Abstract EN
To achieve in-depth profile control of injection water and improve oil recovery, a new profile control agent, termed as dispersed particle gel (DPG), has been developed and reported.
In this paper, the morphology of DPG and the factors that influence its morphology are systematically investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM).
The AFM studies show that DPG is composed of small pseudospherical particles and that their sizes can be controlled by adjusting the shearing rate, the initial polymer mass concentration, and the salinity.
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is used to study the effects of the initial polymer mass concentration, the shearing rate, the salinity, and the high-temperature aging on the particle size of DPG.
The aggregation ability of DPG is explained using the DLVO theory and space stability theory.
This work provides a scientific basis and technical support for the formula design of DPG and its application in the oil and gas field.
