Abstract: In order to clarify the response characteristics of gas-water alternate flooding with CO2 after water flooding in ultra-low permeability reservoirs, the research on dynamic characteristics of gas-water alternate flooding with CO2 was carried out. In the research, through the combination of dynamic and static methods, the dynamic data obtained by physical simulation experiments and the static data of CO2 solubility in oil-water solution measured in high-temperature and high-pressure phase system were used. The results show that appropriately increasing the gas-oil ratio during the CO2 flooding process can produce oil and gas to dissolve CO2, forming a single-phase oil zone under reservoir conditions, and the contribution rate of this stage to the oil displacement effect is 71.98%. It is suggested to appropriately increase the size of the CO2 slug in the first cycle when designing the reservoir plan, and to select the critical point of gas channeling to inject water, which can effectively increase the utilization rate of CO2 and improve the oil displacement effect. The research results have a certain guiding significance for the optimization of injection parameters for gas-water alternate flooding.
