Carbon dioxide capture, enhanced-oil recovery and storage technology and engineering practice in Jilin Oilfield, NE China

This paper systematically presents the established technologies and field applications with respect to research and engineering practice of CO_(2) capture,enhanced oil recovery(EOR),and storage technology in Jilin Oilfield,NE China,and depicts the available series of supporting technologies across the industry chain.Through simulation calculation+pilot test+field application,the adaptability of the technology for capturing CO_(2) with different concentrations in oilfields was confirmed.The low energy-consumption,activated N-methyl diethanolamine(MDEA)decarburization technology based on a new activator was developed,and the operation mode of CO_(2) gas-phase transportation through trunk pipeline network,supercritical injection at wellhead,and produced gas-liquid separated transportation was established.According to different gas source conditions,liquid,supercritical phase,high-pressure dense phase pressurization technologies and facilities were applied to form the downhole injection processes(e.g.gas-tight tubing and coiled tubing)and supporting anti-corrosion and anti-blocking techniques.In the practice of oil displacement,the oil recovery technologies(e.g.conical water-alternating-gas injection,CO_(2) foam flooding,and high gas-oil ratio CO_(2) flooding)and produced fluid processing technologies were developed.Through numerical simulation and field tests,three kinds of CO_(2) cyclic injection technologies(i.e.direct injection,injection after separation and purification,and hybrid injection)were formed,and a 10×10^(4) m^(3)/d cyclic injection station was constructed to achieve"zero emission"of associated gas.The CO_(2) storage safety monitoring technology of carbon flux,fluid composition and carbon isotopic composition was formed.The whole-process anti-corrosion technology with anticorrosive agents supplemented by anticorrosive materials was established.An integrated demonstration area of CO_(2) capture,flooding and storage with high efficiency and low energy-consumption has been built,with a cumulative oil increment of 32×10^(4) t and a CO_(2) storage volume of 250×10^(4) t.
