[0002] At present, chemical flooding is one of the important technologies for improving the oil recovery rate. During the process of chemical flooding, the emulsion formed by the flooding system and crude oil is a key factor for improving the oil recovery rate. Since the emulsification parameters of different flooding systems are different, the degree of emulsion formed with crude oil is different, and the degree of improving the oil recovery rate is also different, it is crucial to select a flooding system with appropriate emulsification parameters for improving the oil recovery rate. Therefore, in order to select a flooding system with appropriate emulsification parameters, it is necessary to determine the emulsification parameters of the flooding system before chemical flooding.

However, since the determination of the emulsification parameters of the flooding system by testers is affected by human factors, the accuracy of the emulsification parameters of the flooding system obtained by this determination method is low.

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0047] Figure 1 is a method for determining the emulsification parameters of a flooding system provided by an embodiment of the present application. Refer to Figure 1 , the method includes:

[0048] 101. The computer device determines the pore volume of the core to be tested, and based on the pore volume, determines the oil displacement volume of the oil displacement system of the core. The oil displacement volume is positively correlated with the pore volume.

[0049] The core to be tested can be an artificial core or a natural core. The length of the core can be any value between 30 cm and 60 cm, for example, 30 cm, 45 cm, 60 cm, etc.; the diameter of the core can be any value between 1 cm and 5 cm, for example, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, etc.; in the embodiments of the present application, the values of the length and diameter of the core are not specifically limited and can be set and modified as needed.

[0050] For example, the core is a cylindrical Berea core, the diameter of the cylindrical Berea core is 2.5 cm, the length is 30 cm, the permeability is 262 mD, and the porosity is 26.7%.

[0051] It should be noted that before injecting the oil displacement system into one end of the core, the computer device needs to determine the oil displacement volume of the oil displacement system and preset the volume of the oil displacement system injected into the core as the oil displacement volume.

[0052] In a possible implementation manner, the computer device determines the oil displacement volume of the oil displacement system according to the pore volume of the core. Among them, the oil displacement volume is positively correlated with the pore volume of the core. Optionally, the oil displacement volume is the same as the pore volume of the core. Correspondingly, the steps for the computer device to determine the oil displacement volume of the oil displacement system based on the pore volume are: the computer device determines the pore volume of the core and determines that the pore volume of the core is the oil displacement volume of the oil displacement system.

[0053] In another possible implementation manner, the oil displacement volume is any value between 1 times and 5 times the pore volume of the core; for example, 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, etc.; in the embodiments of the present application, the value of the oil displacement volume is not specifically limited and can be set and modified as needed. In the embodiments of the present application, for the sake of easy expression, 1 time the pore volume of the core is expressed as 1PV, and 5 times the pore volume of the core is expressed as 5PV; correspondingly, the oil displacement volume can be any value between 1PV and 5PV.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present application, since the oil displacement volume is not less than the pore volume of the core, it is ensured that the emulsified crude oil can all flow out from the pores of the core. In this way, the emulsified crude oil in the second produced liquid flowing out from the other end of the core is the actually emulsified crude oil in the core, so the accuracy of determining the volume of the emulsified crude oil is improved.

[0055] 102. The computer device determines the water cut of the first produced fluid of the core in the saturated oil volume state, where the first produced fluid is the produced fluid flowing out from the other end of the core collected under the condition of injecting formation water into one end of the core.

[0056] In a possible implementation, the steps for the computer device to determine the water cut of the first produced fluid of the core in the saturated oil volume state are as follows: The computer device determines the volume of the first produced fluid of the core in the saturated oil volume state and the volume of formation water in the first produced fluid; it determines that the ratio of the volume of formation water in the first produced fluid to the volume of the first produced fluid is the water cut of the first produced fluid of the core.

