Problems solved by technology

However, in the actual application process, because the experimental conditions cannot meet the assumptions of the mathematical model of the relative permeability curve, the experimental data measured according to the traditional unsteady method cannot truly reflect the seepage law of polymer flooding, so the calculated polymer Poor reliability of flooding relative permeability curve
In addition, the method of obtaining the relative permeability curve of polymer flooding by directly reducing the relative permeability of the water phase ignores the influencing factors in the process of polymer flooding, so the error is large and the practicability is poor.
To sum up, it can be seen that there is no reliable method for obtaining the relative permeability curve of polymer flooding at present, so it is necessary to propose a method for obtaining a more realistic and accurate relative permeability curve of polymer flooding, which provides a basis for the study of polymer flooding.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for measuring a polymer flooding relative permeability curve. The method comprises the following steps: first carrying out a polymer core flooding experiment to obtain production experiment data at different moments, then establishing a fitting target function and a polymer flooding relative permeability curve model by taking the obtained production experiment data as fitting data, and finally continuously regulating a parameter of the relative permeability curve model by virtue of an automatic history matching algorithm through a numerical simulator until a value of the fitting target function reaches an allowable error range, so as to obtain the optimal polymer flooding relative permeability curve. The method is simple and easy to operate, and help may be provided for research on polymer flooding permeability rules.
