    Abstract:

    The ultra-low permeability reservoirs have poor physical properties,which leads to difficult fluid flow,often showing the characteristics of non-linear flow. In the past,the study on non-linear flow laws focused more on water flooding but less on CO2 flooding. Considering the insufficient understanding of the non-linear flow laws of CO2 flooding in ultra-low permeability reservoirs in Gao89 area of Shengli Oilfield,an experimental study in this regard was carried out to reveal the influence of the interaction between CO2 and crude oil on the flow characteristics of crude oil. The calculation formula of the minimum threshold pressure gradient and the non-linear flow characteristic representation model of CO2 flooding under different permeability were constructed. The results show that there is threshold pressure in CO2 flooding in the ultra-low permeability reservoirs,and the minimum threshold pressure gradient of crude oil has a good power function relationship with fluidity. With the increase in fluidity,the threshold pressure gradient decreases significantly.In addition,the flow curve of CO2 flooding shows the characteristics of two stages,i.e.,non-linear stage+linear stage. The flow velocity at the linear stage has a good linear relationship with the pressure gradient,and that at the non-linear stage has a good quadratic function relationship with the pressure gradient. CO2 dissolved in crude oil has a significant swelling and viscosity reduction effect,which drastically lowers the minimum threshold pressure gradient of crude oil and enhances the flow capability of crude oil,and the non-linear stage in the flow curve is shortened.
