[0002] The following problems may occur in the process of oilfield exploitation: the spacing between injection and production wells is long, and the physical properties of the sedimentary sand bodies in the underground oil reservoirs corresponding to the injection and production wells change rapidly, resulting in increased physical property heterogeneity. This is manifested as the water injection wells cannot be injected, the pressure is high, and the injected water has no obvious direction, which affects the recovery rate. At this time, chemical agents need to be injected into the underground sand bodies to unblock them. At present, there is a lack of equipment for quantitatively evaluating the chemical effects of chemical types and scales under different sedimentary phases, which makes it impossible to accurately obtain the injection effect of underground rocks in the oilfield area and accurately determine the reasonable dosage of chemical agents. Small dosage will lead to low oilfield recovery, and high dosage will lead to waste. Utility Model Content

[0032] The working principle of the device for evaluating the effect of water injection well in the up-dip area of ​​the utility model is as follows:

[0033] The process of evaluating the quantitative contamination of the core blocks of the oil field to be tested by the polymer solution and the effect and range of the acid solution on the polymer blockage is as follows:

[0034] 1) Place the core block to be tested in the groove and cover the top of the core block to be tested with a cover plate, connect the injection liquid conduit of the liquid injection system and the production liquid conduit of the liquid production system to the injection port and the production port opened on the core block to be tested through the conduit holes on the cover plate respectively; use the ring pressure device to apply pressure to the bottom surface and surrounding of the core block to be tested.

[0035] 2) Connecting the booster pump to the polymer liquid storage tank through a four-way valve, turning on the booster pump to inject the polymer solution into the core block to be tested until the injection liquid conduit reaches its upper pressure limit; during the polymer solution injection process, a two-dimensional relationship curve between the pressure at the injection port of the core block and the volume of the polymer solution injected into the core block is obtained based on the flow data collected by the first flow meter and the pressure data collected by the first pressure sensor.

[0036] By reading the flow rate data and time data of the flow meter, the volume of the polymer liquid pumped at the corresponding moment can be calculated.

[0037] The quantitative contamination of the core blocks of the oil field to be tested by the polymer can be evaluated based on the cumulative injection volume of the polymer solution.

[0038] 3) Connect the booster pump to the acid storage tank through a four-way valve, start the booster pump and inject acid into the core block to be tested, evaluate the deblocking effect of the acid on the polymer block based on the pressure and flow changes of the injection system before and after the injection of the acid, and evaluate the deblocking range of the acid on the oil field to be tested by measuring the diffusion range of the liquid in the cross section perpendicular to the three layered structures of the core block to be tested before and after the deblocking.

[0039] The working process for evaluating the flow direction trend of the fluid in the core within a certain area is as follows:

[0040] The booster pump is connected to the clean water storage tank through a four-way valve, and the booster pump is turned on to inject clean water into the core block to be tested. The flow direction of the fluid is sensed by the vibration receiving device, and the resistance change trend is obtained by the resistance measuring instrument, so as to qualitatively / quantitatively evaluate the flow direction trend of the fluid in the core in a certain area.

[0041] A core block to be tested is formed into a right triangular prism with a right-angled triangle bottom by stacking a core block taken from an injection well of the oil field to be tested and two core blocks taken from oil production wells of the oil field to be tested, and the core block of the injection well is located in the middle and the core blocks of the oil production well are located on both sides. The three layers of core blocks are arranged in sequence along one of the right-angled sides of the bottom of the right triangular prism. The relative positions of the core blocks of the oil production well and the core blocks of the water injection well are similar to the relative positions of the water injection wells and the oil production wells in the injection and production well network of the oil field. Therefore, the density of the underground rock of the oil field to be tested can be characterized by the density of the core block to be tested, and the density of the underground rock of the oil field to be tested can be characterized by the density of the core block to be tested. The injection effect of the block can characterize the injection effect of the oil field to be tested; the polymer liquid is injected into the core block to be tested by using a liquid injection system. When the liquid injection system reaches the equipment pressure limit, the polymer liquid cannot be injected, thereby simulating the contamination of the polymer to the oil field to be tested. When the polymer liquid cannot be injected, acid is injected into the core block to be tested, and the change in pressure and flow rate of the injection port and the production port can be used to quantitatively evaluate the unblocking effect of the core block to be tested, thereby reflecting the injection effect of the water injection well of the oil field to be tested, and then the reasonable amount of chemical agents used for unblocking can be determined. The device for evaluating the injection effect of water injection wells in the up-dip area of ​​the utility model can accurately evaluate the injection effect of water injection wells in the up-dip area, thereby accurately determining the reasonable amount of chemical agents used for unblocking.
