Reference answer: Chemical flooding involves injecting certain chemicals to increase the viscosity of formation water, thereby altering the viscosity ratio between crude oil and formation water. This reduces the difference between the flow capacity of water and that of oil in the formation. At the same time, it decreases the adsorption of crude oil to rocks, thus expanding the area where viscous water can be used for oil displacement and improving the efficiency of oil extraction. The Daqing Oil Field in China conducted third-stage oil recovery experiments using polymers based on polyacrylamide, which significantly improved the crude oil recovery rate and yielded considerable economic benefits. The mixed-phase flooding method relies on the formation of a mixed phase between the injected gas and crude oil, which helps to reduce the viscosity of the crude oil as well as its adhesion to rocks. Commonly used gases include natural gas and carbon dioxide. Microbial oil displacement is a method that utilizes microorganisms and their metabolic products to break down heavy hydrocarbons and paraffins, converting large oil molecules into smaller ones. The gases produced as a result of these metabolic processes, such as CO2, N2, H2, and CH4, are soluble in crude oil, which helps to reduce its viscosity and increase its fluidity, thereby improving the oil recovery rate.

Chemical flooding: It involves injecting chemical agents or steam, using chemical-physical methods to alter the interfacial properties of formation fluids and rocks in order to increase oil recovery rates. Mixed-phase flooding: It aims for complete mutual dissolution between the flooding fluid and the fluid to be displaced (oil), with the interfacial tension between the two phases being zero. Microbial oil recovery is a technology with a high level of technical complexity for improving oil recovery rates. It involves not only the biochemical processes such as the growth, reproduction, and metabolism of microorganisms in the oil reservoir, but also the transport of microbial cells, microbial nutrients, and microbial metabolic products within the reservoir. Additionally, it includes changes in the properties of rocks, oil, gas, and water resulting from their interactions with these microorganisms; therefore, it is particularly important to conduct in-depth research on the mechanisms behind these processes.

The chemical flooding method involves injecting certain chemicals to increase the viscosity of the formation water, thereby altering the viscosity ratio between crude oil and formation water and reducing the gap between the flow capacity of water and that of oil in the formation. At the same time, it reduces the adsorption of crude oil to rocks, thus expanding the area covered by viscous water for oil displacement and improving the efficiency of oil displacement
