Aqueous Polymer Solution

The oil displacement in a layered inhomogeneous reservoir using two types of physical-chemical technologies (polymer flooding and hydrogel flooding) is the subject of this research. In the first case the aqueous polymer solution of the desired concentration is injected into the porous reservoir creating the high-viscous moving fields. Unlike this technology, the hydrogel flooding is characterized by creation and evolution of the moving hydrogel field directly in porous medium in result of chemical reaction between the water solutions of two gel-forming components which one after another are injected into the oil reservoir with given time interruption. The first component is sorbed more intensively and moves slower than the second one, so when it gradually overtakes the first solution, they begin chemically react with creation of hydrogel. Special numerical methods, algorithms and computer software are developed to solve these systems of nonlinear equations, study and compare an efficiency of the oil field development at the different type of waterflooding. It is shown that creations of the moving polymer or hydrogel fields significantly increases the uniformity of oil displacement in all layers of reservoir and improve their basic exploitation parameters due to the cross-flows between layers and creation of the moving structures in the velocity field of two-phase flow. In doing so, hydrogel technology may be much more effectiveness in comparison with polymer flooding.

Distribution Laws

The study on distribution laws of remaining oil in high water cut stage is the difficulty of oil field development in the mid-to late period. Aiming at the long development time of Western Bei 2 area of Saertu oilfield in Daqing Oilfield and its complicated well history conditions undergone water flooding, polymer flooding and steam flooding, the 3D geological static model has been established in this test area based on the study on its structure characteristics and sedimentary features. By applying the method of fine reservoir numerical simulation, the paper completes the numerical simulation of remaining oil in the test area and summarizes types of remaining oil as well as their distribution laws in the test area, which provides a reliable basis for the further deployment and adjustment measures in the oilfield.

High Viscosity Oil

One of the chemical methods of stimulating the reservoir to increase the efficiency of the oil field development process is polymer flooding. This article conducted a feasibility study of the effectiveness of the application of polymer flooding technology in one field in Western Kazakhstan. This field is characterized by high viscosity of reservoir oil, water cut, and dynamic heterogeneity of the reservoir. World experience in the application of polymer flooding in analogous fields shows high technological efficiency. Presented results of the analysis of the experience of applying technology in analogous fields, physicochemical studies of polymers, filtration studies on bulk models, hydrodynamic modeling of polymer flooding and the expected cost-effectiveness of introducing the technology, as applied to the conditions of the Karazhanbas oil field with high viscosity of reservoir oil. The analysis based on the experience of applying polymer flooding in high-viscosity oil fields, laboratory studies and estimated calculations of the expected production in the sector geological and hydrodynamic model shows a decrease in water cut, an increase in oil production, and an increase in current and final oil recovery.

Field Development

First oil production from a deep-water oil field is to be achieved by the installation of an initial development system (IDS). Well testing is required for field development and reservoir management. The well testing system requires high-accuracy oil and water rates to provide the data needed for decision analysis in ongoing drilling programs. The well testing system must also be integrated with other platform operations, such as well cleanup after drilling. We introduce here, the concept of a multiphase meter in series with conventional separation technology for improved process control. This feedback control loop configuration is simulated in MATLAB and shown to extend the capabilities of both technologies. The principle of gas volume fraction control in two-phase separator liquid lines is shown to be supplementary to conventional level control systems for performance enhancement of oil field well testing. Concepts demonstrated here can also be easily applied as retrofits to existing separation facilities, which show accuracy or upset problems.
