Abstract: It is a new and effective technology to enhance oil recovery by using insitu CO2 to reduce oil viscosity. The authors research the method to determine the oil viscosity reduction by using insitu CO2, and bring forward the method of resistance coefficient. The evaluation is done to the single liquid system and dual liquids system of insitu CO2 ability of reducing oil viscosity in the sand pack. The results indicate that the single liquid system can reduce the oil viscosity by 42.15%, and the dualliquid system can reduce the oil viscosity by 52.69% when the oil viscosity is 12904.1mPa•s, the temperature 70℃, the pressure 6MPa. It shows the method of resistance coefficient to determine the degree of viscosity reduction is feasible and effective.
