    摘要: Disclosed is a method for conducting an enhanced oil recovery process comprising injecting an oil displacing fluid into an injection well and recovering petroleum displaced by the fluid from one or more spaced-apart production wells, by an improved method in which the sweep efficiency or horizontal conformance of the displacement process is increased. A fluid is injected into the producing well, which fluid has a viscosity not substantially greater than the viscosity of water at the conditions of injection, but which reacts with oil present in the formation, forming a viscous emulsion which restricts the flow of fluids through the portion of the formation contacted by the emulsion-forming fluid. As a result of this treatment, there is a reduction in tendency for the displaced and injected fluids to form cusps as they approach the production well, thereby failing to sweep substantial portions of the formation. The injected fluid contains one or more surfactants specifically tailored to form a viscous emulsion with the particular formation crude oil and formation water or brine exhibiting maximum viscosity at formation conditions. The viscous emulsion-forming fluid may be injected into all of a group of wells surrounding a central injection well in approximately equal amounts, for the purpose of improving sweep efficiency, or the treatment may be selectively applied to certain of the wells where the formation exhibits a preferred direction of permeability, or where for other reasons the pattern integrity is poor.

    摘要: The conformance of an enhanced oil recovery process, including waterflood, surfactant or other chemicalized water flood process, in a formation containing at least two strata or zones of varying permeability, the permeability of one zone being at least 50 percent greater than the permeability of the other zone, is improved by flooding until the higher permeability zone has been depleted, after which an aqueous fluid is injected into the high permeability zone, said fluid having relatively low viscosity at the time of injection and containing a blend of surface active agents which promote the formation of a coarse viscous emulsion in the flow channels of the formation which reduces the permeability of the high permeability zone. After the permeability of the first zone has been reduced substantially, flooding may then be accomplished in the second zone which was originally not invaded by the injected oil recovery fluid. The surface active agents are individually tailored and the ratio of dissimilar surfactants balanced to exhibit optimum viscous emulsion formation properties. The optimum emulsifying surfactant comprises a mixture of an organic sulfonate such as petroleum sulfonate and a solubilizing co-surfactant such as an alkyl or alkylarylpolyalkoxy alkylene sulfonate and/or a low molecular weight alcohol.

After the permeability of the first zone has been reduced substantially, water flooding may then be accomplished in the second zone which was originally not invaded by the injected water since its permeability was substantially less than the permeability of the first zone.

    摘要: Disclosed is a surfactant waterflooding oil recovery process for use in high salinity water-containing formations employing two separate surfactant-containing slugs or a single slug in which the composition is changed from the first to the last portion of the slug injected into the formation. The first portion of the surfactant fluid contains a surfactant combination which exhibits optimum low surface tension characteristics, and the second or latter portion of the surfactant slug contains a blend of surfactants which produces a high viscosity fluid. Use of hydrophilic viscosity-increasing polymer is thus avoided, eliminating the interaction between polymer and surfactant which causes a reduction in surfactant effectiveness.

    摘要: A process for producing petroleum from subterranean formations is disclosed wherein production from the formation is obtained by driving a fluid from an injection well to a production well. The process involves injecting into the formation via the injection well an aqueous solution of ethoxylated asphalts as a sacrificial agent to inhibit the deposition of surfactant and/or polymer on the reservoir matrix. Normally the process would be carried out by first injecting the ethoxylated asphalts into the formation through the injection well and following them with either a polymer or a surfactant solution. The polymer and/or surfactant would then be followed by a drive fluid such as water to push the chemicals to the production well.
