Yanmuxi reservoir in Tuha shows low rock cementation, strong reservoir heterogeneity and high salinity of injected water.Long term water injection development has formed an advantage channel, and the existing technology is difficult to meet the technical requirements of deep liquid flow diversion.The compatibility of inorganic gel and surfactant was studied based on the reservoir geological and fluid characteristics of the target reservoir.The results showed that nonionic surfactant (DWS) solution had good salt resistance property.Inorganic gel (calcium silicate or magnesium silicate) has little effect on DWS solution,indicating that the displacement effect during alternate injection process and profile control will not be affected too much.When surfactant emulsifies with crude oil,"Jiamin effect" can produce additional seepage resistance and liquid flow diversion effect,so the recovery rate increases greatly.In the three combinations of inorganic gels,surfactants and nitrogen,the "inorganic gel+surfactant solution+gas" alternate injection mode exhibits higher injection pressure, and superior liquid flow diverting and expanding the volume effect.
