Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of foam flooding, in particular to a foaming agent and a foam gas flooding method. Background technique
[0002] Foam profile control and oil displacement are a process of injecting gas (or steam) into the formation and mixing with a foaming agent to form foam to enhance recovery. Foam has high apparent viscosity and air resistance effect, which can inhibit gas channeling during gas injection and improve the oil-water mobility ratio. At the same time, the foam fluid is selective and can preferentially seal high-permeability layers and high-water-bearing layers. Foam has a high resistance effect, and it can be carried out together with gas flooding or alone to expand the swept volume, which is an important method to enhance oil recovery.
[0003] Foam flooding is the technology with the highest resistance coefficient among the currently tested EOR methods. The recovery factor can be enhanced by improving the sweep ef...
