Abstract
In this paper, laboratory experiment and numerical simulation methods show that: (1) For reservoir formations with different permeability, there exists an optimal molecular weight for injection, and as the permeability increases, the optimal molecular weight gradually increases; (2) Inaccessible pore volume is too large, the polymer solution to reduce the volume; Inaccessible pore volume is too small, the polymer adsorption loss increases, affecting the polymer flooding effect. Therefore, there is an optimal value for the inaccessible pore volume; (3) At different times into polymer flooding, the optimal inaccessible pore volume will change, and the later the transfer time, the best access to the larger inaccessible pore volume. For example, the optimal unobtainable pore volume at 90% water injection is 0.4, while the optimal inaccessible pore volume at 30% aqueous transfer is 0.3.
