In the reservoir condition of Liaohe oil field, the indoor physical simulation experiments of polymer / surfactant binary combination flooding and polymer / surfactant / alkali (ASP) flooding in the artificial cores have been conducted. The results show that enhanced oil recovery of polymer flooding is about 24.4%, by utilizing experiment project that polymer molecular weight is 19 million, main slug concentration is 1500mg/L. Binary flooding system that molecular weight of polymer is 19 million, main slug concentration is 1500mg/L, 0.3% surfactant YR has improved the oil recovery by 30.1%. The ASP flooding system (19 million 1500mg/L polymer +0.3% surfactant SS+ 1.2%Na2CO3) has improved the oil recovery by 28.4%. It can be seen that the binary flooding system is best.

Abstract The heterogeneity of reservoirs in offshore oilfields, which causes low utilization of low-permeability reservoirs and poor exploitation of crude oil, is usually serious. Till date, fuzzy-ball fluids have been used to improve oil recovery of terrestrial heterogeneous reservoirs, but it is still uncertain whether it could enhance the recovery of offshore oilfields, because of high cost and special operating environment in offshore oilfields. To this end, laboratory core flooding experiments and field tests were conducted. The results of the feasibility analysis show that: (1) Fuzzy-ball fluid has good injection and plugging performance, which means fuzzy-ball fluid has great potential to be applied in enhancing recovery. (2) Fuzzy-ball fluid can greatly improve oil recovery, especially the recovery of low-permeability cores. Compared with polymer, surfactant and microsphere, fuzzy-ball fluid led to 30% higher recovery of low-permeability cores. (3) The application of fuzzy-ball fluid in enhancing recovery has good economic feasibility. The input-output ratio of fuzzy-ball fluid is 1:4.3. It is concluded that the use of fuzzy-ball fluid in the heterogeneous sandstone reservoirs for enhanced oil recovery is feasible.

Simultaneous utilization of surfactant and preformed particle gel (henceforth; PPG) flooding on the oil recovery enhancement has been widely investigated as a preferable enhanced oil recovery technique after the polymer flooding. In this paper, a numerical model is developed to simulate the profound impact of hybrid chemical enhanced oil recovery methods (PPG/polymer/surfactant) in sandstone reservoirs. Moreover, the gel particle conformance control is considered in the developed model after polymer flooding performances on the oil recovery enhancement. To validate the developed model, two sets of experimental field data from Daqing oil field (PPG conformance control after polymer flooding) and Shengli oil field (PPG-surfactant flooding after polymer flooding) are used to check the reliability of the model. Combination of preformed gel particles, polymers and surfactants due to the deformation, swelling, and physicochemical properties of gel particles can mobilize the trapped oil through the porous media to enhance oil recovery factor by blocking the high permeable channels. As a result, PPG conformance control plays an essential role in oil recovery enhancement. Furthermore, experimental data of PPG/polymer/surfactant flooding in the Shengli field and its comparison with the proposed model indicated that the model and experimental field data are in a good agreement. Consequently, the coupled model of surfactant and PPG flooding after polymer flooding performances has led to more recovery factor rather than the basic chemical recovery techniques.
