文章摘要
Abstract: Micro-scale and nano-scale dispersed gel particles (DPG) are capable of deep migration in oil reservoirs due to their deformability, viscoelasticity, and suitable particle size. Therefore, it has been widely studied and applied in reservoir conformance control in recent years. However, for highly permeable channels, their plugging performance is still limited. In addition, conventional in situ cross-linked polymer gels (ISCPGs) have fast gelation time under extremely high-temperature conditions, which often causes problems such as difficulty in pumping. Therefore, a re-crosslinkable dispersed particle gel (RDPG) system applied for conformance control in highly permeable channels of extremely high-temperature petroleum reservoirs was investigated. The particle size distribution, gelation time, gel strength, injection performance, and performance strength in porous media were investigated using a laser particle size meter, the Sydansk bottle test method, rheometer, and core displacement experiments, respectively. Results show that the RDPG suspension can be stable for more than 6 months at room temperature with storage modulus G′ much lower than 10 Pa. It can pass through the pore throat by elastic deformation effect and does not cause strong blockage. Moreover, it can undergo re-crosslinking reaction at 150 °C to form a strong bulk gel. The gel strength G′ of re-crosslinked RDPG can be as high as 69.3 Pa, which meets the strength requirement of conformance control. The RDPG suspension has the properties of easy injection, and it also has strong plugging, and high-temperature resistance after re-crosslinked in the core, which can be a very promising material for conformance improvement in extremely high-temperature reservoirs.
