Abstract:
Due to its high viscosity, heavy oil reservoirs with edge/bottom water often have a low recovery ratio due to its high oil-to-water flow ratio and rapidly rising water cut of single wells. By exploring the microbial composite nitrogen stimulation process in heavy oil reservoirs with edge/bottom water, it aims to expand the working radius of microorganisms and improve their contact and efficiency with residual oil, so as to increase single-well production. First of all, a microbial composite stimulation system of hydrophilic emulsification viscosity reduction and wetting oil washing system is set up, with a 27.5mN/m surface tension on the 0.3% composite system, 91.3% oil washing efficiency, and 83.7% viscosity reduction rate of crude oil. This system has certain foaming property when in composite with nitrogen. The composite injection process of nitrogen into microbial system is optimized through a one-dimensional physical simulation experiment, with the gas-liquid ratio at 2, the injection concentration at 0.3%, and the period of well stewing for 10 days. After testing the microbial nitrogen composite stimulation process on six wells in a weak edge/bottom water reservoir, it’s found that the average water content is reduced by over 10%, and oil output goes up by 8,494t, achieving sound field testing effects.
