Preparation and Optimization of Modified Asphalt by Profile Control Parameters at Lamadian Oilfield

: The Lamadian oilfield has entered the stage of strong water cut after natural energy development and conventional water flooding development. The use of asphalt binder for profile control can not only adjust the contradiction between layers, expand the swept volume, but also improve the oil displacement efficiency. The field test has achieved certain results. The main oil layer in the Lamadian oilfield has a strong oil layer thickness and serious vertical and plane heterogeneity. After years of water injection development and polymer injection development, most oilfields have entered a period of strong water cut. In the test, it is found that the effect of different well layers is very different, the effect is unstable, and the reason is unclear. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out research on the adaptability and parameter optimization of profile control of asphalt binder through laboratory experiments. In this paper, the asphalt binder provided on site are modified and the dispersion effect of modified asphalt binder is studied, and the concentration of suspending agent is optimized. The artificial cemented core structure and injection method are improved to solve the problem of aggregated asphalt binder on the end face during injection. The displacement profile control experiment was carried out with artificial cores, and the matching relationship between the injected particle size of the asphalt binder and the permeability was determined, and the optimal injection amount was optimized for cores with different permeabilities. The research results show that adding a KCl (potassium chloride solution) solution with a concentration of 2% as a dispersant can exert a better dispersing effect on the asphalt binder. Through the plugging rate experiments of three types of asphalt binder, the profile control effect is determined as the best when the particle size of the asphalt binder is 0.06–0.1 mm. According to the experimental results, the experimental research on the injection concentration and profile control radius of the profile control agent system was carried out. Finally, it was determined that the injection concentration of 3500 mg/L and the profile control radius of 1/3–1/2 of the well spacing were the optimal injection parameters. The field application of a profile control agent provides experimental basis.
