Tight oil reservoirs, as a key focus in China’s current oil and gas development, present significant exploration challenges due to their poor physical properties, limited connectivity, and strong heterogeneity. During the exploration of tight oil reservoirs, the influence of different injection media and production methods on recovery mechanisms and performance remains unclear, severely restricting their efficient exploration of these reservoirs. Taking the Fuyu reservoir in the Daqing oilfield of PetroChina as a case study, laboratory experiments involving dynamic core injection were conducted using various injection media (CO2 and surfactants) and methods (displacement, huff-n-puff, and gas-water alternating injection) to investigate their effects on oil recovery mechanisms and efficiency in tight reservoirs. The results indicated that gas-water alternating displacement improved underground oil recovery by 4.14% compared to CO2 displacement and by 15.38% compared to surfactant displacement. Similarly, gas-water alternating huff-n-puff increased oil recovery by 0.54% over CO₂ huff-and-puff and by 5.09% compared to surfactant huff-n-puff. Displacement methods, after forming preferential oil flow channels, exhibited larger sweep volumes and higher oil displacement efficiency than huff-and-puff methods. Moreover, gas-water alternating injection effectively reduced fluid channeling compared to single-media injection and enhanced the sweep of fine pore spaces. Due to CO2’s superior viscosity reduction and dissolved gas drive effects on reservoir crude oil, CO2 injection achieved higher recovery than surfactant injection. Under identical injection-production conditions, low-viscosity crude oil exhibited a higher recovery compared to high-viscosity crude oil, as increased viscosity significantly raised flow resistance. The study reveals the differences in recovery performance associated with various injection media and methods, providing experimental evidence and theoretical support for the efficient development of tight oil reservoirs.
