Article Synopsis
- The LD oilfield shows improved recovery rates after weak gel flooding, but the distribution of remaining oil becomes complicated during high-water content stages.
- Researchers conducted experiments using online NMR and microscopic techniques to better understand weak gel flooding effects and the remaining oil distribution.
- Results indicated that weak gel flooding significantly enhances oil mobilization in porous media, leading to higher recovery efficiencies of 71.85% at 500 mD and 80.69% at 1500 mD compared to traditional methods.
This work focuses on the development of a novel high-temperature microemulsion for enhanced oil recovery in tight oil reservoirs. Microemulsions are a type of mixture that has properties of both liquids and solids; they have shown significant potential for improving oil recovery through spontaneous imbibition. Herein, a high-temperature-tolerant lower-phase microemulsion using a microemulsion dilution method was developed.
