Surfactant-based oil recovery processes are employed to lower the interfacial tension in immiscible displacement processes,change the wettability of rock to a more water-wet system and emulsify the oil to displace it ...Surfactant-based oil recovery processes are employed to lower the interfacial tension in immiscible displacement processes,change the wettability of rock to a more water-wet system and emulsify the oil to displace it in subsurface porous media.Furthermore,these phenomena can reduce the capillary pressure and enhance spontaneous imbibition.The key factors affecting such immiscible displacement process are temperature,salinity and p H of the fluids,surfactant concentration and adsorption.Therefore,before any surfactant flooding process is applied,extensive studies of fluid-fluid and rock-fluid interactions are needed.The use of other chemicals along with surfactants in chemical enhanced oil recovery(c EOR)processes have been widely considered to exploit the synergy of individual chemicals and complement the weakness arises from each of them during immiscible displacement of fluids in porous media.Therefore,such combinations of chemicals lead to alkaline-surfactant(AS),surfactantpolymer(SP),alkaline-surfactant-polymer(ASP),and nanoparticle-surfactant(NS)flooding processes,among others.In this review study,we categorised the role and displacement mechanisms of surfactants and discussed the key factors to be considered for analysing the fluid displacement in porous media.展开更多
文摘通过分析三元复合驱油体系下硅垢的形成机理,设计合成了新型硅防垢剂SY-KD.SY-KD是由丙烯酸(AA)和对甲基烯丙基氧基苯磺酸(MBS)共聚形成的高分子(CAABS)与2-膦酸丁烷-1,2,4-三羧酸(PBTC)复配的混合物.SY-KD中羧基官能团通过氢键相互作用与原硅酸分子或其二聚体发生键合,由于SY-KD分子链的空间位阻效应,阻止了原硅酸分子或二聚体进一步聚合形成二氧化硅.室内研究结果表明,SY-KD各组分对于硅垢的阻垢能力主要是通过阻聚、吸附分散以及对不溶性SiO2的溶蚀作用来实现的,是一种很好的三元复合驱阻垢剂.SY-KD防垢剂使结垢油井平均检泵周期由50 d左右增加到300 d.
