[0032] Among them, ultrasonic flooding is to use ultrasonic waves generated by combining AC power supply, ultrasonic generator, transmission cable and electroacoustic transducer to flood oil.
[0033] Specifically, using water and microemulsion for oil recovery while combining the effect of ultrasound can further improve the crude oil recovery rate.
[0034] Optionally, ultrasonic flooding includes: turning on the AC power supply, applying ultrasonic waves of a preset frequency to the oil layer through an ultrasonic generator, a transmission cable and an electroacoustic transducer to perform ultrasonic flooding, wherein the preset frequency is set between 20 and 60 kHz, and the preferred preset frequency is 32 kHz.
[0035] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a microemulsion and ultrasonic composite oil recovery system, which includes an injection water container, a microemulsion container, a high-pressure pump group, an AC power supply, an ultrasonic generator, a transmission cable, and an electroacoustic transducer.
