Description
Summary:Soft Microgel (SMG) used to enhance oilfield recovery is a kind of aqueous dispersion chemical agent system of microgel particles. It is usually used in medium and low permeability reservoirs and is generally not used for plugging large pores of reservoirs due to the limitation of particle size. To resolve the problem that SMG cannot effectively block large pores of the reservoir, the multi-functional system (SMG-w) can be synthesized by introducing inorganic components into SMG under special conditions. The main physical and chemical properties of SMG-w are carried out in the laboratory. The results of the study show that SMG-w has an excellent resistant ability to temperature and salinity. Besides, it can also decrease the interfacial tension of oil and water. What’s more, it can react with Ca 2+ or Mg 2+ in formation water from a large number of flocs in the high salinity reservoir, which can enhance physical and chemical properties of SMG-w and make it be applied in deep profile control of high permeability reservoirs with high temperature and high salinity.
