The thermal development in heavy oil reservoirs with edge and bottom water is poor, while gas huff-n-puff shows a high recovery strong adaptability. formation of foamy during one the reasons for recovery. In order to determine factors affecting flow huff-n-puff, experiments using one-dimensional sandpack were conducted. influences drawdown pressure cycle number analyzed. conditions preliminarily clarified, enhanced (EOR) mechanism was revealed. experimental results show that are two important oil. Foamy prone forming under moderate 0.5–0.75 MPa, being too small or large unfavorable. more likely form first cycles, it becomes increasingly challenging increase number. These reflect necessary huff-n-puff: allowing adequately provide shear mixing generation micro-bubbles, other content should not be avoid inability disperse stabilize bubbles. oil, on hand, increases volume phase, reduces mobility phase slows down decline rate core, thereby enhancing driving force displacement. So, influence production declined by about 26%, average increased 4.5–6.9%.

Unconventional heavy oil reservoirs are particularly susceptible to steam breakthrough, which significantly reduces crude production. Profile control is a crucial strategy used for stabilizing production and minimizing costs in these reservoirs. Conventional plugging agent systems the thermal recovery of currently fail meet high-temperature, high-strength, deep profile requirements this process. Precipitation-type calcium salt blocking agents demonstrate long-term stability at 300 °C concentrations up 250,000 mg/L, making them highly effective channeling blockage during injection stages recovery. This study proposes two types precipitation-type agents: CaSO4 CaCO3 crystals. The precipitation behavior was investigated, their dynamic growth patterns were examined. sulfate exhibits slower crystal rate, allowing single-solution injection, while carbonate precipitates rapidly, requiring dual-solution injection. Both incorporate scale inhibitors delay crystals, aids control. Through microscopic visualization experiments, micro-blocking characteristics within pores compared, elucidating positions precipitated salts under porous conditions. Calcium crystals preferentially precipitate block larger pore channels, whereas more evenly distributed throughout reducing reservoir’s heterogeneity. final single-core displacement experiment demonstrated sealing properties systems. developed exhibit excellent performance.
