Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of oilfield chemistry and specifically relates to a zirconium gel particle combination flooding system. The zirconium gel particle combination flooding system comprises multi-scale 1 zirconium gel particles, polyether nonionic surfactant, and water as mixing liquid; the weight percentage of multi-scale zirconium gel particles in the combination flooding system ranges from 0.16% to 0.24%; the weight percentage of polyether nonionic surfactant in the combination flooding system ranges from 0.1% to 0.4%; the rest is water, and the sum of the weight percentage of the each component is 100%. The multi-scale zirconium gel particles and polyether nonionic surfactant of the present invention perform good synergistic effect, which reduces the oil/water interfacial tension to the order of magnitude of 10−3 mN/m, significantly improves the displacing efficiency of the flooding agent, avoids the adverse effects caused by polymer viscosity loss in binary combination flooding or ternary combination flooding and the adverse effects caused by alkalis, as well as improves the flooding performance of the combination flooding system.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A flooding method, comprising the following steps:
a) injecting a prepositive pretreatment plug into stratum, the injection volume of which ranges from 0.1% to 1.0% of the formation porous volume; the prepositive pretreatment plug is an aqueous solution of a polyether nonionic surfactant, the weight percentage of the polyether nonionic surfactant in the aqueous solution ranges from 0.1% to 0.4%;
b) injecting a main plug into stratum, the injection volume of which ranges from 30% to 50% of the formation porous volume;
wherein the said main plug is a zirconium gel particle combination flooding system;

wherein the zirconium gel particle combination flooding system comprises: multi-scale zirconium gel particles, polyether nonionic surfactant and water; wherein the weight percentage of multi-scale zirconium gel particles in the combination flooding system ranges from 0.16% to 0.24%; the weight percentage of polyether nonionic surfactant in the combination flooding system ranges from 0.1% to 0.4%; and the remainder is water;
c) injecting a postpositive protective plug into stratum, the injection volume of which ranges from 0.1% to 1.0% of the formation porous volume; the postpositive protective plug is an aqueous solution of nano-scale, micron-scale or millimeter-scale zirconium gel particles, the weight percentage of zirconium gel particles in the aqueous solution ranges from 0.16% to 0.24%;
d) shutting in the well for five to ten days; and
e) starting up the well to reproduce,

wherein a formula of polyether nonionic surfactant is as follows:

in the formula, R represents C 8 -C 13 alky; n represents the total number of ethoxy groups, n=2-4; m represents the total number of propoxy groups, m=1, 2; wherein n and m are integers.
