In order to solve the problem of rapid increase in water content and decrease in production after water flooding in fault block reservoirs, the air foam flooding experiments of static low temperature oxidation, single and double sand filled tube were carried out. The results showed that there was no absolute relationship between oxygen consumption and viscosity of crude oil, and there was a turning point of water saturation. The reaction rate is greatly affected by the reaction temperature. The displacement efficiency of single pipe is increased about 15%. The injection of air foam can effectively block the high permeable strip, and the middle low permeability layer is effectively utilized, and the recovery ratio is increased by about 10.9%. The plan of air foam flooding for Gao 16 block is compiled. The injection volume is 0.1PV and the gas-liquid ratio is 2:1. The recovery factor is increased by 5% and the cumulative oil increment is 22700 tons.
