  • Combined with synchronized monitoring techniques, purification processes for active constituent of alkylbenzene sulfonate have been optimized, and the total alkylbenzene sulfonate, mono-alkylbenzene sulfonate and di-alkylbenzene sulfonate can be obtained with purity over 90%. With the above active constituents as standard substances respectively, the determination of alkylbenzene sulfonate content in the original samples was carried out by high performance liquid chromatograph. The results showed the sample contained mono- and di-alkylbenzene sulfonate simultaneously, and the content of mono-alkylbenzene sulfonate was much higher than that of di-alkylbenzene sulfonate. They had maximum absorption at the wavelength of 224 nm, and the absorption coefficients of total alkylbenzene sulfonate and mono-alkylbenzene sulfonate were similar, higher than that of di-alkylbenzene sulfonate. With total, mono- and di-alkylbenzene sulfonate as standard substances respectively, the limits of quantitation were 5 mg/L, 5 mg/L and 10 mg/L, respectively. The determination result of active constituent was about 3% lower with total alkylbenzene sulfonate as standard substance than that with mono- and di-alkylbenzene sulfonate as standard substances simultaneously, owing to the weaker absorption coefficient of di-alkylbenzene sulfonate.

  • According to the mechanism of associative polymers forming large-size congeries through association of hydrophobic side chains, the association degree of the associated polymer was controlled using β-cyclodextrin with the amphiphilic structure, and the association degree of the associating polymer in porous media was indirectly calculated by the viscosity of polymer solution. Viscosity was used for evaluation of association degree of polymer in porous media indirectly. The paper provided a detailed experimental study of association behavior in porous media, including effect of β-cyclodextrin concentration on the polymer viscosity, congeries form, and association degree under different permeability. The results showed that β-cyclodextrin was only wrapped on the hydrophobic side chains of the associative polymer, but had no effect on the molecular backbone of associative polymer and the molecular structure of linear polymer. The contribution rate of association viscosity to apparent viscosity was more than 94%. The association degree of associative polymer in the porous medium increased with the increase of the permeability. The size of the aggregates formed by the association polymer was more compatible with the pore size of the core due to the presence of the association. The degree of association of the polymer in the core with permeability below 4 000 × 10-3 μm2 was less than 10%.

  • In order to evaluate the influence of the construction parameters of the plugging agent on the plugging removal effect, the plugging sequence and the displacement optimization of the polymer flooding wells were studied with the plugging removal rate as the evaluation index. The core experiment was carried out through the displacement of injection plugging agent and the injection order of three main chemicals, and the best construction parameters (including the best displacement and the injection sequence) were obtained. Experimental results showed that polymer injection well plugging agent were higher than 70% by changing injection order of chemical. When the organic scale corrosion agent, polymer degradation agent and solid blocking agent were injected sequentially, the plugging removal rate was the highest, and the plugging removal effect was better than other injection combinations. For the permeability of core 300 mD, when the displacement of plugging agent is larger than 0.1 mL/min, the displacement had little influence on the plugging removal effect, and the blockage removal rate was above 90%. In order to speed up the construction schedule and shorten the cycle, large displacement injection should be used. when the core permeability is 100 mD, plugging rate was less than 90%. With the increase of displacement, the rate of plug removal decreased. In order to achieve good plugging removal effect, it was advisable to choose the lower injection displacement. The higher the permeability, the better the final solution. The plugging effect of polymer flooding can be further improved by optimizing the injection sequence and displacement of the plugging agent, which can provide the basis for improving the quality of plug removal.
