| Description | Tight sandstone reservoirs are ideal locations for $CO_{2}$ storage. To evaluate the oil displacement efficiency and storage potential of $CO_{2}$ in the tight sandstone reservoir in the Huang 3 area of the Changqing Oilfield, four kinds of displacement experiments were conducted on core samples from the Chang 8 Formation in the Huang 3 area. These experiments were performed using micro-displacement equipment, digital core technology, and an online CT scanning system; the different oil displacement processes were recorded as three-dimensional images. The results show that the $CO_{2}$ flooding alternated with water scheme can improve crude oil recovery the most. Comparing the cores before and after the displacement shows that the amount of crude oil in pores with larger sizes decreases more. The remaining oil is mainly in thin films or is dispersed and star-shaped, indicating that the crude oil in the medium and large pores is swept and recovered. The $CO_{2}$ displacement efficiency is 41.67~55.08%, and the $CO_{2}$ storage rate is 38.16~46.89%. The proportion of remaining oil in the throat of the small and medium-sized pores is still high, which is the key to oil recovery in the later stages. |
