Abstract:

In order to determine CO2 flooding and storage mechanisms in the ultra-low permeability reservoir in Jiyuan oilfield, long core experiments were performed to understand the performance of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and CO2 storage under different flooding techniques. The results show that the CO2-water alternating injection after water flooding yields the highest recovery factor, followed by CO2-water alternating flooding, while continuous CO2 injection exhibits the lowest recovery factor. CO2 breakthrough is a crucial factor influencing recovery factor, and alternating injection can suppress gas channeling. CO2 is dominantly stored in the large pores of the reservoir, and the CO2-water alternating flooding is more conducive to CO2 storage in the small pores than pure CO2 flooding. Continuous CO2 injection, CO2-water alternating flooding, CO2-water alternating injection after water flooding, and CO2 injection after water flooding exhibit a descending order in CO2 storage efficiency.

Key words: Jiyuan oilfield, ultra-low permeability reservoir, CO2 flooding, CO2-water alternating flooding, recovery factor, CO2 storage, core experiment, NMR
