Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method and an application of an alkali-free viscoelastic surfactant for a low-permeability reservoir and mainly solves the problem of poor flooding effect of anexisting flooding system under the condition of the high-temperature and low-permeability reservoir. According to the technical schemes, alkali-free viscoelastic surfactant composition suitable for alow permeability oilfield is prepared from a betaine surfactant, an anionic surfactant and water, wherein the betaine surfactant is represented as the formula (I) in the description; the anionic surfactant is selected from at least one of structures shown as the formula (II) in the description; in the formula (I), R1 is selected from any one of C8-C29 alkyl and alkenyl, and R2 and R3 are independently selected from C1-C5 alkylidene and hydroxyl substituted alkylidene; in the structural formula (II), R6 is selected from C1-C4 alkyl, and X is selected from any one of carboxylate radical and sulfonate radical. With the adoption of any one of the technical schemes, the technical problem is solved better, and the alkali-free viscoelastic surfactant can be applied to tertiary oil recovery of theoilfield.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method and application of an alkali-free viscoelastic surfactant in low-permeability oil reservoirs. Background technique [0002] Among Sinopec's newly proven petroleum geological reserves, low-permeability reservoirs account for as high as 60% to 70%. Low-permeability reservoirs will be the main resource base for increasing reserves and production for a long period of time in the future. In recent years, with the reduction of recoverable reserves of medium and high permeability reservoirs, people pay more and more attention to the development of low permeability reservoirs. Surfactant flooding has been proved to be a very promising method to enhance the recovery of low permeability oilfields, and has become a research hotspot at home and abroad. Compared with medium and high permeability reservoirs, residual oil droplets in low permeability reservoirs exist in pores with small throat radius. Under the same cond...
