Problems solved by technology

[0009] One of the technical problems to be solved by the present invention is that the existing surfactants have poor oil displacement efficiency in the tertiary oil recovery process, and at the same time, because the oil displacement system contains inorganic alkali, it will cause damage to the formation and oil well, corrode equipment and pipelines, and be difficult to break emulsion To solve the problem, provide a new surfactant composition for enhanced oil recovery, which has high interface activity, strong oil washing ability, simple system, will not cause damage to formations and oil wells, and will not corrode equipment and piping and does not cause difficulties in demulsification

Abstract

The invention relates to a surfactant combination for enhancing oil recovery and a preparation method thereof, and mainly solves the problem of low oil displacement efficiency in the tertiary recovery process in the existing surfactants and the problem of damage to stratums and oil wells, corrosion of equipment and pipes and difficulty in demulsification because inorganic base is contained in oil displacement systems. The surfactant combination comprises a cationic surfactant and an anionic-nonionic surfactant, wherein the cationic surfactant is selected from any one of quaternary ammonium salt and quaternary ammonium alkali; the anionic-nonionic surfactant is a surfactant containing ethoxy nonionic groups and carboxyl or sulfo anionic groups; the mol ratio of the cationic surfactant to the anionic-nonionic surfactant is (1:0.01) to (1:100). The surfactant combination and the preparation method thereof preferably solve the problems, and can be applied to the tertiary recovery process of oil fields.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a surfactant composition for enhancing oil recovery and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the increase of the world's energy demand, the rational development and utilization of oil has attracted great attention, and the requirements for the amount and efficiency of oil extraction are also getting higher and higher. Realizing the efficient exploitation of oil and gas resources not only has practical significance for increasing crude oil production, but also has important strategic significance. Conventional oil recovery methods (primary and secondary methods) generally only produce 1 / 3 of the crude oil geological reserves, and about 2 / 3 of the crude oil has not been recovered. Therefore, in the case of increasingly tight energy sources, enhanced oil recovery has become a A major topic of oil exploration research. Tertiary oil recovery technology is an effective method to increase oil recovery, wh...
