Evaluation of Oil Displacement by Polysaccharide Fermentation Broth of Athelia rolfsii Under Extreme Reservoir Conditions
2025
Overview
In the development of high-temperature and high-salinity oil fields, biopolymer scleroglucan flooding technology faces significant challenges. Traditional scleroglucan products exhibit poor injectability and high extraction costs. This study investigated the application potential of the original fermentation broth of exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by microorganisms in a simulated high-temperature and high-salinity oil reservoir environment. The polysaccharide was identified as scleroglucan through IR and NMR analysis. Its stability and rheological properties were comprehensively evaluated under extreme conditions, including temperatures up to 150 °C, pH levels ranging from 1 to 13, and salinities up to 22 × 104 mg/L. The results demonstrated that EPS maintained excellent viscosity and stability, particularly at 76.6 °C and 22 × 104 mg/L salinity, where its viscosity remained above 80% for 35 days. This highlights its significant viscoelasticity and stability in high-temperature and high-salinity oil reservoirs. Additionally, this study, for the first time, examined the rheological properties of the original fermentation broth of scleroglucan, specifically assessing its injectability and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) performance in a simulated Middle Eastern high-temperature, high-salinity, medium-low permeability reservoir environment. The findings revealed an effective EOR exceeding 15%, confirming the feasibility of using the original fermentation broth as a biopolymer for enhancing oil recovery in extreme reservoir conditions. Based on these experimental results, it is concluded that the original fermentation broth of Athelia rolfsii exhibits superior performance under high-temperature and high-salinity conditions in medium–low permeability reservoirs, offering a promising strategy for future biopolymer flooding in oil field development.
