However, due to the high viscosity, large density, thin oil layer thickness and large flow resistance of heavy oil, the use of conventional technology for light oil recovery for heavy oil reservoir recovery is not ideal, and how to more economically and effectively recover heavy oil has become a common problem faced by the world oil industry.

[0003] Multi-component thermal fluid recovery technology is a new technology for recovering heavy oil in recent years, which can expand the volume of heavy oil, reduce the viscosity and interfacial tension of heavy oil and produce a dissolved gas drive effect, thereby increasing the recovery efficiency of heavy oil and becoming one of the most potential oil recovery technologies. In the process of using multi-component thermal fluid recovery technology to recover heavy oil, the phase equilibrium state of multi-phase mixed gas has a great influence on the recovery efficiency of heavy oil, and the study of the phase equilibrium state of multi-phase mixed gas is of great significance for optimizing injection and production parameters and improving heavy oil recovery efficiency.

[0004] Most of the existing phase equilibrium test experimental systems are for single gas or binary mixed gas, and there is insufficient research on ternary and above mixed fluids. Chinese patent CN201510542284.1 proposes a fluid phase state analysis device and its analysis method, which includes at least one set of analysis unit, the analysis unit includes: a first container, a second container and a sample transfer device, the sample transfer device realizes the accurate transfer of the test sample through the volume change of its internal space, and measures the change of the corresponding parameters of the sample.

For the problem of high-cost phase state research of hydrocarbon analysis pure samples, the device and its analysis method solve the problem of micro-sample basic phase state parameter test, and save the oil and gas field sampling operation cost. The device obtains the physical property parameters of the oil by measuring multiple fine volume changes, which can be used to analyze the dynamic change of the gas drive front position during gas drive, and solves the problem of micro-sample phase state test.

The three equilibrium stills are structurally identical and each comprises an end cover, a PVT cylinder, a magnetic coil, three freely rolling balls, a heating jacket and a bottom groove. The gas storage tanks and the heavy oil tank are connected to the high-precision metering pumps, which control the proportions of the components introduced into the equilibrium stills, and the valves control the opening and closing of the gas path and the oil path. The oil-gas mixing process is carried out in the equilibrium stills, and the order of the components introduced into the three equilibrium stills is controlled by the opening and closing of the valves. The mixing process in the equilibrium stills is carried out by simultaneously opening the valves controlling the gas path and the oil path, so that the gas and the heavy oil are introduced into the equilibrium stills at the same time, and the frequencies of the two pumps are controlled to make the flow times of the two components in the pipelines approximately equal.

When the thick oil and gas enter the balance kettle, the energized coil 10 is energized, the free rolling ball 11 starts to move up and down irregularly, accelerates the oil and gas mixture balance, the PVT instrument 3 monitors the pressure, temperature and volume of the oil and gas mixture in the balance kettle, when the values of pressure, temperature and volume monitored by the PVT instrument do not fluctuate with time, the oil and gas mixture in the balance kettle reaches equilibrium. The energized coil 10 stops energizing, the free rolling ball 11 stops moving up and down irregularly, and falls into the groove of the bottom groove 12. The sampling tube 18 takes the sample of the balanced oil and gas mixture, and transports it to the sample collector 5 and the densimeter 7 through the valve. The sample collector 5 transports the oil and gas mixture sample to the gas chromatograph 6, and the gas chromatograph 6 tests the component distribution of the oil and gas mixture.
