中文摘要 | Chemical flooding in the petroleum industry has a larger scale of oil recovery efficiency than water flooding. On the other hand, it is far more technical, costly, and risky. Numerical reservoir simulation can be employed to conduct mechanism study, feasibility evaluation, pilot plan optimization, and performance prediction for chemical flooding to improve recovery efficiency and reduce operational costs. In this article, we study numerical simulation of chemical flooding such as alkaline, surfactant, polymer, and foam (ASP+foam) flooding. The main displacement mechanisms in this type of flooding are interfacial tension lowering, capillary desaturation, chemical synergetic effects, and mobility control. The model of chemical flooding involves such physicochemical phenomena as dispersion, diffusion, adsorption, chemical reactions, and in situ generation of surfactant from acidic crude oil. The numerical simulator is based on a sequential solution approach that solves both pressure and compositions implicitly, and is applied to three experiments, a chemical flow without mass transfer between phases, a laboratory sandstone core, and an ASP+foam displacement problem with mass transfer, and to a real oilfield. A comparison with UTCHEM is also performed. These applications and comparison indicate that this numerical simulator is practical, efficient, and accurate for simulating complex chemical flooding processes. |
