According to the research status of low-permeability reservoir development, in order to find an intelligent and efficient displacement method, a Janus smart nanocapsule (embedding nanomaterials with surfactant function into the polymer) is developed in this paper. There are two kinds of phase fluids in the migration of porous media, the initial Janus intelligent microcapsule slow-release liquid (dissolved and undissolved AP-g-PNIPAAM and Janus functional particle ternary dispersion) and the later AP-g-PNIPAAM and Janus functional particle binary dispersion. Comprehensively, using the indoor oil displacement experiment, the seepage characteristics of the Janus smart nanocapsule (JSNC) in porous media are studied, and their macro and micro oil displacement mechanisms are revealed. Research shows that Janus intelligent microcapsules have good mobility control ability in low-permeability heterogeneous reservoirs. The displacement performance of stepped differential pressure shows that the displacement medium can expand the swept volume. The research results presented can show that the JSNC oil displacement system has great application potential for the development of low-permeability reservoirs.
