The Slug Design of Multi-Slug and Equi-Fluidity Oil Displacement with Binary Flooding

Abstract

This paper optimizes the design of the nature of each slug and the combination of slugs through theoretical calculations and laboratory experiments, which is the key to tremendously enhance the oil recovery with the oil-displacing method of multiple multi-slug combinations. When oil-displacing experiments with multiple multi-slug combinations are conducted on heterogeneous cores in the laboratory, it is necessary that each injected slug be designed rationally in their viscosity, volume, etc., with the view to guarantee the synchronous equi-fluidity mobility of each slug after water flooding. With the synergistic effect of a variety of oil-displacing agents, the remaining oil in each permeability layer can be dug, driven by overall piston.
