Abstract
Chinese water flooding heavy oil reserves are abundant and the output is increasing year by year, but the heavy oil water flooding recovery rate is low. It is of great significance to improve the heavy oil water flooding recovery rate to improve the development level of heavy oil reservoirs. This paper reviews heavy oil emulsified viscosity reduction technology, emulsified viscosity reduction theory, viscosity reducer flooding microscopic mechanism and structural characteristics of surfactants for heavy oil emulsified viscosity reduction. Meanwhile, the research focus of emulsified viscosity reducer in the future is put forward.
