Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of by the method carrying oil formation recovery of oil.Especially, the present invention relates to
The fluid that a kind of utilization comprises polymer is by the method carrying oil formation recovery of oil.
Background technology
Owing to carrying the natural pressure of oil formation, only can gather and be present in the part oil carrying oil formation.
By this " for the first time " gather gathered oil be usually in stratum oil 5-35%.Have been developed for
Strengthening oil recovery method can be higher than by what load oil formation was gathered or be adopted beyond in primary recovery to increase
The amount of the oil of those received.
(wherein water injects load oil formation so that oil flows and drives oil to pass through by injecting well to water drive
Stratum is with from withdrawal well output) be widely used for increasing gather from stratum beyond first
The secondary recovery method of the amount of the oil gathered.It is likely to be due to water fingering by the oil mass of water drive output
Reducing through the oil in stratum, this is partially due to viscous between oil in injecting water and stratum
Degree official post obtains water and is more easy to flowing than the oil in stratum.Formation crude stayed by the oil bypassed by water fingering
At Wei, and it is generally not capable of being gathered by further water drive, this is because inject the extra of stratum
Water still passes through stratum along the path of initial water.
Water-soluble polymer has been added viscosity and the fall injecting the water carrying oil formation to increase water
The differences in viscosity between oil in low injection water and stratum, improve water with oil mobility ratio and by
This reduces water fingering by oil.Which improve water displacement sweep efficiency in the earth formation and improve oil and adopt
Receive.Waterborne polymeric mixture can be driven through stratum with class plug flow so that in stratum
Oil flowing for output, wherein decrease aqueous relative to the water not having polymer and drive solution
Fingering is by oil.
The water-soluble polymer of ion live-wire is used together with low salinity water, wherein " Low-salinity "
Water has 15, total dissolved solidss (" the TDS ") content of 000ppm or lower, poly-to produce aqueous
Polymer mixtures is for by carrying oil formation recovery of oil.The water-soluble polymer of ion live-wire and less salt
Degree water is used together so that utilizing the polymer of minimum to significantly increase the viscosity of water, thus gives
Fixed polymer concentration will provide higher aqueous viscosity, reduce aqueous phase salinity simultaneously.
But the viscosity of waterborne polymeric mixture may occur when introducing a mixture into load oil formation
Change, this is waterborne polymeric mixture, between formation rock (mineral and clay) and formation water
Ion is occurred to exchange due to the difference of ion concentration, particularly divalent cation concentration, especially
It it is the result of divalent ion exchange.Ion exchange between formation water and waterborne polymeric mixture
Occur when mixing, the now ion concentration of the mixture of formation water and waterborne polymeric mixture
Balance, and due to waterborne polymeric mixture and the Low-salinity having than waterborne polymeric mixture
The formation water mixing of water higher TDS content, may cause in the aqueous environments of polymer is total
Cation and divalent cation concentration increase.Stratum is compared when the water of waterborne polymeric mixture has
Ion exchange during the lower TDS content of water, between waterborne polymeric mixture and formation rock
May result in bivalent cation to peel off from waterborne polymeric mixture.
If the divalent cation concentration of formation water higher than waterborne polymeric mixture bivalence sun from
Sub-concentration, the viscosity of waterborne polymeric mixture can reduce when mixing with formation water, thus change
Become the mobility ratio of waterborne polymeric mixture and the oil in stratum and waterborne polymeric may be reduced
Mixture suppression mixture fingering is through the effect of the oil in stratum.Additionally, have relative to water
The formation water of the property higher bivalent cation content of polymeric blends can be due to polymers for divalent
The affinity of cation and the polymer of precipitation mixture, may reduce the permeability on stratum.As
Really the bivalent cation content of formation water is less than the bivalent cation content of waterborne polymeric mixture
And/or if owing to exchange with formation rock ion and make substantial amounts of bivalent cation gather from aqueous
Polymer mixtures is peeled off, and the viscosity of waterborne polymeric mixture can improve, and thus may suppression mix
Stratum is passed through in compound flowing.Additionally, due to waterborne polymeric mixture with have relative to aqueous
The formation water contact of the higher bivalent cation content of polymeric blends may cause formation damage
Swelling with clay, this is because due to the affinity of polymers for divalent cations, polymerizable aqueous
Thing mixture can peel off bivalent cation from stratum and formation water, causes clay deflocculation.
The method improved is needed to keep the viscosity introducing the waterborne polymeric mixture carrying oil formation
From stratum output oil.

LSP solution processes.With the 3ml fraction collection respective effluent of these steps.Each step stream
Go out the concentration of the sodium of thing fraction, potassium, calcium and magnesium cation by inductively coupled plasma element
Analyze the peeling effect measuring water and polymer solution to determine injection.Fig. 6 and 7 gives
Synthesis formation brine, the low salinity water of design, HSP solution and the outflow of LSP solution injected
Na in thing+、Ca2+、Mg2+And K+Measurement concentration.HSP solution effluent and LSP solution stream
Go out the Ca in thing2+And Mg2+Concentration slightly higher than at these solution, each injects HSP when starting
With the concentration of these cationes in LSP solution, this is probably polymer to calcium and the affinity of magnesium
Effect.But during injecting HSP and LSP solution, the calcium in effluent and magnesium density
Fast quick-recovery extremely injects the baseline of these cation concns in solution.It is essential that LSP is molten
Liquid does not demonstrate relative to HSP solution Ca2+And Mg2+Obvious stripping, this shows LSP
The Low-salinity of solution can not cause calcium and the magnesium cation peeling off pronounced amount from core.
HSP solution is injected the viscosity of effluent and LSP solution injection effluent and is surveyed by flow graph
Amount.Fig. 8 gives HSP solution effluent and the viscosity of LSP solution effluent.Each effluent
Demonstrating that about 10% viscosity declines when injecting beginning, then viscosity maintains an equal level.It is apparent that LSP
The viscosity of solution declines the viscosity decline being substantially similar to HSP solution, and this shows LSP solution
Viscosity will not be significantly affected by the Low-salinity of LSP solution.This can close be coupled to LSP solution will not
Substantial amounts of Ca is peeled off from core2+And Mg2+, this is attributable to the MAR of LSP solution equal to HSP
The MAR of solution.
