Effect Evaluation and Action Mechanism Analysis of "Profile Control + Plugging Removal" after Chemical Flooding.

Abstract

The existing plugging removal operation in JZ9-3 oilfield has the disadvantages of small amount of plugging remover, fast injection speed, and short construction time. Under the condition of injection well suction profile reversal, plugging remover is difficult to enter the low permeability part and play the role of deep plugging removal. In order to improve the plugging removal effect, this paper used the physical simulation method to carry out the experimental study and mechanism analysis on the effect of water flooding, chemical flooding, and plugging removal measures of the multi-layer system combination model. The results showed that the recovery of general plugging removal after chemical flooding increases by only 0.70%, while the recovery of ‘profile control + plugging removal’ increases by ‘9.34% + 2.59%’, and the amount of produced liquid decreases by more than 40%. It can be seen that the combined operation of profile control and plugging removal has dual effects of plugging and dredging and synergistic effect, which not only expands the swept volume, but also reduces the inefficient and ineffective cycles. On this basis, the optimization design and effect prediction of the target well W4-2 plugging removal scheme were carried out by using the numerical simulation method. Recommended scheme: inorganic gel profile control agent volume 13,243.6 m3, produced by the main agent (Na2O·nSiO2), isolation fluid (Water), and auxiliary agent (CaCl2) through multiple rounds of alternating injection into the reservoir. The plug removal agent (K2S2O8) injection volume is 100 m3, the concentration is 0.8%. The post-implementation ‘Output/Input’ ratio is expected to be 3.7.
