Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oilfield polymer injection technology, and in particular to an oilfield polymer injection fluid preparation device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, with the continuous development of the petroleum industry, oil extraction is divided into three stages: primary oil recovery, secondary oil recovery, and tertiary oil recovery. In the secondary oil recovery stage, gas or water is injected into the reservoir to increase reservoir pressure, replenishing the elastic energy of the rocks and fluids in the formation. This prevents the establishment of a new pressure balance between the rocks and fluids, allowing formation fluids to continuously flow to the well, thus enabling the extraction of oil that cannot be obtained using natural energy alone. In the tertiary oil recovery stage, various physical and chemical methods are used to alter the viscosity and adsorption of crude oil to rocks, increasing its flowability and further improving oil recovery rates. The main methods of tertiary oil recovery include polymer flooding, chemical flooding, gas flooding, thermal recovery, and microbial flooding.
[0003] In the polymer flooding process of tertiary oil recovery, the preparation of the polymer injection solution involves manually carrying bags of polymer raw materials one by one to the mixing tank, weighing them manually, and then having workers open the water inlet valve of the mixing tank. Water is injected into the mixing tank through a suction pump, which uses the jet principle to generate negative pressure at the suction inlet. Workers insert the other end of the suction pipe connected to the suction pump inlet into the raw material bags, uniformly mixing the polymer raw material particles one bag at a time and adding them to the mixing tank. The problems with this method are: high labor intensity from manually carrying and weighing the raw material bags, long manual addition time, and low data statistics efficiency. Utility Model Content
