Abstract:
In order to provide clarity in the microscopic oil displacement mechanisms of tight reservoirs displaced by different gas injection media, core displacement experiments of N
2 and CO
2 injection were carried out respectively based on the principle of NMR
T2 spectrum test. The microscopic displacement mechanisms of N
2 immiscible flooding and CO
2 miscible flooding were studied at the microscopic pore scale, and the oil production from pores with different pore sizes during displacement was evaluated. The results show that final recovery percent from N
2 immiscible flooding and CO
2 miscible flooding has little difference. The N
2 flooding process can be divided into three stages: the non-breakthrough stage, the early breakthrough stage and the mid-late breakthrough stage. The recovery percent from small pores is higher than that from large pores. However, the oil recovery percent from large pores is greatly improved in CO
2 miscible flooding, while it is relatively low from small pores. The distribution of microscopic pore structure is the main cause for the difference in recovery percent between large and small pores in the process of N
2 and CO
2 flooding. The results show that the development effect of N
2 flooding in tight reservoirs is better than that of CO
2 flooding, which provides a theoretical basis for the development of Chang 6 reservoir by N
2 flooding in Ansai Oilfield .
