Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. There are different degrees of cementation in actual reservoirs, and the particle size is not evenly distributed, so the narrow tube model cannot simulate the real oil layer conditions. In fact, the pore throat size of the thin tube model is usually the same as that of the real reservoir. There is an order of magnitude gap, which leads to the fact that the minimum miscible pressure determined by the thin tube model cannot truly reflect the CO2 under reservoir conditions. 2 Miscibility with crude oil;
[0005] 2. (Extra) low permeability reservoirs have poor permeability, and the reservoir permeability is usually less than 100×10 -3 μm 2 , and the quartz sand or glass beads required to fill the thin tube model are usually large in particle size, and the permeability of the filled thin tube model is usually above thousands of millidarcy, which cannot simulate low-permeability reservoirs at all;
[0006] 3. Serious viscous fingering and reservoir heterogeneity often exist in actual reservoirs, especially (extra) low-permeability reservoirs. However, in the thin tube model, uniform quartz sand or glass beads are filled, which excludes Due to the influence of factors such as mobility ratio, viscous fingering, gravity separation, and reservoir heterogeneity, the minimum miscible pressure determined by the thin tube model cannot truly reflect the miscible pressure under reservoir conditions;
[0007] 4. From the perspective of experimental operation, multiple sets of repeated displacement experiments are required to determine the minimum miscible pressure. In the process of narrow tube experiment operation, the thin tube model is often reused, so at the beginning of each displacement experiment Sometimes it needs to be cleaned with reagents such as toluene and petroleum ether. Not only is the operation cumbersome, but if the above reagents are not completely removed, their residues will affect subsequent experiments, resulting in the inability to accurately measure the minimum miscible pressure.
