Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of oil-water multiphase flow monitoring and identification systems, specifically an oil-water multiphase flow monitoring and identification system based on microfluidics and fluorescence microscopy. Background Technology
[0002] In chemical flooding for enhanced oil recovery, polymers and other chemicals are prone to flocculation reactions with formation particles, leading to pore throat blockage and uneven fluid distribution, significantly affecting the displacement effect. Traditional core displacement experiments are costly, time-consuming, and cannot observe microscopic flow processes in real time. Microfluidic technology combined with fluorescence microscopy provides an effective means to study multiphase flow mechanisms at the pore scale, but currently there is still a lack of dedicated devices and methods that can systematically integrate real-time observation, dynamic identification, and intelligent analysis.
[0003] Traditional core displacement experiments have the following significant shortcomings:
[0004] (1) Lack of real-time visualization capability: Traditional displacement experiments cannot achieve in-situ, dynamic and visual observation of the displacement process. They can only rely on core slices or CT scans after the displacement is completed for static analysis, making it difficult to capture the real-time changes of key processes such as polymer flocculation, particle migration and dynamic distribution of oil and water.
[0005] (2) High experimental costs and long cycle: The cost of each real core displacement experiment is usually as high as thousands of yuan, and the core is a consumable and cannot be reused; the experimental cycle is long, often requiring several days or even weeks from preparation to completion. In contrast, microfluidic chips are low in cost, reusable, and the time of a single experiment is greatly shortened, significantly improving research efficiency.
[0006] (3) The inference of micro-mechanisms is indirect and the accuracy is limited: Traditional methods rely on indirect data after displacement (such as pressure curves, recovery rate, and slice images) to infer micro-mechanisms. They cannot directly observe key processes such as multiphase fluid interaction, floc formation and migration in pores, and the conclusions contain many assumptions and uncertainties.
[0007] (4) Difficulty in simulating real pore structure and complex fluid behavior: Although traditional core experiments can reflect macroscopic displacement effects, they cannot accurately control pore structure characteristics (such as throat distribution and connectivity), and it is also difficult to simulate fluid behavior at the micro-nano scale (such as interface effects and capillary action). Microfluidic models are based on etching of real core CT data, which is closer to the real pore throat structure, and supports fine simulation of multiphase fluids, chemical agents and particle interactions.
[0008] (5) Insufficient precision in experimental parameter control: Traditional displacement experiments have low precision in terms of injection rate, pressure response, and temperature control, and are easily affected by fluctuations in experimental equipment. Microfluidic systems, combined with high-precision syringe pumps, temperature control modules, and real-time image acquisition, can achieve high-precision control and dynamic adjustment of injection parameters, resulting in higher data reliability.
[0009] (6) Inability to achieve multi-dimensional data fusion analysis: Traditional methods have difficulty in simultaneously acquiring multi-dimensional data on fluid motion, chemical reactions and geological structures. This technology integrates fluorescent labeling, multispectral imaging and image processing algorithms, which can simultaneously identify and quantify oil, water, polymers and particles, supporting more comprehensive mechanism research.
[0010] (7) Limited application scenarios: Traditional core experiments have limited ability to simulate low-permeability, ultra-low-permeability, and fractured reservoirs, while microfluidic models can flexibly adjust pore structure, surface wettability, and fluid composition, making them more suitable for simulation studies of complex reservoir conditions, especially for the study of micro-mechanisms such as chemical flooding and flocculation reactions.
[0011] (8) Lack of real-time feedback and intelligent control capabilities: Traditional methods are usually open-loop experiments, which cannot dynamically adjust the injection strategy based on real-time observation results. This technology can be combined with image processing algorithms and automatic control systems to achieve real-time feedback and intelligent optimization of the displacement process, providing more accurate decision support for oilfield development. Summary of the Invention

[0024] Furthermore, the binary composite displacement solution is prepared by dissolving two solutions in deionized water: a 1000 mg / L HPAM polymer solution with a molecular weight of 25 million and a 0.2% petroleum sulfonate solution. The solutions are then thoroughly dissolved and mixed using a stirrer, with the temperature controlled at 20-30°C and the pH value kept neutral.
