Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oil and gas field development and carbon sequestration, and particularly relates to an evaluation method for the efficiency of chemical additives based on on-line nuclear magnetic resonance scanning technology. Background Art

[0002] The CO2 flooding technology is an important means to improve the recovery rate of low-permeability reservoirs. Its mechanisms include enhancing light hydrocarbon extraction, reducing crude oil viscosity / density / interfacial tension, and at the same time realizing CO2 geological sequestration. However, traditional CO2 flooding has problems such as serious gas channeling, small swept volume, and low sequestration rate. In the prior art, chemical additives (such as demixing agents and cosolvents) are used to improve the CO2 flooding effect, but there is a lack of a systematic evaluation method:

[0003] 1) Traditional experiments only evaluate the effect of additives through a single index such as recovery rate or sequestration rate, without combining the microscopic displacement mechanism;

[0004] 2) It is impossible to monitor the multi-phase dynamic interaction process of CO2 - crude oil - additive in real time;

[0005] 3) A quantitative evaluation system for the synergistic enhancement of oil displacement and sequestration by chemical additives has not been established.

[0006] Based on this, it is very important to provide a full-process evaluation method from micro to macro and from oil displacement to sequestration through on-line nuclear magnetic resonance technology combined with multi-parameter displacement experiments. Summary of the Invention
