Based on the geological characteristics of continental reservoirs, five theories and key technologies have been developed:(1) Enriched the understandings about the mass transfer characteristics of components between CO2 and crude oil in continental reservoirs, micro-flooding mechanism and sequestration mechanism of different geological bodies.(2) Established the design method of reservoir engineering parameters, injection-production control technology and development effect evaluation technology of CO2 flooding, etc.(3) Developed a series of production engineering technologies such as separated layer CO2 injection technology, high efficiency lifting technology, on-line wellbore corrosion monitoring and protection technology.(4) Innovated a series of surface engineering technology including CO2 capture technology, pipeline CO2 transportation, CO2 surface injection, and production gas circulation injection, etc.(5) Formed a series of supporting technologies including monitoring, and safety and environmental protection evaluation of CO2 flooding reservoir. On this basis, the technological development directions in the future have been put forward:(1) Breakthrough in low-cost CO2 capture technology to provide cheap CO2 gas source;(2) Improve the miscibility technology between CO2 and crude oil to enhance oil displacement efficiency;(3) Improve CO2 sweeping volume;(4) Develop more effective lifting tools and technologies;(5) Strengthen the research of basic theory and key technology of CO2 storage monitoring. CO2 flooding and sequestration in the Jilin Oilfield shows that this technology has broad application prospects in China.展开更多

By dynamically considering these phenomena with reservoir conditions it is thus feasible to extract the frequency-dependent velocity factor with the aim of monitoring changes in the reservoir both before and after CO2 injection. In the paper, we derive a quantitative expression for the frequency-dependent factor based on the Robinson seismic convolution model. In addition, an inversion equation with a frequency-dependent velocity factor is constructed, and a procedure is implemented using the following four processing steps： decomposition of the spectrum by generalized S transform, wavelet extraction of cross-well seismic traces, spectrum equalization processing, and an extraction method for frequency-dependent velocity factor based on the damped least-square algorithm. An attenuation layered model is then established based on changes in the Q value of the viscoelastic medium, and spectra of migration profiles from forward modeling are obtained and analyzed. Frequency-dependent factors are extracted and compared, and the effectiveness of the method is then verified using a synthetic data. The frequency-dependent velocity factor is finally applied to target processing and oil displacement monitoring based on real seismic data obtained before and after CO2 injection in the G89 well block within Shengli oilfield. Profiles and slices of the frequency-dependent factor determine its ability to indicate differences in CO2 flooding, and the predicting results are highly consistent with those of practical investigations within the well block.展开更多
