Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil displacement agent technology, and particularly relates to hydrocarbon-based naphthalene polyether sulfonate heavy oil displacement agent, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] The method of enhancing oil recovery by using surfactants as displacement agents is called "surfactant flooding." Surfactant flooding is a widely used, effective, and suitable method for enhancing oil recovery in tertiary oil recovery. There are many types of surfactants, mainly including anionic, cationic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants. Surfactants improve oil displacement efficiency by altering the interfacial tension and emulsification between the oil displacement system and the crude oil, as well as by solubilizing the crude oil. Surfactants play a crucial role in chemical flooding for enhanced oil recovery, and the development of efficient, inexpensive, temperature- and salt-resistant surfactants is of great significance for promoting the development of chemical flooding technology.

[0003] Commonly used surfactants both domestically and internationally include anionic surfactants such as petroleum sulfonates, alkylbenzene sulfonates, and olefin sulfonates. These surfactants are effective in conventional oil reservoirs with temperatures below 80℃ and salinity below 30,000 mg / L. Currently, many surfactants have been successfully applied in ordinary oil reservoirs (Class I and II reservoirs). However, over 60% of the remaining oil reserves are in demanding reservoirs that are difficult to extract, characterized by high temperature, high salinity, high water content, high clay content, low permeability, and heavy oil. The aforementioned surfactants are ineffective or even useless due to their low activity and poor salt tolerance. Summary of the Invention

After the water drive was completed, 0.3 pv (core pore volume) of the aforementioned oil displacement agent was injected, and then water was driven to a water cut of 98% to calculate the enhanced oil recovery rate.

[0113] The oil displacement agents prepared in Examples 3 and 5 were evaluated using the above method, and the results showed that they increased the crude oil recovery rate by 7.8% and 9.7%, respectively.
