Research on the Effect of Movable Gel Flooding after Polymer Flooding

Abstract:

The experiments on microscopic displacement of flowing gel flooding after water and polymer flooding were carried out with the sand-packing model. The experimental results of the microscopic displacement indicate that oil recovery can be further enhanced using flowing gel after water and polymer flooding, and the enhanced range is about 15 percent. Flowing gel flows preferentially through the largerchannels occupied previously by injected water in flowing gel injection process, improves sweep efficiency of injected water. Because of its viscoelastic, it can be stretched through the narrow pore deformation. The strength was reduced by the shear, dilution, and it would be driven out by the water from the pores and continue to move forward. Therefore, the main function of flowing gel is flooding, while profile modification is temporary effect. Flowing gel flooding can significantly reduce the cost of chemicals. From the development of tertiary oil recovery trend, flowing gel flooding is a technology that is being developed and perfected, with high technology-economic feasibility.
