In order to apply the technique of polymer flooding to the offshore oilfield, some contraventions (the large well spacing, the high salinity formation water, the narrow production platform space, the limited load capacity, the slow dissolution of hydrophobically associating polymer, the voluminous existing polymer injection equipment) must be faced. In order to resolve the problems, a study on the efficient polymer dissolving technology for hydrophobically associating polymer flooding on offshore platform was conducted. The principle of polymer rapid dissolution was analyzed on its restrictive factors. By comprehensive utilization of multi-disciplinary angle of studying from polymer materials, fluid mechanics, et al, the efficient polymer dissolving technology was formed by means of compulsory stretching and water logging for polymer molecular chains, and break through the "bottlenecks" of polymer rapid dissolution. The designed dispersing & dissolving equipment cut down the polymer dissolution time from 60 min to 40 min. Meanwhile, the auto-unloading device, metering device, curing system, injection system, and automatic control system were optimized. Compared with the original equipment, the novel one’s occupied area and operating weight decreased by 21% and 37%, respectively. The efficient injection allocation technology was applied to the polymer flooding pilot testing in Bohai bay so as to provide key technology and equipment support for cumulative incremental oil 395×104 m3 (up to June, 2014), incremental output value 12 billion yuan (estimated by the barrel oil price $90).

Abstract The fundamental cause of the proppant suspension behavior in hydraulic fracturing fluids lies in its internal microcosmic network structure and structural strength. In addition to chemical crosslinking, another method to form a network structure is established in this paper. Hydrophobically associating polyacrylamide and an anionic surfactant self-assembly process was applied to form a network structure. Compared with crosslinked hydroxypropyl guar gel, the new fracturing fluid even has better proppant suspending properties in static conditions. The capability does not result from crosslinkage but from reinforced physical associations between chains. The performance of this new fracturing fluid was tested and the results showed that it can fully satisfy the requirement of fracturing fluid. Field test shows excellent stimulation effects during its applications in 400 wells in eight oilfields in China.
