Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial enhanced oil recovery technology, specifically a method for microbial enhanced oil recovery using green plants as raw materials. Background Technology

[0002] Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) technology typically utilizes the growth and metabolism of microorganisms in oil reservoirs to produce a large number of metabolites, such as biopolysaccharides, biosurfactants, small-molecule organic matter, and biogas. These metabolites act on residual oil, improving its fluidity and altering the wettability of the reservoir's porous media, thus facilitating crude oil flow. Biogas, mainly composed of methane and carbon dioxide, increases reservoir pressure and dissolves in crude oil, reducing its viscosity and thereby increasing production and recovery rate. MEOR requires the injection of substantial nutrients, including carbon and nitrogen sources, to support microbial growth and metabolism; this constitutes a major cost component. Currently, commonly used activators include glucose, sucrose, peptone, and yeast extract, which are expensive, leading to high activator costs. Summary of the Invention

The PCR reaction conditions were: 95℃ for 3 min; 98℃ for 15 s, 51℃ for 15 s, 72℃ for 20 s, for 25 cycles; 72℃ for 1 min. PCR reaction system (20 μL): 5×FastPfu buffer 4 μL, dNTPs (2.5 mmol / L) 2 μL, forward and reverse primers (5 μmol / L) 0.8 μL each, TransStart FastPfu DNA polymerase 0.4 μL, DNA template 10 ng, and ultrapure water to bring the volume to 20 μL. After sequencing, corresponding bioinformatics analysis was performed. First, sequence quality screening was performed to remove low-quality sequences. The remaining high-quality sequences were spliced ​​using FLASH (Fast length adjustment of short reads, V1.2.11) based on their overlap relationship. Then, the spliced ​​sequences were clustered into operational taxonomic units (OTUs) using USEARCH (V7.0.1090) software. The OTU representative sequences were compared with the database using RDP classifier (V2.2) software for species annotation. It was found that the endogenous microbial species in experimental block C were incomplete, lacking anaerobic fermentation bacteria and hydrogen-producing and acid-producing bacteria.

[0104] (3) Analysis of methanogenic bacteria in the target reservoir

[0105] Methanogen analysis was performed using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) with the methyl-CoA reductase gene (mcrA) as the marker. The SYBR Green Supermix kit was used as the reaction reagent.

The standard plasmid and test sample reacted simultaneously. The qPCR reaction and data analysis were performed on an iQ5 qPCR instrument. The results showed the presence of thermophilic methanogens in the reservoir.

[0106] (4) Preparation of green plant injection

[0107] During the preparation of the injection agent, the ion composition of the water in the block was first analyzed, and the test results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0108] Table 2 Analysis of Ionic Composition of Water Quality in Block C

[0109]

[0110] Ion composition analysis revealed that the injected water contained potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium ions, with low concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions. Therefore, calcium chloride (0.6 g / L) and magnesium sulfate (0.8 g / L) were added to the injected water. Chlamydomonas was harvested using automated scraping technology, pulverized into a paste, and injected into the formation along with the prepared injection water containing inorganic salts, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter, and Bacillus thermophilus.

[0111] (5) On-site injection of green plant injection.

[0112] The plant-based fracturing injection method was employed, with the following specific steps: A plant-based injection agent was injected into the ground under high pressure using fracturing equipment, with each well receiving 800m³ of the agent per day. 3 The injection time is 10 hours per day, then the injection is stopped to allow the underground pressure to be released before the next cycle of injection begins. The injection is carried out continuously for 1 month, after which the well needs to be shut in to enter the biogas production stage. The underground biogas production can be predicted by monitoring the wellhead pressure. The cycle is 2 days, and the well shut-in time is 20 days.

[0113] Field test results: 4.0 × 10⁻⁶ methane gas produced. 6 m 3 The water content decreased from 97.8% to 91.6%, resulting in a cumulative increase of 1,254 tons of oil production. The field test results were good.

[0114] principle:

[0115] This invention utilizes green plants, including algae, ferns, and bryophytes, to first convert carbon dioxide and water in the air into sugars. These sugars can serve as nutrient activators for endogenous microorganisms in microbial oil recovery. Under anaerobic conditions in the oil reservoir, organic matter ferments to produce biogas. This process is similar to biogas fermentation, where organic matter, including plant matter and straw, undergoes microbial fermentation under anaerobic conditions to produce a mixed gas. In a closed biogas digester, under anaerobic (oxygen-free) conditions, the organic matter is decomposed and transformed by a wide variety of biogas-fermenting microorganisms, thus producing biogas. The main component of biogas is methane, consisting of 50%-80% methane (CH4), 20%-40% carbon dioxide (CO2), and small amounts of N2 and H2.

[0116] Experiments show that one ton of organic matter can produce 25 tons of biogas, and these gases generated in oil reservoirs can all enhance oil recovery. Furthermore, many biogas reservoirs in my country are also examples of early biomass deposition underground, where natural gas was produced by microorganisms under anaerobic conditions. Carbon isotope dating has confirmed that the abundant natural gas is of biogenic origin. This is the basic principle upon which this invention is based. However, this invention artificially injects organic matter (mainly plant matter) into the underground environment and provides suitable conditions for microbial growth and metabolism, accelerating the rate of microbial hydrolysis, degradation, and gas production. The large amount of gas produced in the reservoir increases reservoir pressure, providing energy for reservoir development. On the other hand, a large amount of methane gas can permeate into the upper part of the reservoir and dissolve in the residual oil, reducing its viscosity and increasing its fluidity, especially in medium-rhythmic oil layers. Simultaneously, the hydrolysis and degradation of plant matter also produces a large amount of organic acids and alcohols. These substances, to a certain extent, reduce the oil-water interfacial tension and change the wettability of the reservoir rocks, which is beneficial to the flow of crude oil. The combined effects of these factors can significantly improve the development effect and recovery rate of the oil reservoir.

[0117] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. 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.
