摘要: 新疆L-9油藏是具有边底水的薄层砂岩普通稠油油藏,受边底水及CaCl2水型的影响,常规的化学驱体系并不适用。针对该问题,开展了空气辅助微生物驱提高采收率现场试验。试验过程中,为了抑制底水锥进及高渗通道水窜,扩大微生物驱波及体积,利用油藏精细地质建模、示踪剂监测数值模拟技术识别了水流优势通道,证实了水窜通道两侧剩余油饱和度高,评价了以生物多糖为主的稠化营养激活体系与现场回注污水和地层水的兼容性、体系对主要采油功能菌的激活效果及激活过程中微生物群落结构的变化规律。结果表明:未添加激活剂的稠化营养体系表现出较高的黏度和稳定性,岩心封堵率可达93.1%,提高采收率15.5个百分点;在添加激活剂后,采油功能基因及总菌浓度增加了1~2个数量级,促进了稠化体系的降解;注入稠化营养激活体系后,高渗通道得到有效封堵,增油降水效果良好。该研究对高含水期稠油油藏微生物驱过程中配套调控具有指导意义。

Abstract: The L-9 Reservoir in Xinjiang is a thin-layer sandstone ordinary heavy oil reservoir with edge and bottom water. Due to the influence of edge/bottom water and CaCl2 water type, conventional chemical flooding systems are not applicable. To address this, a field test of air-assisted microbial flooding was carried out for enhanced oil recovery. During the test, to curb bottom-water coning and water channeling in high-permeability channels, and to expand the sweep volume of microbial flooding, reservoir fine geological modeling, and tracer monitoring numerical simulation techniques were used to identify preferential migration pathways. It was found that the remaining oil saturation was high on both sides of these pathways. Then, the compatibility of the thickening nutrient activation system (mainly bio-polysaccharides) with the reinjected wastewater on site and formation water was assessed. Also, the activation effect of the system on major oil-producing bacteria and the rule of changes in microbial community structure during activation were studied. The results show that The thickening nutrient activation system without additives shows high viscosity and stability, with a core plugging rate of 93.1% and an enhanced oil recovery of 15.5 percentage points. After adding the activator, the concentration of oil-producing function genes and total bacteria increased by 1-2 orders of magnitude, promoting the degradation of the thickening system. After injecting the thickening nutrient activation system, high-permeability channels were effectively blocked, achieving good oil-increase and water-reduction effects. This research offers useful guidance for the regulation of microbial flooding in heavy-oil reservoirs during the high-water-cut period.
