Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an experimental device for researching viscoelastic polymers, in particular to a device and method for measuring elastic turbulence characteristics of viscoelastic polymers in porous media. Background technique [0002] The evaluation and practice of my country's enhanced oil recovery (EOR) potential have proved that chemical flooding is the main method and direction of research to increase recoverable reserves, accounting for more than 70% of the reserves covered by all EOR methods, and among them, viscoelastic polymer drive is the most widely used. It is generally believed that "improving the oil-water mobility ratio, thereby enlarging the sweep coefficient" is the key to enhanced oil recovery of polymer flooding, and "the 'pull and pull' of the oil silk and the 'stripping' of the oil film under the action of elastic behavior" is the key to the enhanced oil recovery of polymer flooding. Another contribution to enhanced oil re...
