摘要:

CO2波及效率与气窜问题,是制约低渗致密储层CO2驱油效果的关键因素。针对CO2驱波及效率低、易气窜的技术难题,提出利用黏弹性流体体系(CMS)来改善低渗致密储层CO2驱油效果,系统研究了CMS油藏条件下的黏弹性、界面活性、可注入性及封堵和驱油性能,探索了CO2-CMS的协同驱油作用,并开展了矿场试验。实验表明:油藏温度介于30~80 ℃时,质量分数为0.5%的CMS表现出一定的黏弹性,且以弹性为主,随温度升高,流体的黏性和弹性减弱;在油藏温度45 ℃时,CMS黏度为3.27 mPa·s,且弹性较强。此外,CMS能够有效降低油水界面张力至2.68×10-2 mN/m,岩心在CO2-CMS中浸泡后,水相接触角下降至8.75°,表明亲水性得到增强。CO2-CMS在低渗致密岩心的注入性良好,且段塞尺度越小,注入效果越佳。在长岩心驱替实验中,采用0.3 PV段塞式CMS驱后再CO2驱,采收率提高幅度可达27.79%。在双管并联岩心驱替实验中,CMS-CO2交替驱效果最佳,可有效封堵高渗岩心,启动低渗岩心,采收率提高幅度达26.28%。现场试验井组的数据表明:应用CMS后,整体产液、产油量均有所上升,气窜井产出气中CO2体积分数显著下降。这一研究成果为低渗致密油藏提升CO2驱油效果提供了新的技术借鉴和解决方案。

Abstract:

CO2 sweep efficiency and gas channeling are key factors restricting the effectiveness of CO2 flooding in low-permeability tight reservoirs. To address the technical issues of low sweep efficiency and gas susceptibility to channeling in CO2 flooding, a viscoelastic fluid system (CMS) was proposed to improve CO2 flooding in low-permeability tight reservoirs. A systematic study was conducted on the viscoelasticity, interfacial activity, injectivity, plugging performance, and oil displacement performance of CMS under oil reservoir conditions. The synergistic flooding performance of CO2-CMS was explored, and field trials were carried out. Experimental results demonstrated that at reservoir temperatures ranging from 30-80 ℃, CMS with a mass fraction of 0.5% showed certain viscoelasticity, with elasticity as the dominant characteristic, and both viscosity and elasticity decreased as temperature increased. At an oil reservoir temperature of 45 ℃, the viscosity of CMS was 3.27 mPa·s, and it exhibited strong elasticity. Furthermore, CMS could effectively reduce the oil-water interfacial tension to 2.68×10-2 mN/m. After core samples were immersed in the CO2-CMS system, the water-phase contact angle decreased to 8.75°, indicating enhanced hydrophilicity. The CO2-CMS system demonstrated good injectability in low-permeability tight cores, with smaller slug sizes yielding better injection performance. In long-core displacement experiments, using a 0.3 PV slug of CMS followed by CO2 flooding increased the recovery rate by up to 27.79%. In double-tube parallel core displacement experiments, alternating CMS and CO2 proved most effective, as it successfully sealed the high-permeability cores and mobilized low-permeability cores, resulting in a 26.28% increase in recovery. Field trial data from well groups indicated that after applying CMS, the overall liquid and oil production increased, and the CO2 volume fraction in gas-channeling wells significantly decreased. This research provides new technical insights and practical solutions for improving the efficiency of CO2 flooding in low-permeability tight reservoirs.