[0057] In a possible implementation, referring to Figure 2 , the test device for the emulsification parameters of the oil displacement system includes a constant-speed pump, a first container, a second container, a third container, a test tube, a graduated cylinder, a constant-temperature box, a pressure sensor, and a computer device; among them, the test tube is used to hold the core to be tested; the first container, the second container, the third container, the test tube, and the pressure sensor are arranged in the constant-temperature box, and the constant-speed pump, the graduated cylinder, and the computer device are arranged outside the constant-temperature box. The constant-speed pump is respectively connected to one end of the first container, one end of the second container, and one end of the third container; the other ends of the first container, the second container, and the third container are respectively connected to the inlet of the test tube, and the outlet of the test tube is connected to the graduated cylinder.

[0058] In a possible implementation, the computer device obtains the total volume of the liquid in the graduated cylinder and the volume of formation water in the graduated cylinder, determines that the total volume of the liquid in the graduated cylinder is the volume of the first produced fluid, and determines that the volume of formation water in the graduated cylinder is the volume of formation water in the first produced fluid.

[0059] Optionally, the test device further includes a liquid level detection device, which can detect the boundary line between different liquids, for example, the boundary line between water and oil; it can also detect the boundary line between a liquid and a gas, for example, the boundary line between oil and air.

[0060] The computer device determines the first height of the liquid in the graduated cylinder and the second height of the formation water in the graduated cylinder through the liquid level detection device; through the first height and the type of the graduated cylinder, it determines the volume of the first produced fluid flowing out from the core from the stored corresponding relationship between the graduated cylinder type, the liquid level height, and the volume; through the second height and the type of the graduated cylinder, it determines the volume of formation water in the first produced fluid from the stored corresponding relationship between the graduated cylinder type, the liquid level height, and the volume.

[0061] In a possible implementation, the computer device is communicatively connected to a constant-speed pump, and the computer device can inject formation water into the core through the constant-speed pump. The specific steps are as follows: The computer device sends an opening signal to the constant-speed pump, the constant-speed pump receives the opening signal, the constant-speed pump starts, provides pressure to the first container, and the first container injects formation water into the core. Optionally, the first container is filled with formation water.

[0062] It should be noted that before the computer device determines the water cut of the first produced fluid of the core in the saturated oil volume state, it is necessary to determine that the core is in the saturated oil volume state. Among them, the steps for the computer device to determine that the core is in the saturated oil volume state are as follows: The computer device determines the oil production volume of the core. When the oil production volume reaches the preset volume, it is determined that the core is in the saturated oil volume state; the oil production volume is the amount of the produced crude oil measured under the condition of injecting crude oil into one end of the core in the saturated formation water state until the crude oil flows out from the other end of the core. Among them, the preset volume can be any value between 30 ml and 50 ml. For example, 30 ml, 40 ml, 50 ml, etc.; in the embodiments of the present application, the value of the preset volume is not specifically limited and can be set and modified according to needs.

[0063] Among them, the core in the saturated formation water state is the core filled with formation water under vacuum conditions. By evacuating the core to be tested, the gas in the gaps of the core can be extracted, so that the formation water can enter the gaps of the core. Among them, the steps of evacuating the core and injecting formation water into the core can be carried out synchronously, that is, when the gas in the gaps of the core is evacuated, the formation water enters the gaps of the core.

[0064] In a possible implementation, the computer device is communicatively connected to a constant-speed pump. The computer device sends an opening signal to the constant-speed pump, the constant-speed pump receives the opening signal, and the constant-speed pump starts to provide pressure to the second container, and the second container injects crude oil into one end of the core. Optionally, the second container is filled with crude oil.

[0065] 103. If the water cut reaches the preset water cut, the computer device determines the first volume of the crude oil in the second produced fluid of the core and determines the second volume of the emulsified crude oil in the second produced fluid. The second produced fluid is the produced fluid collected from the other end of the core under the condition of injecting a displacement volume of the displacement system into one end of the core.

[0066] In a possible implementation, the displacement system is a displacing agent. Among them, the displacing agent is an emulsifier or a polymer or a mixture of an emulsifier and a polymer.

