Abstract:

Research feasibility of steamflooding after polymerflooding to thin oil reservoir to improve recovery, experiments are carried out. Materials are natural core cylindrical. First, waterflooding and polymerflooding are studied at 45°C and steamflooding the environment temperature and injection steam temperature is studied. The results showed range of steamflooding recovery increased to 28.3%. When fixed pressure, steamflooding recovery is increasing with the number PV. Ultimately they are stable value. Efficient the number of PV is 1.4.Steamflooding recovery range is increasing then reducing. Optimum displacement temperature is exceeding saturation vapor 10-15°C.Steamflooding efficiency is concerned with pressure and steam injection rate. Excessive steam rate is insignificant and in this experiment 0.2ml/min is appropriate.Permeability increasing contributes to recovery increasing. But in higher steam injection temperature, extortionate permeability , 1μm2 ,can increase steam fingering. Increasing steam injection temperature can boost obviously steam recovery to medium permeability cores .
