Abstract:
A serious problem in the Baise oilfield is that partial oil wells make sand flow, emulsification and wax deposits within
the formation plugging in oil layers. Conventional acidizing treatment can not be used in some oil wells because of
the bad well condition and sand production. Apollo Greenzyme unblocking techniques were introduced to apply in
Baise. This paper gives a way of operating with the original production string. After analyzing and discussing the
working mechanism of Greenzyme unblocking agent, 14 experiments were done including 13 wells, of which 12 wells
were effective in unblocking and the increasing oil production. The efficiency of stimulation was 85.7% with 270.6
metric tons incremental oil recovered.

English translation from Chinese showing significantly improved production from a first steam cycle without enzyme
fluid (<3,000 bbls oil) to the second steam cycle which reduced the steam load used by 20%, but injected diluted
enzyme fluid as a pre-cursor (>21,000 bbls oil produced). Both daily production and production for the second steam
cycle rose significantly, despite the reduction in steam. The depth of the well indicated (1,700 meters) makes it likely
the steam injected reached the intended zone as hot water rather than steam. Well produced a heavy crude with
density =1.03. Viscosity 025-30 MPa’s. The addition of Greenzyme® enhanced production.

The feasibility of the application of biologic-enzyme for enhancing oil recovery by single well huff and puff in complex
fault-block reservoirs in Dagang Oilfield was researched by analyzing biochemical properties and interfacial activity of
biologic-enzyme and oil displacement efficiency on different wettability cores. Modern measuring results indicate that
biologic-enzyme mainly makes up of protein enzyme,alcohol de-hydrogenase (ADH), xylanase enzyme and so on with
high biological activity. The total protein content is about 10~3μg/mL. The interfacial tension of biologic-enzyme fluid
and crude oil is in the range of 10~(-1) to 10~(-2)mN/m with relatively lower activity than that of other common
surfactants used in the combination flooding. Biologic-enzyme is able to emulsify some crude oil. When the
concentration is over 4 percent, the emulsification effect of crude oil is gradually improved. The wettability of rocks
change after biologic-enzyme molecules are absorbed on the rock surface,which makes the rock surface become
much water-wetting. The pilot test in biologic-enzyme recovery well groups presents significant effect on decreasing
water production and increasing oil production,and the ratio of input to output is 1:12 and the crude oil recovery rate is
more than 3 percent. The biologic -enzyme enhanced oil recovery technology can be applied in homogeneous
reservoirs with middle permeability or low permeability,and in reservoirs with high content of resin and asphaltene. If
the biologic-enzyme system can stay in the reservoir for a while,its recovery effect can be better.

The characters and application of Apollo enzyme were introduced. For studying bioenzyme blocking removal
mechanism, the blocking of organic scaling is simulated by distilling formation oil from an oilfield, an experiment for
capillary absorbing is carried out for detecting the interface tension between oil/water, oil/enzyme solution, by which
the gas chromatogram of saturated hydrocarbon both before and after enzyme usage is obtained. It is found out
that Apollo enzyme has the function of changing rock wettability, reducing oil-water interfacial tension and organic
scaling stripping, degradation, a physical simulation test is made for removing organic blocking by using cores
packing with sand from the oilfield. It is demonstrated that it is feasible for simulating organic scaling blocking by
injecting cores with distilled oil. The result shows that after 8% Apollo enzyme blocking removal agent prepared
with formation water exposed for 48h is used, the permeability on the cores blocked by organic scale recovers to
90% or more, permeability increases more 13.78% than that before blocking, and better blocking removal effect is

Lukqin oilfield is a deep heavy oil field,at room temperature with water injection development,achieving better
development results. However,with the total injection volume of oil increased,pressure has been close to the
ground water system pressure,injection wells due to the growing use of pressure dropping by injection of
conventional acid for a short period have little profit. In this paper,from the study of the blocking mechanism of
heavy oil wells,biological blocking solution process is proposed. Through the application,the results are
significant,which provides a step-down new technical idea for heavy oil wells with a broad promotion and

Permeability Oilfield
Cai Yanhua (No.10 Oil Production Plant,Daqing Oilfield Co.,Ltd.,Daqing Heilongjiang 166405)
Biological enzyme can make residual oil saturation drop for turning wettability of rock surface to water wet and making
crude oil fall off from rock particles surface. It also can solve the problems of high injection pressure and poor
response of the oil well in the low permeability oilfield and then enhance displacement efficiency. The properties of the
biological enzyme were evaluated through the laboratory experiments on displacement efficiency, interfacial
tension,and characteristic of surface adsorption,corrosion behavior and depressurization of the biological enzyme.
The results show that when the concentration of the biological enzyme is 2.0%,the interfacial tension is low and
injection pressure drops by 51.4% averagely ,and it has no corrosiveness for N80 steel. So 0.006PV of the biological
enzyme should be injected according to the comprehensive factors. In the field,six injection wells and their connected
24 oil wells make up of the test well group in the tested block of A oilfield. Cumulative injected original enzyme is 270t
and total injected enzyme solution is 11422m3.After one year,injection pressure dropped and apparent water
injectivity index rose,and interbedded injectivity behavior was improved in the injection wells. In the connected oil
wells ,oil production rose a little and composite water cut has no change and rate of formation pressure recovery
increased obviously. And more oil was produced with 3519t of cumulative incremental oil production and interval rate
of production enhanced by 0.38%.It may help to establish an efficient displacement system in waterflooding in
peripheral three-type reservoirs.