[0067] In a possible implementation, the displacing agent is a polymer, and the molecular weight of the polymer is any value between 19 million and 25 million, for example, 19 million, 22 million, 25 million, etc.; the concentration of the polymer is any value between 1500 mg / L and 2000 mg / L, for example, 1500 mg / L, 1800 mg / L, 2000 mg / L, etc.; in the embodiments of the present application, the values of the molecular weight and concentration of the polymer are not specifically limited and can be modified and set as needed. Optionally, the polymer can be polyacrylamide, the molecular weight of the polyacrylamide is 25 million, and the concentration of the polyacrylamide is 1500 mg / L.

[0068] In another possible implementation, the displacing agent is an emulsifier, and the concentration of the emulsifier is any value between 0.1% and 1.0%, for example, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0%, etc.; in the embodiments of the present application, the value of the concentration of the emulsifier is not specifically limited and can be modified and set as needed. Optionally, the emulsifier can be petroleum sulfonate, and the concentration of the petroleum sulfonate is 0.5%.

[0069] In a possible implementation, continue to refer to Figure 2 , the computer device is communicatively connected to the constant-speed pump, and the computer device can inject the oil displacement system into the core through the constant-speed pump. Correspondingly, the steps for the computer device to inject the oil displacement system with an oil displacement volume into the core are as follows: the computer device sends an opening signal to the constant-speed pump, the constant-speed pump receives the opening signal, the constant-speed pump is opened, provides pressure to the third container, and the third container injects the oil displacement system into the core. Optionally, the third container is filled with the oil displacement system.

[0070] In a possible implementation, the computer device determines the emulsified crude oil in the second produced fluid by centrifugation, and obtains the third produced fluid by stirring the second produced fluid with a demulsifier added through a centrifuge. Correspondingly, the steps for the computer device to determine the second volume of the emulsified crude oil in the second produced fluid are as follows: the computer device determines the third volume of the crude oil in the third produced fluid; determines the difference between the third volume and the first volume as the second volume of the emulsified crude oil in the second produced fluid.

[0071] 104. The computer device determines the emulsification parameter of the oil displacement system in the core based on the first volume, the second volume, and the oil displacement volume, and the emulsification parameter is used to represent the emulsification ability of the oil displacement system.

[0072] In a possible implementation, the computer device determines the emulsification parameter of the oil displacement system in the core based on the first volume, the second volume, and the oil displacement volume through the following formula (1);

[0073] Formula (1): F e =(V eo / Vo ) / V c × 100%

[0074] Wherein, F e represents the emulsification parameter of the oil displacement system in the core, V o represents the first volume of crude oil in the second produced fluid of the core, V eo represents the second volume of the emulsified crude oil in the second produced fluid, V c represents the oil displacement volume.

[0075] It should be noted that the emulsification parameters corresponding to different oil displacement systems are different. Here, three different oil displacement systems in Oilfield A are taken as examples for illustration.

[0076] In a possible implementation, the core is a cylindrical Berea core with a diameter of 2.5 cm, a length of 30 cm, a permeability of 262 mD, and a porosity of 26.7%. The oil displacement system is a mixture of an emulsifier and a polymer; wherein, the polymer is polyacrylamide with a molecular weight of 25 million and a concentration of 1500 mg / L; the emulsifier is petroleum sulfonate with a concentration of 0.5%. The crude oil is taken from Oilfield A, and the reservoir temperature of Oilfield A is 53°C, and the viscosity of the crude oil in Oilfield A at 53°C is 51 mPa·s.

[0077] Step 1: The computer device determines the pore volume of the cylindrical Berea core, that is, 1 PV.

[0078] Step 2: The computer device determines the water cut of the first produced fluid of the core; if the water cut reaches 95%, it determines the first volume of crude oil in the second produced fluid of the core and determines the second volume of the emulsified crude oil in the second produced fluid. The second produced fluid is the produced fluid flowing out of the core collected under the condition of injecting 1 PV of the oil displacement system into the core.

[0079] Step 3: The computer device determines the emulsification parameter of the oil displacement system in the core based on the first volume, the second volume, and the oil displacement volume.

