Problems solved by technology

In order to evaluate the effect of miscible flooding and how to better realize miscible flooding in the mine, it is necessary to conduct laboratory experiments in advance. At present, the indoor experimental research of carbon dioxide flooding mainly includes carbon dioxide miscible flooding experiments and thin tube test minimum miscible pressure experiments, but the current laboratory memory Technical deficiencies in two aspects limit the development of corresponding carbon dioxide miscible flooding experiments

The corresponding technical defects are as follows: Technical defect 1, the short core used in laboratory experiments cannot realize the miscibility of carbon dioxide and crude oil in a short time, resulting in the inability to accurately evaluate the effect of complete miscible flooding

Technical defect 2, the pore throat size of the sand packing pipe in the thin tube test minimum miscible pressure experiment is not of the same order of magnitude as the actual core pore throat size, which makes the minimum miscible pressure tested by the device inaccurate

The reason is that the sand-packed tube is used to test the minimum miscible pressure in the laboratory at present. The sand-packed tube is filled with quartz sand. The porosity is too large compared with the actual reservoir. The pore-throat size is not in the same order of magnitude as the actual core pore-throat size, which makes the minimum miscible pressure tested by the device inaccurate. The results obtained are far from the actual situation. Under the condition of large pore throats, the contact area between carbon dioxide and crude oil is larger, the opportunities are more, and the miscibility may be greatly increased. The difficulty of miscibility increases greatly under the pressure, so the minimum miscible pressure tested by the device is not accurate enough

In many oilfields in my country, the measured minimum miscible pressure is too high due to factors such as the heavy component of crude oil, even exceeding the rupture pressure, making it difficult to realize miscible flooding. At present, a relatively promising way is to inject and add reagents to change the properties of crude oil or carbon dioxide to achieve a reduction. The purpose of its minimum miscibility pressure
