The results showed that the decrease in the concentration of alkali could increase the apparent viscosity of ASP solutions, namely, the apparent viscosity increased and the IFT couldn’t get ultra low, and the oil recovery efficiency by ASP solution with a reasonably lower concentration of alkali was not less than that with a higher concentration of alkali and ultra low IFT. The experiments with models having impermeable interlayers between adjacent layers, and by means of “co-injection and separate production” showed that the ASP solution with a higher viscosity and a lower alkali concentration was more beneficial to starting-up medium and low permeability layers and enhancing total oil recovery. Therefore, to heterogeneous reservoir, as factors of affecting oil recovery, the apparent viscosity may be more important than the ultralow IFT. Furthermore, on the premise that the concentration of surfactant and the concentration of polymer keep constant, ASP flooding with low alkali concentration not only enlarges the selectable range of surfactants and decreases the cost of ASP flooding, but also solves the problem of alkali scales. Finally, a dynamic absorption experiment was performed with a 05 meter long linked-up natural core to determine alkali wastage in formation. The result being accord with the application case in the pilot confirmed that it was not necessary to add the alkali too much in ASP flooding from a new direction.展开更多

The adaptability of classical fluid mechanics in channels with different sizes has been discussed. The results show that water flows in channels of 2μm diameter also have few size effects and white oil flow accord with classical fluid mechanics theory in channels of 25μm diameter too, but polymer solution appears an obvious size effect as diameters of channels decrease to 16μm. The wettability does not produce any influences on the water or white oil flows in channels of 25μm or 50μm diameter. The experimental technology of microscale flows has been first applied for studying the flow performances of pores in low permeability reservoir. This study found a base for deep investigating the percolation mechanism in low permeability reservoirs.展开更多