[0080] In a possible implementation, the three different oil displacement systems include #1 petroleum sulfonate, #2 petroleum sulfonate, and #3 petroleum sulfonate, and the concentrations of petroleum sulfonate in the three petroleum sulfonates are different. The emulsification parameters of the three petroleum sulfonates and polyacrylamide are 17.7%, 23.1%, and 26.9% respectively.

[0081] Among them, the recovery rate of the No. 1 petroleum sulfonate is 57.5%, which is 29.1% higher than that in the water flooding stage; the lowest water cut of the No. 1 petroleum sulfonate is 45.8%, which is 40.9% lower than that in the water flooding stage. The recovery rate of the No. 2 petroleum sulfonate is 62.8%, which is 31.6% higher than that in the water flooding stage; the lowest water cut of the No. 2 petroleum sulfonate is 40.5%, which is 48.1% lower than that in the water flooding stage. The recovery rate of the No. 3 petroleum sulfonate is 55.8%, which is 25.8% higher than that in the water flooding stage; the lowest water cut of the No. 3 petroleum sulfonate is 37.0%, which is 51.4% lower than that in the water flooding stage.

[0082] Another point to be noted is that the oil displacement system plugs the cores with high permeability through adsorption and bridging effects, causing the oil to flow to the cores with low permeability, improving the overall oil recovery rate of the oilfield, and playing a role in reducing water production and increasing oil production. The following takes increasing the overall recovery rate of cores with different permeabilities in Oilfield B by the oil displacement system as an example for illustration.

[0083] In a possible implementation, the oil displacement system is a mixture of an emulsifier and a polymer; among them, the polymer is polyacrylamide, the molecular weight of the polyacrylamide is 19 million, the concentration of the polyacrylamide is 1500 mg / L; the emulsifier is petroleum sulfonate, and the concentration of the petroleum sulfonate is 0.5%. The crude oil is taken from Oilfield B, the reservoir temperature of Oilfield B is 43 °C, and the viscosity of the crude oil in Oilfield B at 43 °C is 18 mPa·s.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, cores with different permeabilities in the reservoir formation are simulated by the method of parallel connection of two cores. The physical parameters of Core A and Core B are shown in Table 1.

[0085] Table 1

[0086] Core number Permeability ratio Permeability Size / cm Porosity / % Core A 6 218 4.5×4.5×30 23.54 Core B 6 1314 4.5×4.5×30 28.35

[0087] Step 1: The computer device determines the pore volume of Core A and Core B, that is, 1 PV.

[0088] Step 2: The computer device determines the water cut of the first produced fluid of Core A and Core B; when the water cut reaches 95%, it determines the first volume of crude oil in the second produced fluid flowing out of Core A and Core B, and determines the second volume of emulsified crude oil in the second produced fluid. The second produced fluid is the produced fluid flowing out of Core A and Core B collected under the condition of injecting 1.5 PV of the oil displacement system into Core A and Core B.

[0089] Step 3: The computer device determines the emulsification parameters of the oil displacement system in Core A and Core B based on the first volume, the second volume, and the oil displacement volume.

[0090] It should be noted that during the process of injecting 1.5 PV of the oil displacement system into Core A and Core B respectively, the emulsification parameters of the oil displacement system in Core A and Core B change dynamically. The oil displacement process of the core includes three stages, namely: the water flooding stage, the oil displacement system flooding stage, and the subsequent water flooding stage. Correspondingly, the comprehensive oil recovery rates of Core A and Core B and the water cut of the produced fluids corresponding to Core A and Core B also change dynamically. For example, refer to Figure 3 the curve graphs showing the changes of the comprehensive oil recovery rates of Core A and Core B and the water cut of the produced fluids corresponding to Core A and Core B with the increase of the oil displacement volume.

[0091] Among them, compared with the water flooding stage, the comprehensive oil recovery rate of Core A in the oil displacement system flooding stage increased by 22.1%; the minimum value of the water cut curve of the produced fluid of Core A was 32.1%.
