Abstract: In a pilot test of the oxygen-poor air drive in the Yumen Oilfield, the three production wells had premature gas channeling, which caused a substantial drop in the liquid and oil production and affected normal production. The foam properties of different formulations with a salinity of 8.3×104 mg/L and a temperature of 114℃, were determined with the Waring Blender method. The optimal formulation was determined:0.2%WP4 + 0.3% NS enhanced foam system. The stability at high-temperature and high-pressure, the plugging of low permeability cracks, and the EOR effect of oxygen-poor air foam injection after gas drive studied. The results show that the stability of the enhanced foam is improved under high-pressure. It can also increase the resistance of the fluid flowing in the matrix and the cracks and can control the fluidity. The resistance factor is between 5.09~38.66. Enhanced foam profile control and displacement after oxygen-poor air drive can increase the recovery efficiency of core by 16.70%~38.11%.
