Abstract
AbstractDue to small hole roar, most of low-permeability gas reservoirs are water wetting, and the capillary effect is very prominent, resulting in water blocking damage in the process of exploitation for natural gas. A new kind of oligomer silicone surfactant (OSSF) was developed, and the physical and chemical properties of oligomer silicone surfactant were evaluated. The experimental results indicated that the critical micelle concentration of OSSF was 0.418×10-3 mol/L, and the critical surface tension of OSSF was 20.631 mN/m. OSSF could be adsorbed directionally at the water-rock pore interface, and the cores adsorbed with OSSF should reverse from water wetting to oil wetting or gas wetting. OSSF had good compatibility with sulphonated polymer mud. OSSF could play an important role in unlocking water blocking damage to increase production and efficiency.
