Study on the variation of rock pore structure after polymer gel flooding

Abstract: Polymer gels have received an increasing attention as profile control agents in the heterogeneous reservoir water-flooded layers. The article focus on the profile control mechanism of polymer gels by plugging macropore. The micro-structures of polymer gel and pore were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And the core displacement equipment was used to evaluate the properties of plugging properties. The variation of pore structure is measured by SEM, mercury intrusion meter and nuclear magnetic resonance instrument. Investigation results show that the molecules form a network structure with many dense layers after 15 days of cross-linking reaction, which results in the increase of the viscosity of the system from 15.3 to 6325 mPa‧s. After the polymer gel forms a micelle at the middle end of the core and blocks the pores, the plugging rate of the core reaches 99.2%. The results obtained in this paper reveal the mechanism of plugging characteristics of polymer gels, and further prove the great potential of polymer gels to enhance oil recovery in oilfields.
