摘要:
要:SJ 油田为一低渗透油藏,天然能量低。受 CO2气源不足以及油井管柱抗腐蚀能力差的限制,持续的
CO2–EOR 不适合 SJ 油田的实际情况。鉴于此,一个改进的对策是用 N2推动的 CO2前置段塞驱代替持续的 CO2驱
油。本文根据 SJ 油田先导试验区的流体特征,对比了连续注入 CO2驱油和 N2推动的 CO2前置段塞混相驱油的效果
和机理。在注 CO2、N2细管驱替效率及最小混相压力实验测试基础上,通过注 CO2、N2与地层原油多级接触混相驱

续 N2顶替驱油时原油与注入气的互溶情况、气驱界面张力变化规律、气驱过程中 C2—C6的中间烃组分在油气两相中
的分布、气驱过程中油气两相的黏度以及密度变化。结果表明 SJ 油田实施前置 CO2段塞 + 后续 N2顶替驱油时,后
续的 N2与前置的 CO2段塞不会出现严重的扩散弥散,注气前缘仍能保持 CO2的富集并实现稳定的混相驱油即在注

Abstract: Abstract:SJ oil reservoir’s permeability is low and its natural energy is poor. However,because of the inadequate CO2source
and the poor resistance of the pipelines to CO2-corrosion,the continuous CO2injection is unavailable in the field. In that
case,another improved strategy is the replacement of the continuous CO2 injection by CO2slugs pushed by N2. Based on the
formation hydrocarbon characteristics of the pilot test block,we try to compare the mechanism of CO2slugs drive pushed by
N2with the continuous CO2drive. After we tested the recovery percent and minimum miscibility pressure(MMP)of CO2slugs
drive pushed by N2and CO2drive by slim tube experiments,our research are the multiple contact simulation of CO2drive and
N2drive and the one-dimensional simulation of long slim tube of CO2slugs pushed by N2. We analyse the intermiscibility of
gas slug and the crude oil,the interfacial tension between gas phase and liquid phase,the concentration of C2-C6in the two
phases,density and viscosity of such two phases. The simulation results indicate no serious diffusion and dispersion of CO2
and N2occur when CO2slug pushed by N2displaces the crude oil during the long slim tube test. The CO2concentration of the
multicontect front is in a high level to keep a stable miscible displacement front to drive oil. CO2slugs pushed by N2can gain
the same oil recovery with continuous CO2flooding in the same volume of gas injection. Such gas slug displacementreduce
the amount of CO2,so it can slow the CO2-corrosion to the pipelines caused by the continuous CO2injection. The cognition
provides inspiration function for the development and improvement CO2-EOR.
