AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies are insufficient to effectively improve the recovery rate of low-permeability reservoirs with permeability below 10 mD. Polymer flooding and chemical flooding are risky and unsuitable, and their low water injection volume, high capillary resistance, and inability to effectively activate the remaining oil in small pore throats are also problematic.
The microbial composite pressure drive method is adopted, including the screening of test blocks, screening and performance evaluation of microbial systems, optimization of pressure drive injection process and field application. It uses bioactive surfactants and biological enzymes to reduce crude oil viscosity, reduce water well pressure and increase injection, and reduce oil-water interfacial tension, optimize injection volume and speed, form microfractures, and expand the affected area.
It improves the recovery rate of low-permeability oil reservoirs, reduces crude oil viscosity, and reduces water cut in water wells by more than 20%. The well group increases oil production by more than 1,000 tons, with an input-output ratio greater than 1:15. It avoids environmental pollution, and the construction process is simple and easy to operate.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of oil reservoir development, and specifically relates to a method for improving the recovery ratio of low-permeability oil reservoirs by using microbial composite pressure flooding. BACKGROUND
[0002] Low-permeability oil reservoirs are widely distributed and have a huge total oil content, accounting for more than half of the total oil reserves in China. Meanwhile, the capacity construction scale of low-permeability oilfields accounts for more than 70% of the total capacity construction scale of oilfields. Therefore, the development of low-permeability oilfields is of great significance in today's increasing demand for oil. However, due to the poor reservoir physical properties, low permeability, serious heterogeneity, high content of clay minerals, strong reservoir sensitivity, complex pore structure and serious Jamin effect of low-permeability oil reservoirs, the injection water startup pressure is high, the capillary resistance is large, the injection water volume is low, and the residual oil in small pores cannot be effectively started.
[0003] At present, the two commonly used methods for oil reservoir development are polymer flooding and chemical flooding. However, due to the small pore throat of low-permeability oil reservoirs, the high viscoelasticity of polymers can quickly increase the injection pressure, so it is risky to apply polymer to improve the recovery ratio by realizing mobility control and expanding sweep in low-permeability oil reservoirs. Chemical flooding can solve the problem of low-permeability oil reservoir development to some extent, but it cannot expand the sweep range and is prone to aggravate water channeling. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an economic and efficient technical means to improve the development effect of low-permeability oil reservoirs.
[0004] The authorized patent No. CN202011623961.X, entitled "A method for improving the recovery ratio of low-permeability oil reservoirs by using microorganisms", comprises the following steps: test area screening, composite microbial oil displacement bacteria liquid screening and performance evaluation, injection parameter optimization, injection of the first composite microbial oil displacement bacteria liquid, injection of the nutrient liquid mixture slug into the target oil layer, polymer profile control, microbial huff and puff, injection of the second composite microbial oil displacement bacteria liquid, injection of the nutrient liquid mixture slug, injection of the third microbial bacteria liquid, injection of the nutrient liquid mixture slug, and field test effect evaluation. The method greatly improves the development effect of microorganisms by combining microbial oil displacement with polymer profile control and microbial huff and puff; and finally achieves the purpose of improving the recovery ratio of oil reservoirs and deepening the understanding of the mechanism and applicable conditions of microbial oil displacement. Disadvantages: The patent does not consider the injection of polymers, and is not suitable for low-permeability oil reservoirs with a permeability of less than 10 mD. SUMMARY

[0165] (4) Field application
[0166] To implement pressure drive, first replace the wellheads of oil and water wells, replace the water injection wellheads with 600-type wellheads, and replace the oil wellheads with 350-type wellheads before shutting them in. Inject according to the optimized injection process described above. Monitor the pressure in real time during the pressure drive process; the pressure data is shown in the table below.

[0169] After the injection was completed, the production wellhead was replaced and normal production began. The water cut of the oil well decreased by 24%, the well group increased oil production by more than 1,800 tons, and the input-output ratio was greater than 1:19.
[0170] Working principle: such as Figure 1 As shown, this invention addresses the challenges of exploiting low-permeability oil reservoirs. First, it screens a microbial enhanced oil recovery (DEOR) system that can reduce crude oil viscosity, decrease water well pressure to enhance injection, and reduce oil-water interfacial tension. Then, it optimizes the injection volume and rate of pressure-driven water injection. This pressure-driven water injection not only rapidly replenishes formation energy in low-permeability reservoirs but also creates numerous microfractures within the formation. Microorganisms, under the excess pressure of pressure-driven water injection, enter these microfractures and, through dialysis, displace residual oil from small pores into larger pores. During subsequent waterflooding, the crude oil is extracted, thereby enhancing oil recovery. This method is characterized by its targeted approach, high operability, low investment cost, and significant oil enhancement effect.

For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
