Study on profile control ability of polymer microspheres to heterogeneous formation
The morphology and rheological properties of polymer microspheres PM1 were evaluated by optical microscope and rheometer. The effects of injection rate and concentration of microsphere system on the migration and plugging properties in porous media as well as the profile control ability of polymer microspheres to heterogeneous formation were investigated respectively by single core and parallel cores flooding experiments. The results showed that the microspheres had a high degree of sphericity with micro scale and its apparent viscosity was close to water at a relative high shear rate. The plugging ability of microspheres to pore throats increased with the decrease of seepage velocity or the increase of mass concentration. The microspheres had strong profile control ability to heterogeneous formation. If the measures that relative water absorption of low permeable core after profile control and oil displacement was greater than or equal to 35 % could be deemed to be appropriate
the upper limit of the permeability contrast
corresponding to which the microspheres could effectively improve the reservoir heterogeneity
would be about 20. For some strongly heterogeneous reservoirs existing fractures or large pores
the combined technique of profile control and flooding about alternating slugs of large-scale and micro-scale microspheres could be considered preferentially.
