Problems solved by technology

However, the difficulty of water flooding heavy oil technology is that the viscosity of formation heavy oil is much higher than that of injected water, resulting in irregular oil-water fronts, viscous fingering and water channeling, which greatly reduce the recovery of water flooding heavy oil
At the same time, reservoir heterogeneity further exacerbates the difficulty of water flooding heavy oil production.
Affected by reservoir heterogeneity, the higher the crude oil viscosity, the larger the permeability gradient and the lower the displacement efficiency
[0003] Traditional polymer flooding can increase the viscosity of the water phase to reduce viscous fingering and water channeling, but the polymer has no viscosity-reducing function and is easy to block pore throats, which makes it only suitable for low-viscosity oil reservoirs
Although viscosity reducer flooding can reduce the viscosity of heavy oil, its high mobility ratio to heavy oil is prone to viscous fingering and becomes ineffective water flooding.
Binary flooding and ASP flooding are prone to chromatographic separation, and the production degree of deep heavy oil is low
[0006] In addition, in the process of heavy oil production, how to reduce the viscosity of heavy oil is one of the key issues, but the existing reports on viscoelastic surfactants rarely pay attention to this issue

Abstract

The invention discloses a viscoelastic surfactant system based on an oligomerization agent. The system is composed of 0.05%-0.5% of an ethoxy quaternary ammonium salt type oligomeric surfactant, 0.03%-0.8% of an anionic and nonionic surfactant and the balance of water. The anionic and nonionic surfactant provided by the invention is selected from alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether sulfonate or sulfate, and alkyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfonate or sulfate. The viscoelastic surfactant system disclosed by the invention has double effects of profile control and displacement and viscosity reduction, can effectively reduce the viscosity of thickened oil, and greatly reduces the viscous force of the thickened oil in rock gaps, meanwhile, the water-phase viscosity can be improved, the fluidity ratio is reduced, the swept volume is increased, and therefore the water-drive thickened oil recovery rate is effectively increased.
