Figuring out the rule of remaining oil distribution after polymer flooding is the basis for continuing study on development policy after polymer flooding in Daqing Oil Field. Based on the basic principles of percolation mechanics, percolation mechanics of polymer flooding reservoirs under fixed injection pressure and injection rate was studied, the mechanism of remaining oil changes after polymer flooding was investigated; According to the numerical simulation results, the rule of remaining oil distribution in Daqing oilfield has been given out. This will be theoretical and practical guidance for enhancing oil recovery after polymer flooding.

Inefficient reserves in fault block belongs to low permeability thin interbed, thus water flooding development process has exposed many contradictions which are serious heterogeneity, large difference of suction of interlayer. Entering the water injection development, the injected water which rapidly advance along the high permeability channel causes water channeling and water flooding, which intenses development contradictions between layers. The reservoir numerical simulation technology on computer can reappear the movement of water and gas in the underground reservoir development process and describes the underground remaining oil distribution of inefficient reserves in complex fault block, which summarizes the remaining oil distribution rule of the water flooding development for complex fault block of inefficient reserves and provides basis for the establishment of oil field development adjustment scheme.

With the deepening exploitation percent, underground water relations have become more complex and tap the oil field at stable yields is more and more difficult, thus make us develop in depth study about the remaining oil distribution become critical. The proved geological reserve is high and physical property is better in 402 block’s group CIII of Tazhong 4 Oilfield. Combined with current mining situation in TZ402CIII oil group and in order to proven the distribution of the remaining oil, we used common reservoir engineering methods, neutron lifetime logging data analysis over the years and sweep efficiency analysis from sealed coring wells to study in-depth current remaining oil distribution range in TZ402CIII oil group, which provide an important basis to further improve development effect, dig remaining oil, as well as secondary development and adjust tap the potential in TZ402CIII oil group.

Surfactant–polymer (SP) flooding has significant potential to enhance oil recovery after water flooding in mature reservoirs. However, the economic benefit of the SP flooding process is unsatisfactory under low oil prices. Thus, it is necessary to reduce the chemical costs and improve SP flooding efficiency to make SP flooding more profitable. Our goal was to maximize the incremental oil recovery of the SP flooding process after water flooding by using the equal chemical consumption cost to ensure the economic viability of the SP flooding process. Thus, a systematic study was carried out to investigate the SP flooding process under different injection strategies by conducting parallel sand pack flooding experiments to optimize the SP flooding design. Then, the comparison of the remaining oil distribution after water flooding and SP flooding under different injection strategies was studied. The results demonstrate that the EOR efficiency of the SP flooding process under the alternating injection of polymer and surfactant–polymer (PASP) is higher than that of conventional simultaneous injection of surfactant and polymer. Moreover, as the alternating cycle increases, the incremental oil recovery increases. Based on the analysis of fractional flow, incremental oil recovery, and remaining oil distribution when compared with the conventional simultaneous injection of surfactant and polymer, the alternating injection of polymer and surfactant–polymer (PASP) showed better sweep efficiency improvement and recovered more remaining oil trapped in the low permeability zone. Thus, these findings could provide insights into designing the SP flooding process under low oil prices.

To gain a better understanding of the mechanism and technology of microbial enhanced oil recovery, microbial community structure and diversity of reservoirs after polymer flooding in Daqing oil field at the Earlier Stage of microbial profile modification were studied. 16S rDNA gene clone library was used to assess the structure and diversity of microbial community. The results showed that the dominant microbes of the earlier stage of microbial profile modification are uncultured bacterium, comprising 88.6% of library clones. The cultured strains are composed of Epsilonproteobacteria(5.7%) , Gammaproteobacteria(4.7%) and Firmicutes (1%). Among the Epsilonproteobacteria, Sulfuricurvum accounts for 4.7% of the cultured strains of library clones and Arcobacter accounts for 1%. Besides, the dominant communities also include Pseudomonas and Moorella.
