LIU Shuangxing, PENG Bo, LIU Qi, et al. Study on impact of particle size of CO2 foam system for flooding on its performance[J]. Petroleum Reservoir Evaluation and Development, 2020, 10(3): 33-38.DOI:
is widely used as a displacement agent in oil displacement because of its unique physical properties and its chemical reaction with crude oil. But pure CO
2
gas flooding is prone to gas channeling. So the application of CO
2
in the foam flooding process make CO
2
can not only play its own role in oil displacement
but also realize fluidity control and reduce the possibility of gas channeling. In this study
the stability
particle size change and percolation characteristics of CO
2
foam with different particle sizes and the same chemical composition are experimentally studied
the change rule of the influence of particle size on foam performance is obtained
and the influence mode is anal
yzed and discussed. The results show that the smaller the bubble size
the better the stability of the foam system
the stronger the blocking ability
and the slower the particle size changes over time. Changing the preparation method to reduce the particle size of the foam system can effectively improve the foam’s stability and EOR capacity.
