Fracture-type buried-hill reservoirs refer to dual media which have a fast breakthrough speed and a low sweep efficiency in the process of gas injection displacement. In order to overcome this problem, in this paper, a new profile control and oil displacement technology of pre-slug deep plugging by injection of different levels of nano-microspheres and natural gas was proposed. The mercury intrusion experiments were used to compare the fractal characteristics of the pore structures of the matrix and artificial fractured cores in the buried-hill reservoir. The results show that the heterogeneous characteristics of pores and fractures are the main factors leading to excessive gas breakthrough. Three nano-microsphere systems (WJ1, WJ2, and WJ3) with good temperature resistance, salt resistance, swelling properties, and stability were prepared using the inverse emulsion method. Core plugging performance tests show that WJ3 has the best plugging effect among the three nano-microsphere systems, followed by WJ2 and WJ1. According to the scanning electron microscopy observations, it was found that the sealing mechanism of nano-microspheres includes direct sealing, bridging sealing, adhesive sealing, direct pass, deformed pass, and crushing pass. Finally, the displacement experiments with a composite fractured core showed that compared with pure natural gas injection, the breakthrough time of the combined displacement process of nano-microspheres and natural gas was greatly extended, and the final oil displacement efficiency was increased to greater than 80%.
