Study on improving viscosity of polymer solution based on complex reaction

The current status of polymer flooding Technology on high salinity oil reservoir is not ideal.A method for increasing the viscosity of polymer solutions is urgently needed.This paper systematically studied the effect of ions with different mass concentrations on the viscosity of polymer solutions.Based on the theory of complex reaction, a countermeasure of increasing viscosity of polymer solution under conditions of high salinity reservoir was proposed.The results show that Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ have greater influence on the solution viscosity than K + and Na + .When the concentration of divalent ions increases from 0 mg/L to 80 mg/L, the viscosity of the polymer solution decreases from 210 mPa• s to 38.6 mPa• s.The viscosity of the polymer solution prepared from the sewage treated with the Na2C2O4 increased by 25.3%.Atomic force microscopy test results show that Na2C2O4 can effectively shield the divalent metal ions, so that the polymer molecules in the solution stretch more, thereby increasing the solution viscosity.Atomic force microscopy test results show that Na2C2O4 can effectively shield the divalent metal ions, so that the polymer molecules in the solution stretch more, thereby increasing the solution viscosity.
