Problems solved by technology

[0006] (1) The oil displacement system mainly increases the viscosity of the solution by adding polymer (HPAM), but during the configuration and pumping of the polymer solution, the viscosity loss exceeds 60-70% after entering the formation due to shearing, The shear degradation of polymer seriously reduces the effect of chemical flooding. Therefore, in order to ensure that the oil displacement system entering the formation can have a high viscosity, it is necessary to use a high-concentration polymer system, which greatly increases the cost of chemical flooding.
[0007] (2) During the long-term injection process of the polymer-containing flooding system, the residual polymer in the near-wellbore area of ​​the injection well and the production well will be cross-linked, causing formation plugging, and the use of an oxidant system for plugging removal operations not only has safety risks, but also At the same time, the effective period of plugging removal is short, which seriously affects the productivity of oil and water wells

Abstract

The invention discloses an oil-in-water emulsion oil displacement agent for crude oil chemical flooding for recovery efficiency improvement. The oil-in-water emulsion oil displacement agent is prepared from, by weight, 1-5 % of nano silica sol, 0.02-0.2% of octadecyl dimethylamine, 5-10% of 5 # white oil and the balance water and is prepared through mixing, wherein the particle size of the nano silica sol is 7-12 nm, and the weight percentage content sum of the components is 100%. The viscosity and stability of oil-in-water emulsion is improved by adding nano silica, the oil-in-water emulsion can improve the displacement efficiency of chemical flooding and also improve sweep efficiency and can improve the displacement efficiency by 30% or above based on water flooding by serving as the oil displacement agent for tertiary oil recovery.

Description

[0001] Technical field: [0002] The invention relates to a chemical oil displacement agent for crude oil, in particular to an oil-in-water displacement system strengthened by nanoparticles, and belongs to the technical field of enhanced oil recovery. [0003] Background technique: [0004] Chemical flooding technology is the main method to further improve oil recovery after primary oil recovery (self-spraying production) and secondary oil recovery (water injection development) in my country's oilfields. There are two mechanisms for chemical flooding to increase oil recovery: one is to increase The viscosity of the oil system is used to increase the sweep coefficient, and the second is to increase the oil washing efficiency by reducing the oil-water interfacial tension and changing the wettability of the formation. [0005] Although the indoor research and field application of chemical flooding have achieved good results in enhancing oil recovery (indoor tests show that chemical...
