Injecting profile control agent (PCA) into deep reservoir can decrease the inefficient circulation of injected water effectively, which is critical to improve polymer flooding in heterogeneous reservoir. Polymer flooding contrast experiments were carried out with three PCAs, respectively; the influence of different injection times on recovery is analyzed, and the best injection rate of PCA is determined. The result shows that the effect of compound ion PCA, anionic delay-action cross-linking PCA, and luminum citrate cross-linking PCA gets worse in turn. The effect of injecting PCA before polymer flooding is better than that of injecting it during and after the procedure. As the PCA rate increases, the recovery increment raises, but the increasing ranges decrease. The best rate of PCA is 0.10PV, considering technical and economic effects.

Under the constraints of high temperature and heterogeneity, the common profile control agent can not effectively plug the steam channeling. To address this issue, it is necessary to develop the high temperature resistance steam channeling plugging agent to improve the steam suction profile in the heavy oil reservoir. This paper used Simple Variable Method to optimize the content of the components of the high temperature resistant plugging agent. Static performances evaluation aims to study the influence rules of the formation condition (temperature, salinity and pH value). Dynamic evaluation is used to study its performance (plugging ratio, residual resistance factor, scouring resistance and thermal stability) in the sand-filled pipe to testify its applicability. The ratio of the component and the injection sequence are shown as follows: 0.03% coagulant +2.2% cross-linking agent I + 1.2% cross-linking II + 6% high efficient main agent. The evaluation experiment results show that the gel can resist at least 280ºC, the plugging ratio is above 93.1%. The plugging ratio only have a 8.43% reduction after scoured by 15 PV steam (280ºC). After a 10-day thermal stability experiment (280 ºC), the plugging ratio is still above 80%. The result indicated that the plugging agent is suitable for the improvement of steam suction profile. The suggested way of injection is also provided.

Abstract High levels of urea and creatinine in the blood are a sign of decreased kidney function. To remove these substances from the blood, hemodialysis which utilizes membranes could be used. In this study, a molecularly imprinted membrane (MIM) was synthesized for the selective transport of urea. The synthesis is initiated with the polymerization of eugenol into polyeugenol and then into polyeugenoxy acetate (PA). The PA is then contacted with urea and then used as the functional polymer in the synthesis of MIM with polysulfone as the membrane base, and polyethylene glycol as the cross-linking agent. The result was later analyzed with FTIR and SEM-EDX. The membrane is then used in the transport of urea, creatinine, and vitamin B12 and then compared with the non-imprinted membrane (NIM) performance. By using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, the results showed that the membrane with 10 h heating variation is able to transport more urea and is more selective than NIM; this proves that the urea template on the MIM enables it to recognize urea molecules better than creatinine and vitamin B12. The order of transport from the best results is urea > creatinine > vitamin B12.

A new copolymer of acrylamide (AM) and Isobutane-Ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) was synthesized as profile control agent by free radical copolymerization. The copolymer composition obtained by element analysis method led to determination of reactivity ratio by employing YBR calculative method. The result indicated that the reactivity ratios of AM and 2-EHA were 0.856and 0.592 respectively. The chain segment distribution of copolymer was investigated from reactivity ratio and the microstructure of copolymer molecule was analyzed. The results showed that the ratios in feed can hardly change the chain segment distribution. The proportion of 1M1 decreased with the increase of AM in feed. AM and 2-EHA had a tendency to alternate in copolymer chain when f1=0.286~0.375. The monomer which had a low ratio in feed inserted in copolymer chain with 1M chain segment and the other monomer was separated evenly. It can help to study copolymerization for AM and 2-EHA for industrial production in mass.

Asphalt profile control is an effective method, which can further improve oil recovery of reservoir polymer flooded, it has a lot of advantages including high strength profile control, seal strata formation efficiency, low cost and no pollution, but there has not a perfect evaluation system for its development mode. The effect of different concentration, injection rate, radius of profile control, the timing of profile and segment combination way on the oil displacement effect of the asphalt profile control were researched using numerical simulation method on actual typical well area in Daqing oilfield, and the mechanism of asphalt profile control was studied in detail. According to the results of laboratory test, the largest Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) of asphalt was obtained at injection concentration 4000 mg/L, and the best combination was “high–low–high” concentration slug mode. According to the results of numerical simulation, the best concentration, injection rate, radius of profile control and injection timing were 4000 mg/L, 0.15 PV/a (Pore Volume [PV], m3), 1/2 of well spacing and 96% water cut in single slug of asphalt injection system, when the injection condition was multiple slug, the “high–low–high” slug combination mode was the best injection mode. These results could provide effective development basis for asphalt profile control after polymer flooding in thick oil layers.

With the amount of injecting-polymer wells in Xingnan SS block of Daqing Oilfield increasing gradually, a lot of problems, such as the treatment and use of sewage flowed back from injecting-polymer wells, need to be solved. The concentrations of gelling agent, cross-linking agent, and regulators have been optimized by measuring gelling strength and gelling time. The additives about pH modifier and deoxidizer have been selected. As a result, the formula system of profile control using sewage flowed back from injecting-polymer wells has been formed, realizing reuse of sewage, reaching the goal of improving oil recovery. The research in this paper not only solves the problem of re-injecting sewage flowed back from injecting-polymer wells, making full use of resources, but saves costs, improving economic benefits.
