Description

Method for rapidly determining minimum miscible pressure of crude oil by considering multiple contact processes
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for testing Minimum Miscible Pressure (MMP) in the process of oil reservoir gas injection in the field of petroleum and natural gas exploration and development.
Background
Among the various methods of enhanced oil recovery, gas injection miscible flooding is a widely used and effective method. In gas injection miscible flooding, minimum Miscible Pressure (MMP) is one of the key parameters. MMP is the pressure at which the injected gas reaches a miscible phase after multiple contacts with crude oil at reservoir temperature, at which time the interfacial tension between the injected gas and crude oil becomes zero to achieve a miscible phase. MMP is currently established by standard methods (SY/T6573-2016), but the thin tube experimental method has the disadvantages of time consumption and high cost; the rising bubble method and the disappearing interfacial tension method have a narrow application range due to the limited displacement type and the lack of a multi-contact miscible process, respectively.
