[0114] (1) Evaluation of viscosity reducing agent on heavy oil viscosity reducing performance

[0115] Four viscosity reducers (viscosity reducer A, viscosity reducer B, viscosity reducer C and viscosity reducer D) were selected to evaluate their viscosity reduction effects on heavy oil at 50°C, 80°C, 100°C, 120°C and 150°C. The viscosity reduction rates (x) of the four viscosity reducers on heavy oil at different temperatures were calculated according to formula (2). The experimental results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the results show that adding four viscosity reducers to heavy oil can reduce the viscosity of heavy oil, and the viscosity reduction rate at lower temperature is greater than that at higher temperature, indicating that the viscosity reduction effect is mainly reflected in the low temperature zone. Except for viscosity reducer D, the viscosity reduction rates of the other three viscosity reducers from low temperature to high temperature are all greater than 75%.

Therefore, viscosity reducers A, B and C are preferred to continue the oil displacement experiment.

[0116] (2) Evaluation of oil recovery performance of CO2 and viscosity reducer system

[0117] The physical simulation displacement experimental device was used to evaluate the oil displacement effects of simple CO2 flooding and CO2+viscosity reducer A composite flooding, CO2+viscosity reducer B composite flooding, and CO2+viscosity reducer C composite flooding. The experimental parameters and experimental results are shown in Tables 1 and Figure 5 As shown. The final oil recovery efficiency of pure CO2 flooding is 47.99%, and the final oil recovery efficiency of CO2+viscosity reducer C composite flooding is 70.3%, which is 22.4% higher than that of pure CO2 flooding; the final oil recovery efficiency of CO2+viscosity reducer A composite flooding is 68.4%, slightly lower than that of CO2+viscosity reducer C composite flooding; and the final oil recovery efficiency of CO2+viscosity reducer B composite flooding is 64.9%.

The ability of using CO2+viscosity reducer C composite flooding is the strongest, and the residual oil saturation can be reduced to below 30%.
