Abstract

In this paper, a new method is proposed to optimize the molecular weight of polymer based on the analysis of the influence of polymer molecular weight on oil displacement, which is by using the method of the pore volume, the parameters of polymer flooding and permeability, the numerical simulation. Not only the pore size of polymer molecules was considered, but also the matching of polymer molecular weight and permeability has been taken into account, Simulation of single molecular weight and different molecular weight optimal combination is carried out, and the results show that the method can improve polymer flooding effect by enlarging the sweep volume, and improve the economic efficiency of polymer flooding too.
