Nowadays, in China nearly all the produced oil-fields have already entered the period of high water cut, and the six oil-fields of Daqing and Shengli oil-field etc. have exceeded eighty percent water cut. Beierdong Block has produced for nearly fifty years, and now it has entered into the descending output stage and its water cut has reached more than ninety percent. With oil field infill gradually in Beierdong Block, each series of well network production target getting worse gradually, intersecting with old well network stratigraphic position, and polymer flooding well network use part of water driving old well, making the contradictory of layer well network concatenate and dynamic regulation intensely. Especially as the block of infill adjustment proceeded earliest, acquired better developed effect at the beginning of regulation, but with the deep development of the field, after the phase of extra high water cut, exposed gradually some problems such as the perforating interval is too long, the contradiction of interlamination is obvious, the high water cut of multilayer is serious, bringing huge difficulty to dynamic analysis regulation.Basing on layer recombination and using the reservoir simulation method, the paper studied the distribution of remaining oil, forecast variation regular pattern of development indexes. By contrasting these indexes, the paper estimates the effect of layer recombination. It has important significance for the next period’s development.

The efficiency of different physical and chemical technologies used in various areas and Romashkinskoye New-Elkhovskoye oil fields was researched. The result was a conclusion that at high water-cut objects, restriction of movement of water in highly permeable leached zones of a productive layer is one of the main conditions for increasing the efficiency of not only flooding, but also the use of physical and chemical methods based on improving of oil extraction factor.

ABSTRACT Jake field, discovered in July, 2006, contains 10 oil-producing and 12 condensate gas-producing zones. The wells have high flow capacities, producing from long-perforation interval of 3,911 ft (from 4,531 to 8,442 ft). Production mechanisms include gas injection in downdip wells and traditional gas lift in updip, zonal production wells since the start-up of field in July, 2010. Following pressure depletion of oil and condensate-gas zones and water breakthrough, traditional gas-lift wells became inefficient and dead. Based on nodal analysis of entire pay zones, successful innovations in gas lift have been made since March, 2013. This paper highlights them in the following aspects: Extend end of tubing to the bottom of perforations for commingled production of oil and condensate gas zones, in order to utilize condensate gas producing from the lower zones for in-situ gas lift.Produce well stream from the casing annulus while injecting natural gas into the tubing.High-pressure nitrogen generated in-situ was used to kick off the dead wells, instead of installation of gas lift valves for unloading. After unloading process, the gas from compressors was injected down the tubing and back up the casing annulus.For previous high water-cut producers, prior to continuous gas lift, approximately 3.6 MMcf of nitrogen can be injected and soaked a couple of days for anti-water-coning.Two additional 10-in. flow lines were constructed to minimize the back pressure of surface facilities on wellhead. As a consequence, innovative gas-lift brought dead wells back on production, yielding average sustained liquid rate of 7,500 bbl/d per well. Also, the production decline curves flattened out than before.

In order to solve the problem of high water cut wells in some oil field in Daqing that it could not get the large-scale application because of the bad separating effect of down hole centrifugal oil-water separator, we optimize the design of multi-cup uniform flux oil-water separator according to the similar separation principle of multi-cup uniform flux gas anchor, and it is obtained to achieve of injection-production technology in the same well which is of high water cut. The design concept of the separator is increasing the number of opening every layer and aperture gradually in subsection from up to down in the design process. The purpose is to get the close intake quantity of every orifice and guarantee the residence time is long enough in the separator, effectively shorten the length of down hole oil-water separator and reduce the production costs and operating costs.

The parameters of reservoir impact all the sectors of oilfield developing after flood development, so methods of separate stratum injection allocation are researched for forecasting the petroleum reservoir performance accurately. The methods of separate stratum injection allocation are significative for remaining oil distribution, injection allocation of interval and the level of exploitation and administration in high water cut stage. First, we should derive injection-withdrawal ratio (IWR), gradient of pressure and water cut by material balance equation.The injection allocation of single well,injection wells and property of interval are determined by the research of split coefficient.We find the reservoir small error, lower water cut, high degree of reservoir recovery by anaysising the results of separate stratum injection allocation.The results show that separate stratum injection allocation is scientific and reasonable, simple and applied for the oil field in high water cut stage.

There are numerous oil fields that are approaching the end of their lifetime and that have great geothermal potential considering temperature and water cut. On the other hand, the oil industry is facing challenges due to increasingly stringent environmental regulations. An example of this is the case of France where oil extraction will be forbidden starting from the year 2035. Therefore, some oil companies are considering switching from the oil business to investing in geothermal projects conducted on existing oil wells. The proposed methodology and developed conversions present the evaluation of existing geothermal potentials for each oil field in terms of water temperature and flow rate. An additional important aspect is also the spatial distribution of existing oil wells related to the specific oil field. This paper proposes a two-stage clustering approach for grouping similar wells in terms of their temperature properties. Once grouped on a temperature basis, these clusters should be clustered once more with respect to their spatial arrangement in order to optimize the location of production facilities. The outputs regarding production quantities and economic and environmental aspects will provide insight into the optimal scenario for oil-to-water conversion. The scenarios differ in terms of produced energy and technology used. A case study has been developed where the comparison of overall fields and clustered fields is shown, together with the formed scenarios that can further determine the possible conversion of petroleum assets to a geothermal assets.
