Abstract:

A series of polyethylene (PE)/polyolefin elastomer (POE)/CaCO3 blending particles were prepared as a channel flow regulator for the fractured?vuggy carbonate reservoir, and the effects of CaCO3 content and PE/POE mass ratio on the density, adhesion, melting behavior and tensile strength of the blending particles were investigated. The results indicated that the density of the channel flow regulator increased with an increase of CaCO3 content, and the addition of CaCO3 could meet the requirement for the adjustment of density from 1.05 to 1.20 g/cm3. The PE/POE blending particles with different contents of CaCO3 varied from melting adhesion to softening adhesion by a combination of the relatively high temperature melting behavior of PE and the good adhesion property of POE. The melting temperature range and tensile strength of PE/POE/CaCO3 composites were also easily manipulated by the CaCO3 content and PE/POE mass ratio. However, the tensile strength of PE/POE/CaCO3 composites was found to increase with an increase of PE content at the same CaCO3 content.
