Abstract

The invention discloses a method for oil displacement using carbon dioxide and foam. The method can be applied to low-permeability high-mineralization stratums, carbon dioxide and an aqueous solution containing a foaming agent are alternately injected to raise the efficiency of oil displacement, the low permeability means that the permeability is within the range of 1 to 10 mD, and the high mineralization means that the mineralization is less than 100 g / L. The method for oil displacement using carbon dioxide and foam is easy to operate, oil displacement using carbon dioxide and oil displacement using foam are combined, defects of oil displacement using a single material can be overcome, and the efficiency of oil displacement in low-permeability high-mineralization stratums can be distinctly raised.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for increasing oil recovery, which belongs to the technical field of oil exploitation, in particular to a method for flooding oil with carbon dioxide foam. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, carbon dioxide flooding is usually used in the gas injection development of oil fields. When gas is injected to displace crude oil, it can be mixed with crude oil to form gas-liquid miscible displacement, eliminating the influence of phase interface, thereby improving the efficiency of gas flooding. However, the fluidity of gas is higher than that of water, and the density difference between gas and oil is extremely large, so there are serious deficiencies in viscous fingering and gravity overriding. [0003] Foam flooding will form a mixed system of gas as the dispersed phase and surfactant solution as the dispersion medium-foam, which has a much higher apparent viscosity than gas and surfactant solution, and its flow...
