Research of Surfactant-polymer Flooding Response Characteristic and Mobility Optimization of J Oilfield in Bohai Bay

Abstract

Surfactant-polymer flooding technology which used in J oilfield is still the first time in Bohai bay, the reference materials are very seldom for its response characteristic and project optimization. Since there’s no blank water flooding stage between polymer flooding and surfactant-polymer flooding in J oilfield, it’s difficult to accurately judge the response characteristic of production wells and injection wells by the conventional method; on the other side, as surfactant-polymer flooding gradually entered the end stage, the effect of decrease water and increase oil became worse, there’s urgently need to improve the effect of chemical flooding. Thus, the research of response characteristic and mobility optimization are conducted in this article. The water cut funnel method is used for the first time to recognize the response of the production wells in J oilfield, and to use the Hall curve method to recognize the response of the injection wells. Meanwhile, based on the idea of mobility control, the minimum polymer concentration which is needed to control the mobility of surfactant-polymer flooding is studied, and establish the mobility control template, the effect of the surfactant-polymer flooding is improved effectively by use of the template to guide the optimization of the polymer concentration, and daily production increase about 15% of J oilfield. The research can be used to guide and refer to other similar offshore oilfield development.
