In order to study the profile control characteristics of emulsions in porous medium, the heterogeneous experimental model was established, by which the experimental scheme was designed with different permeabilities, matching degree of particle size and concentration of emulsions. Based on experimental results of physical simulation, the concept of distributing rate and changing coefficient was introduced to quantitatively evaluate the profile control characteristics of emulsions. The results of the study show that, as the permeability ratio and emulsion concentration increase, the profile control characteristics of emulsions will enhance. The profile control characteristics of emulsions will be the best. The profile control scheme with emulsions was implemented in Bohai X oil field, The research results can be used for reference to design the profile control scheme in Bohai heterogeneous reservoir.
