Embodiment 1

[0048] Example 1, the repeatability test of the same kind of gel plugging strength

[0049] In a clean beaker, a number of subterranean polymer cross-linked gels are prepared, sampled with a sampler 2 and placed in the pore-throat simulator 1 having only the first lumen 11 and the second lumen 12, wherein the pore-throat simulator 1 is the first The diameters of the first lumen 11 (corresponding to the pore) and the second lumen 12 (corresponding to the throat) are 4 mm and 2 mm, respectively. After connecting the test device, turn on the pump and inject water at a rate of 1ml / min to push the gel to migrate in the pore throat simulator 1 to monitor the pressure dynamics. The highest pressure value is the breakthrough pressure of the gel, which represents the plugging strength of the gel to the pore throat, and the slope of the curve reflects the elastic properties of the gel material. The experiment was repeated four times under the same conditions, and the pressure dynamics ...

Embodiment 2

[0050] Embodiment 2, the analogy test of different gels

[0051] Three kinds of gels with different properties were configured, and the three kinds of gels with different properties were respectively placed in the pore-throat simulator 1 having only the first lumen 11 and the second lumen 12, and three experiments were carried out under the same conditions. The diameters of the first lumen 11 and the second lumen 12 of the pore-throat simulator 1 are 4 mm and 2 mm, respectively. After connecting the test device, turn on the pump and inject water at a rate of 1ml / min to test its breakthrough pressure. The results of three experiments show that the plugging strength measured by different gels is very consistent with its own properties, indicating that the test method is highly analogous and can measure the plugging characteristics of a series of gel systems with different properties from weak gels to strong gels , with the advantage of quantitative characterization. The test r...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and method for quantitatively measuring and characterizing the plugging properties of gel in porous media, in particular to a method and device for measuring the performance of gel plugging regulators in reservoirs. Background technique [0002] At present, most oilfields in China have entered the stage of high water cut, and the most important measure to deal with the rapid rise of water cut and severe water channeling and flooding is to implement profile control and water shutoff. As the most commonly used plugging agent, gel is widely used in major oil fields. Due to the different reservoir conditions of each oilfield, the performance of the gel plugging modifier required is also different. Therefore, it is very necessary to evaluate the basic parameters and performance indicators of gel in the reservoir, and it is also the basis for screening and developing gel plugging modifiers under corresponding reservoir cond...