Mud cake can be removed by adding biological enzymes into a drilling fluid, protecting reservoir permeability from
being damaged. A drilling fluid was formulated through laboratory exponents, which has good rheology, inhibitive
capacity, lubricity and a filtration rate of almost zero. This drilling fluid contains mainly cellulose, modified starch and
biopolymer. Different biological enzymes are added to this fluid. The breakdown mechanisms of these enzymes are
discussed in this paper. Laboratory experimental results showed that mud cakes can be easily removed by some

Experimental research on Bio-enzyme flooding in a low permeability reservoir
Zhu Jianhong,Pu Chunsheng,Tian Yang et al.Zhu Jianhong,School of Petroleum Engineering,Xian Shiyou
University,Xian City,Shaanxi Province,710065,China
Yanchang oil field is a typical low permeability reservoir in Northern Shaanxi. The primary recovery is low with original
formation energy and the water cut rises sharply during water flooding. The whole flooding recovery is poor. Bio-enzyme is an
environmental clean and water-soluble agent. It can be injected into the formation pores effectively and alter the wettability of
formation rock surface. The crude oil can be stimulated to fall off from the rock surface by reducing the residual oil saturation.
And,the oil recovery will be enhanced. In this paper,the displacement efficiency of SUN compound Bioenzyme solution is
evaluated in laboratory by one-dimension sand filled physical model flowing experiment. The results shows that the
displacement efficiency of SUN compound Bio enzyme solution gets the best when its concentration is about 3% at the
injected volume of 0.4PV.The displacement efficiency is increased by about 11.4% for low permeability core of Yanchang oil
field. This indicates that the SUN compound Bio-enzyme oil displacement agent is suitable for low and ultra low permeability
reservoir water flooding.

Oilfield,Tianjin, 300280,China
In the middle and late period of oilfield development,the physical properties of underground crude oil is deterioration,and the
reservoirs are subject to varying degrees of pollution and blockage because of various jobs and construction,which have a
greater impact on normal production wells. Environmentally friendly bio-enzyme displacement technology can reduce
formation damage,enhance oil recovery ratio with simple construction, easy operation,strong adaptability to the changes of
temperature, pressure, pH and water salinity in different types of reservoirs,which is the inevitable choice for the tertiary oil
recovery. In order to promote the environmentally friendly bio-enzyme displacement technology, the author analyzed its
mechanism and characteristics of enhancing oil recovery and the applicable conditions for oil reservoirs,introduced the pilot
field test of environmentally friendly bio-enzyme displacement technology in GX 41-22 Fault Block of Dagang Oilfield.The
target horizon in GX 41-22 Fault Block with environmentally friendly bio-enzyme displacement was Nm Ⅱ 5-3 reservoir
group, two slugs were injected by biological enzyme in total 16 t with solution 333 m3,the injection mass concentration:the
first slug was 600 g / L, the second was 400 g / L.Among 5 benefit wells,four wells were effective and integrated water cut
was dropped by an average of 14.7%,the cumulative increase in oil was 1923 t,thus achieving a better application effect.

Screening, re screening and optimizing culture conditions of bacterial strains producing protease was studied for biological
enzyme plug removal agent in petroleum. Protease producing strains were screened from Daqing crude oil samples.
Namely the use of hydrolyzed casein transparent circle experiment and forint phenol method of protease activity for
screening and re screening strains. Then,to satisfy the size of protease activity indicator,by single factor test,the culture
mediums and culture conditions of the strain were optimized. The strain that showed protease activity had grown well with
soluble starch(15 g/L), peptone +yeast extract(20 g/L,20 g/L),NaCl(1.0 g/L),CaCl2(0.02 g/L),Na2HPO4(0.2
g/L),NaH2PO4(0.1 g/L),and the optimum culture conditions were initial pH(6.0),vaccination(5%),temperature(31 ℃),shaker
speed(160 r/min),culture time(72 h).The activity of protease in the optimal conditions was up to 551.0 U/mL which was
found to be 22.92 times more than that produced by the rescreened strains. At this time,the best condition that growth
reproduction and metabolism of the strain and higher protease activity were obtained,which is favorable for conducting
subsequent experiments. Protease produced by the strain have effects in reducing surface tension of fermentation liquid to
crude oil,from 56.2 mN/m reduced to 30.5 mN/m,surface tension decreased significantly. What's more,it can play an
important role in degrading crude oil and reducing viscosity,having certain research value.
