Problems solved by technology

Due to the strong heterogeneity of the reservoir, and large water-flooded channels have been formed in some areas in the middle and late stages of huff and puff, conventional steam flooding is likely to cause uneven displacement of steam, large heat loss, and small steam sweep volume , which greatly affects the steam flooding effect and recovery factor

Abstract

The invention provides a method for raising the recovery efficiency of a heavy oil deposit through chemical steam flooding. The method comprises steps of: 1. selecting an oil deposit and injecting steam, wherein the burial depth of an oil layer of the selected oil deposit is 900 to 1600 m, the effective thickness of the oil layer is greater than or equal to 8 m, the viscosity of crude in the oil layer is greater than 100 mPa.s, and the volume of the injected steam is 0.2 to 0.25 times of that of pores in the stratum; 2. injecting a foaming agent, nitrogen and steam in a steam injection well in a mixed mode for 10 to 30 days, wherein the ratio of the injected foaming agent to the injected steam, by mass, is equal to (0.4 to 1.2) to 100, and the ratio of the injected nitrogen to the injected steam, by volume underground, is equal to (0.5 to 1.5) to 100; 3. injecting an oil displacement agent and steam in the steam injection well in a mixed mode for 5 to 10 days, wherein the ratio of the oil displacement agent to the injected steam, by mass, is equal to (0.2 to 0.8) to 100; 4. only injecting steam for 80 to 120 days; and 5. repeating steps 2, 3 and 4. The speed of steam injection is 1.6 to 2.0 ton / day, hectare, thickness per meter.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil recovery in oilfields, in particular to a chemical steam flooding method using foaming agent, nitrogen and oil displacement agent to assist steam flooding to enhance oil recovery. Background technique [0002] With the massive consumption of oil and gas resources and the rising demand, heavy oil resources have become the main position for the next step of oil and gas resources replacement development due to their characteristics of wide distribution, huge reserves, and low production rate of reserves. [0003] Domestic heavy oil resources are very rich, and the predicted proven reserves are 80×10 8 t, the current proven reserves are 20.6×10 8 t. However, due to the high viscosity and poor flow of heavy oil, it is difficult to exploit. At present, in the mining of heavy oil reservoirs, steam injection is the most important development method. More than 90% of the production of heavy oil comes from st...
