Problems solved by technology

Looking at all the thermochemical oil recovery technologies for heavy oil, the current heat supply is mostly steam as the thermal fluid, and the lower temperature has a greater impact on the effect of auxiliary chemical agents, and the process also has harsh equipment requirements, high energy consumption for generating steam, and boilers occupying Due to issues such as large ground space, high heat loss, and sensitivity to environmental impacts, it is often difficult to implement technology for oil fields with large well depths, limited space or load bearing, and obvious impacts from climatic conditions. The effect of the two working together in different temperature regions

Abstract

The invention discloses a thermo-chemical oil extraction method of offshore thickened oil. The method comprises the following steps of: heating water injected into a heat exchanger to 150-200 DEG C by utilizing high-temperature tail gas or combustion waste heat; then, carrying a surfactant on line by the injected water; injecting a catalyst solution into a section plug; and injecting the surfactant and the catalyst solution into a thickened oil layer to carry out chemically reinforced heat oil displacement. The method disclosed by the invention takes full advantages of local conditions, recycles the waste heat and saves energy; the temperature of the injected water is raised on line to realize low-temperature heat water oil displacement; the conditions are more alleviated (compared with the traditional thickened oil thermo-chemical oil extraction by injecting steam); and the investment cost and the maintenance cost are lower and the energy-saving and synergistic offshore thermo-chemical oil displacement can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for recovering heavy oil at sea, in particular to a method for thermochemically recovering heavy oil at sea. Background technique [0002] There are abundant oil and gas resources in my country's sea areas, and the efficient development of offshore oil fields is becoming more and more important to national economic development and national security. With the continuous development of offshore oilfields, the types of oilfields to be put into production are becoming more and more complex, and the contradictions exposed in the production oilfields are gradually increasing. In order to develop more reserves and produce more crude oil during the life of offshore platforms, enhanced oil recovery technology plays an increasingly important role in offshore oilfield development. The geological reserves of heavy oil in my country's offshore oilfields have been found to account for about 70% of the total geological reserves, and...
