Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oilfield exploration and development, and in particular to a heterogeneous viscosity-reducing composite balanced displacement system and an injection method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Ordinary heavy oil is an important successor to unconventional resources, and the efficient development of heavy oil is of great significance to ensuring national energy security.

[0003] CN111091476B discloses a numerical simulation method for oil reservoirs with strong heterogeneity, which includes the following steps: step 1, determining the area with strong discontinuities and dividing the network; step 2, calculating the gradient intensity factor and obtaining a local analytical solution; step 3, applying the local analytical solution to calculate the equivalent permeability between grids; step 4, constructing a calculation formula for the cross-interface phase flow; step 5, solving the algebraic equation group of the variables to be determined; step 6, verifying the algorithm efficiency and grid independence. The numerical simulation method helps to gain a deep understanding of the oil displacement mechanism in the strong heterogeneity oil reservoir formation, improve the efficiency and accuracy of the numerical simulation of the oil reservoir, and guide the adjustment and optimization of the oil reservoir development method.

[0004] CN111022013B discloses a steam huff-and-puff oil production method for heterogeneous heavy oil reservoirs, the method comprising: injecting nitrogen foam plugs into the oil layer; injecting viscosity reduction plugs into the oil layer; injecting nitrogen plugs into the oil layer; injecting steam into the oil layer, and then shutting the well and recovering the oil. First, inject nitrogen foam, the Jamin effect of nitrogen foam can achieve effective plugging of high permeability and high recovery layers, and promote subsequent plugs to enter low permeability and low recovery layers with high oil saturation, so as to achieve the purpose of expanding steam sweep; the viscosity reduction plug can effectively reduce the viscosity of crude oil; the nitrogen plug is not only conducive to pushing the viscosity reduction plug into the oil layer, playing a role in expanding the radius of action of the viscosity reduction plug, but also has the effect of increasing the flowback of crude oil formations during the production process, and the synergistic effect of each plug achieves the purpose of increasing the single well cycle production and recovery rate of heterogeneous heavy oil reservoirs.

[0005] CN113153209A discloses a multi-media composite huff-and-puff development method for heavy oil reservoirs, which includes: injecting a high-temperature plugging agent into the formation; injecting a viscosity reducer, a foaming agent and a non-condensable gas, or injecting a viscosity reducer, a foaming agent and urea after the high-temperature plugging agent is condensed; and finally injecting steam into the formation. The invention realizes the purpose of increasing the utilization degree of the oil layer section, reducing the viscosity of crude oil, and replenishing the formation energy by sequentially injecting multi-media such as a high-temperature plugging agent, a viscosity reducer, a foaming agent and a non-condensable gas (or urea) into the bottom layer before injecting steam, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the periodic oil production, the oil-gas ratio, the oil reservoir recovery rate, and increasing the economic benefits.

[0006] For the conventional water flooding of ordinary heavy oil, there is a high water-oil mobility ratio, low water flooding sweep coefficient and recovery rate. In order to improve the water flooding sweep coefficient and recovery rate of ordinary heavy oil, polymers and viscosity reducers are added to increase the viscosity of the water phase and reduce the viscosity of the oil phase. However, for strongly heterogeneous reservoirs, the traditional single chemical flooding system is prone to cross-flow in the slug, and the purpose of balanced displacement cannot be achieved.
