The article offers a method to solve Buckley-Leverett’s problem, taking into account the nonlinear dependence of the filtration rate of viscoplastic oil on the pressure gradient. This method is based on the transformation of the fractional flow function by introducing in the theory of water drive the equations reflecting the rheological features of the oil flow. The resulting model allows us to quantify the influence of rheological factors on the completeness of the water-oil displacement and to calculate the performance, taking into account the component composition of the hydrocarbon phases. Taking the Samara Region oil fields as an example, the article shows that the quality of design is unsatisfactory when the bundled software being used does not take into account specific non-Newtonian properties of the high-viscosity oil.

Abstract Production monitoring is essential not only for fiscal applications, but also for production optimization and efficient reservoir management. So, production measurements must be both accurate and frequent enough, revealing a consistent trend of well operating parameters. This is especially important for reservoirs of complex geology, like oil rim reservoirs in poorly consolidated sandstone formations with presence of aquifer and gas cap drive. Production monitoring can be implemented with different technologies, accuracy of monitoring is however affected by different factors like gas content, viscosity and temperature of produced fluids. Paper presents pragmatic approach and analysis of applicability of different measurement technologies: compact two-phase separator and two different multiphase metering technologies applied at oil wells of Tazovskoye field operated by LLC "Meretoyakhaneftegaz", which production conditions are very challenging due to high gas volume fraction of the produced fluid, high viscosities and low temperatures.
