Low permeability reservoirs have the characteristics of small pore throat radius, low permeability and water absorption ability. In order to improve the recovery efficiency of chemical flooding, a compounded system of alcohol ether sulfonate and betaine surfactant was established. The alcohol ether sulfonate DP6E6S characterized by 1H NMR was obtained by the introduction of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide into dodecanol and sulfonation. It was compounded with cetamide betaine PNC to evaluate surface properties, interaction properties, interface properties, wettability and emulsification properties of the complex system and the injection enhancement was obtained by core flooding experiments. It is showed that PNC and DP6E6S have strong synergistic effect of reducing critical micelle concentration (cmc) and surface tension effectively. The interfacial tension of the compound system decreases with the increase of salinity, especially n(PNC): n(DP6E6S) =2:3 and 1:1 which can reach 10-3 mN?m-1 in a wide range of salinity (>5%). The mole ratio of n(PNC): n(DP6E6S) =2:3 and 1:1 formed the more volume phase emulsion showed the best dissolution effect. The particle size of emulsion droplets first decreases and then increases with the increase of salinity. The interfacial tension of the compounded system is still low after core adsorption showed good adsorption resistance. The mole ratio of n(PNC): n(DP6E6S) =1:1 with larger wetting angle and smaller capillary force is conducive to depressurization and injection enhancement. The depressurization rate of the two optimized systems can reach 28.9% and 23.9%, respectively, indicating that low interfacial tension and high wetting angle are conducive to depressurization and injection enhancement of low permeability reservoirs.
