Abstract:

The strong shear degradation in the injection process of gel profile control and flooding system has seriously hindered the effectiveness of construction application. It is very important to improve the shear resistance of gel profile control and flooding system and achieve high-efficiency deep profile control and flooding. The multi-crosslinked hydrogel systems in which hydrophobically associating polymer (DHAP) and partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) were used as the main agents were studied in the aspects of shear resistance, gel forming performance, aging stability, plugging ability and the effect of profile control and flooding. The results showed that the viscosity loss of DHAP was only 4% after being sheared by a blast hole with an injection rate of 175 mL/min, and high strength of 15 Pa·s was still obtained after crosslinking and gelling, and the plugging rate in porous media could reach 91%. In the parallel core displacement experiment, effective profile control and flooding could be achieved, the sweep efficiency of low-permeability cores was expanded, and the oil recovery was improved by 10% compared with the HPAM-based system. By appropriately reducing the covalent crosslinking density, the hydrogel system of moderate covalent crosslinking+non-covalent crosslinking could exhibit good ability of profile control and flooding in porous media.

Key words: gel system, shear degradation, profile control and displacement, plugging efficiency, non-covalent crosslinking
