Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the main process adopted in the field test of endogenous microbial flooding to enhance oil recovery is to inject the selected activator into the water wells of the test block at a certain injection rate and concentration in a continuous or slug manner. The injection of activator adopts the method of injecting all water wells at the same time, which does not take into account that different water wells correspond to oil layers with different permeability. Therefore, most of the activators are injected into high-permeability oil layers, while the amount of activator injected into low-permeability oil layers is small. On the one hand, it causes waste of activator, on the other hand, it greatly affects the overall recovery rate of the test block

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of tertiary oil recovery, and particularly relates to a method for increasing the crude oil recovery rate through indigenous microbial drive. The method specifically comprises the following steps that oil reservoirs are screened; high-permeability oil layers, middle-permeability oil layers and low-permeability oil layers are determined; activating agent systems are determined; field injection processes are determined; and field tests are conducted. Different activating agent systems and field injection processes are selected according to the oil layers with different permeability of the target oil reservoirs, indigenous microorganisms of different oil layers are well activated, and therefore the field test effect of the indigenous microbial drive oil reservoirs can be effectively improved. Meanwhile, the method has the characteristics of being simple in process and high in pertinence and operability. Accordingly, the method can be widely applied to the technical field of microbial enhanced oil recovery.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tertiary oil recovery, and in particular relates to a method for enhancing oil recovery by endogenous microbial flooding. Background technique [0002] Microbial oil recovery refers to the comprehensive action of microorganisms and their metabolites with reservoir rocks and fluids to improve the oil-water mobility ratio, thereby achieving the purpose of enhancing oil recovery. Microbial oil recovery technology has the advantages of low investment cost, no pollution to the environment and a wide range of reservoir adaptation, so it has broad field application prospects. Microbial oil recovery is divided into two types: endogenous microbial oil recovery and exogenous microbial oil recovery according to the source of microorganisms. Among them, the endogenous microbial oil recovery technology injects activators into the oil reservoir to activate the endogenous microorganisms in the oil reservoir, using the m...
