The blockage creation in polymer injection wells and the blockage removal technologies are reviewed on the data published in 33 papers in recent ten years in 3 topics: composition analyses of blockage substances;origination and mechanisms of blockage formation,and chemical ways of blockage removal.The results of analyses indicate that the field blockages samples are all mixtures of inorganic and organic substances.The origination and mechanisms of blockage formation in polymer injection wells are presented in 6 aspects: adsorption and retention of polymers;imcompatibility of polymer molar mass with reservoir pore throat size;formation fines migration;bacterial flora and metabolite;polymer clusters initiated by inorganics;and inadequate procedures of polymer solution preparation and thinning.As to blockage removing technologies,7 blockage removing agents for polymer and,particularly,gelling or gelled polymer injection wells,including ClO2 based,based on strong oxidant other than ClO2,and containing no strong oxidant,and 5 field cases of reservoir blockage removal in lots of injection wells.
