Abstract:

In the low-permeability reservoir, injection water is easy to flow along the high-permeability strips after simply profile control on the micro-fractures, which induces severe problems in the reservoir development. In this work, the foaming and stabilizing performance of a foam system and the gelling properties of a modified starch gel were evaluated. Then, the microadjustment and flooding of the foam and the collaborative oil displacement experiment of this compound system with fractured low-permeability core were carried out. The adaptability of collaborative oil displacement was verified with radial flow model, and the actual reservoir pattern was simulated. The experimental results show that the optimal mass concentrations of foaming agent and foam stabilizer are 0.5% and 0.1%, respectively. The strength and breakthrough pressure of starch gel system is high. After foam injection, the micro oil displacement efficiency of small pores during further water flooding is 14.21% higher than that of previous water flooding. And when the permeability ratio is approximately 30, its profile control performance is better. In the process of water flooding in fractured low-permeability reservoir, the collaborative oil displacement efficiency of modified starch gel combined with foam is best, which can increase the recovery by 22.17% and 46.07% as respectively compared with that of single use of modified starch gel or foam system. Moreover, the radial flow model validation experiment shows that the adaptability of this method is good in fractured low-permeability reservoir.
