摘要：

Considering the characteristics of carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East, a low-viscosity microemulsion acid that can be prepared on site and has an appropriate retardation ability was developed. It was compared with four conventional acid systems (hydrochloric acid, gelled acid, emulsified acid and surfactant acid) through experiments of rotating disk, multistage acid fracturing and core flooding with CT scanning. The micro-etching characteristics and conductivity of fracture surfaces were clarified, and the variation of saturation field during water invasion and flowback of spent acid and the recovery of oil phase relative permeability were quantitatively evaluated. The study shows that the addition of negatively charged agent to the oil core of microemulsion acid can enhance its adsorption capacity on the limestone surface and significantly reduce the H+ mass transfer rate. Moreover, the negatively charged oil core is immiscible with the Ca2 + salt, so that the microemulsion acid can keep an overall structure not be damaged by Ca2 + salt generated during reaction, with adjustable adsorption capacity and stable microemulsion structure. With high vertical permeability along the fracture walls, the microemulsion acid can penetrate into deep fracture wall to form network etching, which helps greatly improve the permeability of reservoirs around the fractures and keep a high conductivity under a high closure pressure. The spent microemulsion acid is miscible with crude oil to form microemulsion. The microemulsion, oil and water are in a nearly miscible state, with basically no water block and low flowback resistance, the flowback of spent acid and the relative permeability of oil are recovered to a high degree. © 2023 Science Press.
