Abstract

The invention discloses a method for increasing petroleum production rate of a low-permeability oil reservoir through air and microorganism flooding. The method includes that microorganisms, nutritional agents and air are provided, and the microorganisms are endogenous microorganisms in the oil reservoir; an air-microorganism composite injection mode refers to injecting the microorganisms and the nutritional agents into the oil reservoir by means of a slug and then injecting an air slug into the oil reservoir in a form a small slug. The microorganisms utilize the nutritional agents and the air for quick fermentation and consuming oxygen in the air, oxygen content is reduced to be below 3% which is a safe value, and microorganism metabolism surfactant emulsifies crude oil, emulsified particles expand wave and size while lowering flow seepage resistance; rock pore and throat radius of the low-permeability oil reservoir are small, microbial thalluses have wave and size expanding effect, and crude oil recovery rate is increased further.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for increasing oil recovery by air microbial composite flooding in low-permeability oil reservoirs, in particular to using microorganisms to quickly consume oxygen in the air to reduce the safety risk caused by the existence of oxygen; zone, expanding the swept volume; using microbial metabolites to improve the properties of the oil-water interface to enhance oil recovery. Background technique [0002] The air flooding method is a method in which air is injected into the oil reservoir through an air compressor to drive oil. The air entering the oil reservoir mainly undergoes low-temperature oxidation and high-temperature oxidation reactions with crude oil. Low temperature oxidation is suitable for light and conventional crude oils. The main reasons for the application of air flooding are firstly that the source of air is wide and not restricted by space and region; secondly, the cost is low and applicable to a wide r...
