Abstract

In order to improve the water flooding physical simulation similarity theory, on the basis of previous studies, the similarity rules of water flooding in the ultra-low permeability reservoir are deduced with the basic equation considering the nonlinear seepage characteristic of fluid in ultra-low permeability reservoirs. By using the inspectional analysis method, the physical significance of each similar rule is analyzed, and the conversion relationships between the model parameters and reservoir parameters are determined. Through the selection of the corresponding outcrop rock with the actual reservoir, the simulation scheme is able to realize the similarity of two phase flow characteristics, capillary force characteristics, and nonlinear seepage characteristics in between the model and the reservoir prototype. The conclusions are able to provide the theoretical guidance for the physical simulation of water flooding in the ultra-low permeability reservoirs.
