Ji Bingyu, Wang Youqi, Nie Jun, et al. Research progress and application of EOR techniques in SINOPEC[J]. 2016, 37(4): 572-576.DOI: 10.11743/ogg20160414.
This paper introduced the research progress and application of the EOR techniques such as chemical flooding
heavy oil thermal recovery
gas flooding and microbial flooding
summarized the application conditions
application results and existing problems for various techniques
and disscussed the direction of the large-scale application of EOR techniques for SINOPEC.The results show that chemical flooding has become the predominant EOR technology EOR projects of SINOPEC are under.Polymer and SP flooding techniques are mature and complete in supporting technologies
and have been put into industrial application technologies in China
with well developed relating techniques
and in the phase of industrialization.Heterogeneous Post-polymer flooding test of non-homogeneous composite flooding technique has been test successfully carried out in the 1
st
Block of central Gudao
Shengli oilfield
and after polymer flooding which can be expected to enhanced oil recovery of 7.3% is expected.Among heavy oil thermal recovery techniques
thermochemical puff
&
huff
well pattern infilling and thermal recovery of conventional heavy oil techniques are in the process of generalization and application have had large scale field applications
while steam injection and thermochemical steam injection techniques are still under research.SINOPEC is currently carrying out pilots for gas flooding and microbial flooding which can be expected to with the expectation of enhanced oil recovery increase.The focuses of SINOPEC's industrial application of EOR techniques in the future are displacing agent or displacing system capable of being adapted to harsh reservoir conditions
mobility control technique and combined application of mature technologies.
