Permeability measurements were conducted under effective confining pressures ranging from 1.5 to 4.5 MPa. Hydrate growth modes during formation and decomposition were characterized using the Kozeny grain model (KGM), enabling mechanistic analysis of permeability evolution. Key findings reveals that the permeability decreases with increasing hydrate saturation and effective confining pressure.

Due to the limitations of profile control in traditional foams, the aim of this experimental investigation is to develop a high-temperature-resistant gel foam system to plug steam channeling paths. Gel foam can compensate for the defect of poor thermal stability in single-component foam, and shows great potential in oil reservoir development. This paper mainly expounds that the gel foam system (0.5 wt% foaming agent AOS + 0.5 wt% polymer HPAM + 0.4 wt% crosslinker PE + 0.5 wt% stabilizer), as a profile control agent for improving the recovery, has better performance than the single foaming agent AOS. Through the experiments on the foam volume and the half - life of liquid separation, the foaming agent AOS has the highest foam complex index both at room temperature and under the high temperature condition of 200 °C. Subsequently, AOS is selected to be compounded with the gel, and the formula of the gel foam system with good gel - forming performance is determined: 0.5 wt% AOS +0.5 wt% HPAM +0.4 wt% PE + 0.5 wt% stabilizer. In the profile control experiment, when the gas-liquid ratio is 1:1, the addition of AOS to the gel can increase its resistance factor by 14 times, which confirms that compared with AOS, this system can effectively block the high - permeability dominant channels and improve the sweep volume, demonstrating great potential for enhancing oil recovery. Moreover, after the gel foam system is aged at 200 °C for 48 h and then subsequent water flooding of 15 PV is carried out, the plugging rate of the gel foam system is still as high as 86.4 %, which also indicates that this system can carry out long - term and effective profile control. Moreover, the heavy oil recovery of the gel foam slug is 6.3 % higher than that of the AOS slug. Therefore, as a profile control agent for improving the sweep efficiency, the gel foam system has greater advantages than AOS profile control.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100578,"journal":{"name":"Geoenergy Science and Engineering","volume":"255 ","pages":"Article 214117"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144704279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amine-based additives are known for their remarkable inhibitive features. Molecular dynamics simulation was used to evaluate the inhibition performance of a hyperbranched polyamine on sodium montmorillonite (Na-Mnt) hydration in WBDFs. This polyamine demonstrated good solubility and effectively interacts, adsorbs and coats the Na-Mnt surface. Adsorption occurs primarily through H-bonding and electrostatic attractions, with minimal van der Waals (vdW) contributions, forming a protective surface layer/film on the Na-Mnt that modifies its hydrophilic properties by layering the surface. Two adsorption configurations were identified: a stable amine head group and a dimethylamine group. The addition of the polyamine reduced counterion and water mobility, minimizing their coordination as the aqueous NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> ions replaced Na <sup>+</sup> ions and water molecules, reducing the counterion and Na-Mnt hydration, consequently, weakening the Na-Mnt/water H-bonding network and interaction energy, and thus reducing surface hydration. Temperature had a significant impact on the interaction strength and inhibition performance, while high pressure played a minimal role at elevated temperatures. Overall, the hyperbranched polyamine demonstrated splendid inhibition performance under HT/HP conditions (478 K/75 MPa) for enhancing WBDFs performance and supporting safer, stable and more efficient well drilling works.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100578,"journal":{"name":"Geoenergy Science and Engineering","volume":"255 ","pages":"Article 214115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144686167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to the serious heterogeneity of the formation, the gas is prone to escape along large pores during CO<sub>2</sub> flooding. Conventional CO<sub>2</sub> anti-channeling systems have some defects such as poor stability, weak retention capacity and inferior plugging effect. Therefore, it is critical to develop a novel type of CO<sub>2</sub> anti-channeling system for low-permeability reservoirs. Herein, four kinds of systems with amine groups are tested to identify the most effective CO<sub>2</sub>-responsive system, which consists of poloxamer, dimethylaminoethyl acrylate, nano carbon powder, acrylamide and initiator. Subsequently, physicochemical properties of the optimum system are researched systematically by rheological experiments, CO<sub>2</sub>-responsive processes and structural characterization. The results indicate that the viscosity of the system increases from 4.2 mPa s to approximately 67.8 mPa s as a result of increasing temperature and CO<sub>2</sub> injection. Meanwhile it can be reversibly cycled between low viscosity and high viscosity by alternately introducing and removing CO<sub>2</sub>, which indicates the gas response behavior of the system is reversible. Furthermore, the plugging performance and EOR are evaluated using low permeability cores. The experiments demonstrate that the system can effectively restrain gas channeling and enhance recovery factor by as high as 22 % - significantly outperforming conventional water-alternating-gas (WAG) flooding which provided only a 10.62 % enhancement under comparable conditions.

The results show that significant heterogeneity can be found in the characteristics of carbonate rocks with pore structure differences. The porosity and permeability of the fault core are 3–6 times and 2-3 orders of magnitude greater than those of the damage zone, while velocities are significantly lower. The velocity pressure sensitivity of the saturated samples is less than that of dry ones, because the compressibility of microcracks is greatly reduced under water saturated conditions. The DKT model can simulate the elastic moduli of carbonate strike-slip fault rocks by three equivalent pore geometries, which can qualitatively identify the fault structure. After saturation, the S-wave velocity generally decreases in the fault core and increases in the damage zone. Fault core samples show shear softening after saturation, while the damage zone samples show shear stiffening. The Gassmann's equations may not be valid anymore in this situation.
