Abstract

Aiming to obtain a type of oil displacement with both surface activity and polymer performances, this paper, basing on mixing initiators at low temperatures, proposed a type of anion-nonionic surface-active polymer oil displacement agent (ANSP-1) by introducing polymerizable anion-nonionic surfmer (ANS-1), acrylamide (AM) and acrylic acid (AA). Structure of ANSP-1 was measured by FTIR. Laboratory studies show that: ANS-1 graft copolymerization occurs with AM, it avoids chromatographic separation, and it has better performances on molecular properties, such as tackifying performance, salt resistance, shear resistance and thermal stability. Oil-water interfacial tension can reach 1×10 mN/m. Field application shows that average recovery ratio of the test wells which used ANSP-1 is 11%, which is 6.2% higher than the whole area.

Keywords: Low interfacial tension, Oil displacement agent, Polymer flooding, Recovery ratio.
