In the process of oilfield development, the use of CO₂ can improve the degree of reservoir production. Usually, CO₂ is injected alternately with water to expand the spread range of CO₂, and CO₂ presents a supercritical state in the formation conditions. In the process of alternating CO₂ and water injection, wellbore freezing and plugging frequently occur. In order to determine the cause of freezing and plugging of injection wells, the supercritical CO₂ flooding test area of YSL Oilfield in China is taken as an example to analyze the situation of freezing and plugging wells in the test area. The reasons for hydrate freezing and plugging are obtained, the distribution characteristics and sources of hydrate near the well are clarified, and a coupling model is established to calculate the limit injection velocity and limit shut-in time of CO₂ and water alternate injection wells. The results show that the main reasons for freezing and plugging of supercritical CO₂ water alternate injection wells are long time shut down after alternate injection, improper operation when stopping injection and starting and stopping pumps, and slow injection speed during alternate injection. In the process of supercritical CO₂ water alternative injection, in the case of post-injection, the CO₂ in the formation will reverse diffuse to the injection well end. With the continuous increase of daily water injection, the initial diffusion position and the time of CO₂ diffusion to the perforated hole after well shut-in gradually increase. The time of CO₂ reverse diffusion to the bottom of the well is 1.6–32.3 d, and the diffusion time in the perforated hole is 1.0–4.5 d. Therefore, the limit shut-in time following injection is 2.6–36.8 d. Following gas injection, the limit shut-in time of a waterproof compound can be divided into three stages according to the change of wellbore pressure: the pressure stabilization stage, pressure-drop stage and formation fluid-return stage. The limit shut-in time of a waterproof compound following gas injection is mainly affected by permeability, cumulative gas injection rate and formation depth. The limit shut-in time of a waterproof compound is 20.0~30.0 days. The research results provide technical support for the wide application of CO₂ flooding.

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.
