Experiment of Driving Oil by Low Frequency Hydraulic Pulse of Low Permeability Reservoirs

Abstract

The fine grain, poor sorting and high cement content in low permeability reservoirs lead to poor reservoir property, low porosity and permeability and have strong damage to the reservoir .The conventional way of low permeability oil mining is mainly fracture and chemical flooding, which cost is relatively high and will cause serious irreparable damage to formation. People are in favor of physical oil production technology because it is no harm and pollution to the reservoir, more flexible to operate and it has wide range of application and low cost. By using high frequency pulse pressure servo system and ZC-type I, this paper examines the low-frequency vibration oil recovery indoor simulation test device hydraulic pulse oil displacement effect of low permeability cores. The experiment selecting the artificial core (permeability are less than 50), examines the effects of different hydraulic pulse parameters (frequency, static pressure and dynamic pressure) on low permeability core permeability and recovery factor. The results showed that only when the three parameter ,hydraulic pulse frequency, static pressure and dynamic pressure, suitably combined will greatly increase the reservoir recovery efficiency and reduce residual oil saturation.
