Definitions

  • This invention is in the field of oil and gas recovery from an underground formation. More particularly, the invention relates to a method for modifying the water permeability of a subterranean formation, comprising injecting, into the subterranean formation, an injection fluid comprising at least one encapsulated (co) polymer. in an envelope.
  • the formations sometimes have interesting areas containing hydrocarbons but with strong contrasts in permeabilities or different volume fractions of water.
  • the injected water finds the path with the least resistance to its propagation, that is to say the most relative permeability. favorable to water, to reach production wells quickly, i.e. it passes through areas with a high water volume fraction and / or with a high permeability, thus flowing avoiding d other areas rich in hydrocarbons less favorable to its propagation without pushing them towards production wells.
  • Polymeric solutions are injected into such high permeability and / or high water content areas to replace existing fluids and reduce their water permeability due to their high viscosity. These polymeric solutions, once in their gelled form, are used to divert the flow of water or gas towards the less permeable zones by permanently blocking the zones of high permeability. The blocking of certain areas may indeed prove to be necessary given that they may be the source of water inflows which seriously disturb the recovery of the hydrocarbons.
  • the gel-based processes do not make it possible to easily control either the gelation kinetics or the consistency of the gel; they generate a high risk of damage to the well, they cause the retention and adsorption of the crosslinking agent on the reservoir rock, and they only allow the placement of the gel in areas of high permeability with difficulty while avoiding the invasion of the oil or gas zones by, among other things, the viscosity which they impart to the injected fluid.
  • the problem which the Applicant proposes to solve is the protection against chemical and mechanical degradation of the polymers used during a process for modifying the permeability to water of an underground formation without using crosslinking agents.

  • the fluid comprising a concentration of linear (co) polymer E such that once released and in contact with water, the viscosity of the injection fluid is greater than the viscosity of petroleum present in the training.
  • polymer composed of at least one monomer is meant a polymer obtained from several molecules of at least one monomer.
  • a polymer of a monomer corresponds to a polymer obtained from several repeating units of molecules of a monomer.
  • the dispersion and the injection fluid are devoid of a crosslinking agent.
  • the modification of the underground formation results from the increase in the viscosity of the fluid injected during the release of the polymer E.
  • the polymer E being linear and not crosslinking during its release into the injected fluid, the modification of the formation underground is not due to the gelation of the fluid.
