  • Publication number: 20230366869
    Abstract: A Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Deviation theory-based method is provided to prepare representative degassed oil with equivalent minimum miscible pressure to live oil. The method can reduce the number of trial and error type experiments during the representative degassed oil preparation process by measuring the MMP and EACN for dead and live oil. The representative degassed oil formulation could be easily predicted after determining the required MMP and EACN values. The prepared oil can reflect the key mechanism of multiple contact miscible mechanism in the process of gas flooding more accurately. It allows experiments that are inconvenient to use live oil to consider the mechanism of multiple contact miscibility easily.

  • Patent number: 11459880
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for evaluating the difference in gas injection effect of gas injection wells in a carbonate reservoir, aiming at solving the problem that the difference in effect characters of gas injection wells cannot be systematically evaluated in the prior art, and realizing the purposes of systematically and completely evaluating the difference in gas injection effect in the carbonate reservoir and finding out the reason of low efficiency. By means of the invention, reasons for low gas injection efficiency corresponding to different geological classifications are obtained, systematic classification and induction are carried out on the difference in gas injection effect, and gas injection effects are effectively evaluated, so that a sufficient gas injection scheme design basis is provided for subsequent development and production increase, and a significant guiding principle is provided for later-stage gas injection and production increase of the carbonate reservoir.

  • Patent number: 10364184
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a big-model low-permeability microcrack core includes: (1) determining the size of a microcrack core to be manufactured; (2) placing stones in a baking oven to bake for 24h under 120° C., placing the stones into a mixer, mixing and spraying oil, enabling the oil to seep into the stone, evenly forming a thin oil film on stone's surface; (3) mixing the oil sprayed stone with quartz sand and cement, adding water to mix evenly to obtain cement paste; (4) spreading butter on core mold's inner surface to form a thin butter film, pouring the cement paste into the core mold to obtain a cement sample; (5) loading confining pressure outside the core according to the requirements of porosity and permeability of the mold to adjust a pore permeability value; (6) obtaining the big-model core with microcrack after the cement sample is dried and formed.
