[0002] Bohai loose sandstone heavy oil reservoirs are shallowly buried, poorly compacted, and have loose reservoir cementation. During the development of such oilfields, sand removal of oil wells is serious, and water flooding is prone to cause sand migration in the formation pore throat, resulting in formation plugging and affecting the formation permeability. Therefore, in view of the serious sand production problem of Bohai loose sandstone heavy oil reservoirs, it is urgent to study the chemical sand control and consolidation technology for such oilfields. The chemical sand control and consolidation technology mainly injects a chemical sand consolidation system into the reservoir or pore throat where sand particles migrate, and consolidates the sand particles in a free state under the conditions of formation temperature and pressure, thereby preventing sand production. After the chemical sand control and consolidation technology is constructed, there is no residue in the wellbore, it has wide adaptability, and the process is simple, which has important universality and application value in the development of oilfields.

[0003] At present, there are few devices and experimental methods for laboratory experimental research on chemical sand control and consolidation. Generally, a glass tube sand filling method or a sand mixing method is used to make a consolidation body. However, this method cannot simulate the consolidation process of the chemical sand control and consolidation system under the conditions of formation temperature, cannot simulate the consolidation process of the chemical sand control and consolidation system under the conditions of formation pressure, cannot simulate the formation overburden pressure, and has low similarity between the model consolidation process and the actual formation deposition process. The glass tube sand filling method or the sand mixing method has many influencing factors in the consolidation process, resulting in poor repeatability of the consolidation experiment simulation. The sand filling, pressurizing, wetting, cementing, and solidification in the consolidation process of the glass tube sand filling method or the sand mixing method are interrupted and discontinuous, and cannot simulate the actual situation on site.

[0004] In view of the current technical situation, a device for making a chemical sand consolidation system consolidation body and a use method are invented, which solve the above problems. The device can simulate the consolidation process of the chemical sand control and consolidation system under the conditions of formation pressure, simulate the consolidation process of the chemical sand control and consolidation system under the conditions of formation temperature, simulate the formation overburden pressure, has high similarity between the model consolidation process and the actual formation deposition process, can be repeatedly used for many times, has high repeatability of the chemical sand control and consolidation system consolidation experiment simulation, and has continuous sand filling, pressurizing, wetting, cementing, and solidification in the consolidation process of the device for making a chemical sand consolidation system consolidation body, without interruption, and can simulate the actual situation on site.

[0005] In view of the current technical situation, a device for making chemical sand consolidation system consolidation body and a use method are invented, which can simulate the chemical sand consolidation system consolidation process under the formation temperature and pressure conditions, the simulation experiment has high repeatability, is similar to the actual formation core deposition process, the consolidation process is continuous and uninterrupted, the actual situation can be simulated, and the development of Bohai loose sandstone heavy oil reservoir has important guiding significance.
