Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of heavy oil thermal recovery, and discloses a system and a method for improving the recovery rate of heavy oil reservoirs with hot nitrogen bubbles in the later stage of multi-round steam huff and puff. The method comprises the following steps: (1) pretreatment slug: inject pressurized and heated nitrogen into the formation; (2) foam solution slug: inject foaming agent aqueous solution into the formation; (3) steam hot nitrogen slug: inject Hot nitrogen and steam are mixed and injected into the formation, wherein the volume ratio of hot nitrogen and steam is (20-50): 1; (4) Steep well: after the injection in step (3), stew the well for 2-4 days; (5) open Well production: After step (4) is completed, the well is opened for production. The method of the invention can increase the formation energy, reduce the viscosity of crude oil, reduce the water saturation of the oil layer, reduce the drainage period, and increase the oil recovery of multiple rounds of steam huff and puff.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of heavy oil thermal recovery, in particular to a system and method for improving the recovery factor of heavy oil reservoirs with hot nitrogen bubbles in the later stage of multi-round steam huff and puff. Background technique [0002] With the increasing development of the global economy, the world's demand for oil is growing rapidly. At present, the geological reserves of heavy oil in the world are about 6.3×10 12 bbl, which occupies a relatively large proportion of the world's oil and gas resources. Heavy oil, that is, high-viscosity heavy crude oil, is usually called asphalt or heavy oil. Its outstanding features are high content of colloid and asphaltene and less wax content, so the viscosity of heavy oil is very high. Under reservoir conditions, heavy oil seepage resistance is high, flow is difficult, and development is difficult. In my country, heavy oil resources are widely distributed, and onsho...
