosity of the injected fluid, increase the swept area, and is selective for oil-water plugging. There are many factors that affect the foam plugging ability. In addition to the gas-liquid ratio of the foam system, the permeability of the rock, the type and concentration of the foam system, the injection method, and the oil saturation, the gas phase saturation is the most important factor that affects the foam. Another important factor affecting the plugging capacity, the value of this parameter reflects the residual degree of gas in the core, that is, the gas occupies a certain pore space and becomes bound gas, thereby reduci...
