Study of the Formation and Influence Factors of Silica Scale in ASP Flooding

Article Preview

Abstract:

ASP Flooding has a better displacement efficiency, but there is still a serious problem of wells scaling. Researched on formation mechanism and influence factors of silica scale in ASP flooding with alkali, the formation of silica scale is mainly due to the alkali dissolution reaction of reservoir rock to produce the soluble silicon ions and form silica scale in formation conditions. Laboratory experiments simulated formation mineralization aqueous solution, analyzed the morphology of silica scale by scanning electron microscopy, and studied the role played by calcium, magnesium, aluminum ion, polyacrylamide, surfactant. The experimental results show that: calcium, magnesium, aluminum ions, polyacrylamide, and surfactant can promote the formation of silica scale, and the morphology characteristics of silica scale are different.
