The prediction of scaling time in producing wells of ASP flooding in the fourth plant of Daqing oilfield

After used technology of the ASP flooding in the fourth plant of Daqing oilfield, the problem of scaling becomes serious in oil wells. The scale samples do not dissolve to acid or alkali, and it difficult to be treated with regular method, so it has influenced the normal proceeding of well production. For solving this phenomenon, the displacement experiment was proceeded to simulate the site actual oil production conditions by using the high pressure physical simulation tests. By measurement of variation law of permeability in the process of ASP flooding and pH value in produced liquid along with time, the paper predicted the starting time and duration of scaling during oil well production. And rationality of the prediction results was verified by using the local test results. Finally the prediction formulas of scaling time which the oil wells with different spacing in ASP flooding were summarized.
