Detailed Description
The technical scheme of the invention is further explained by combining the attached drawings.
The inventor researches and discovers that the foam fluid has the characteristics of strong injectability, selective plugging, high plugging without low plugging, water plugging without oil plugging, and is very suitable for plugging profile control exploitation of low-permeability heterogeneous oil reservoirs. Indoor and mine field experiments prove that the foam fluid has higher resistance factors in the porous medium, can realize the plugging of a high-permeability area in a heterogeneous oil reservoir, improves the integral heterogeneity of a stratum and achieves the aim of improving the recovery ratio. The foamability and stability of a conventional liquid-phase foam system are mainly determined by the performance of a selected foaming agent, and under the condition of high temperature of an oil reservoir and the existence of high-salinity formation water, the foam is extremely easy to break, the plugging and oil displacement capacity is reduced, the plugging strength is limited, the plugging effective period is short, and the mine field profile control effect is not ideal. Accordingly, high stability foam systems have become the focus of research and development by researchers.
With the continuous progress of nanotechnology and material research, nanoparticle-stabilized foam systems are receiving great attention from researchers. The nano particles are distributed on the gas/liquid film interface of the foam through irreversible adsorption, and a multi-layer or net-shaped structure is formed between liquid films, so that the possibility of liquid film breakage can be greatly reduced, and the stability of the foam is greatly improved. Recently, black phosphorus nano-materials are favored by researchers, which are very similar to graphene in performance and structure, exhibit a lamellar network structure, and are widely used for drug-loading and photothermal therapy due to their excellent photothermal properties and modifiability. The invention finds other purposes of the black phosphorus nanosheet, and the black phosphorus nanosheet modified by PEG modification has the effect of stabilizing foam under high mineralization.
