The Difference

There had been done a regional research about monitoring of injection process in "SMR" field of Central Sumatera Basin using microgravity method. The time-lapse microgravity method is the development of the gravity method (x, y, z) by adding the fourth dimension of time (t). Monitoring is carried out on production fields that have performed EOR (Enchanced Oil Recovery) ie the process of injecting water into the reservoir to push and drain the remnants of oil in the pores of the reservoir rock to the production well. The microgravity data processing is done by finding the difference between observed gravity values between the first and the second measurements, then performing the spectral analysis to separate the anomaly at reservoir depth and noise. The time-lapse microgravity anomaly has a value of -132.28 μGal to 54.89 μGal. Positive anomalies are related to the injection process, whereas the negative anomalies are related to the production process in the study area. Filtering analysis shows that there are two zones of fluid dynamics, which is due to the process of surface water dynamics (groundwater above reservoir) and that occurs in the reservoir. Fluid reduction zones occur in areas with more production wells than injection wells. Density reduction occurs in the reservoir layer at a depth of 600 m to 1000 m with a maximum reduction value of -3.1x10-3 gr / cm3. The gravity time-lapse inversion model shows the existence of several injection wells that are less effective and therefore need to be stopped injecting.

Stress States

<p>Injecting fluid into the formation is an effective solution for improving the permeability and production of a target reservoir. The evaluation of economy and safety of injection process is a challenging issue faced in reservoir engineering [1-2]. As known, the relative magnitude and direction of the principal stresses significantly influence the hydro-mechanical behavior of reservoir rock during fluid injection. However, due to the limitations of current testing techniques, it is still difficult to comprehensively conduct laboratory injection tests under various stress conditions, e.g. triaxial extension stress states [3]. To this end, a series of numerical simulations were carried out on reservoir rock to study the hydro-mechanical changes under different stress states during fluid injection. In this modelling, the saturated rock is first loaded to the target stress state under drainage conditions, and then the stress state is maintained and water is injected from the top end to simulate the reservoir injection process. Particular attention is paid to the difference in hydro-mechanical changes under triaxial compression and extension stresses. This includes the difference of the pore pressure propagation, mean effective stress, volumetric strain, and stress-induced permeability. The numerical results demonstrate that the differential stress will significantly affect the hydro-mechanical behavior of target rock, but the degree of influence is different under the two triaxial stress states. The hydro-mechanical changes caused by the triaxial compression stress states are generally greater than that of extension, but the difference decreases with increasing differential stress, indicating that the increase of the differential stress will weaken the impact of the stress state on the hydro-mechanical response. This study can deepen our understanding of the stress-induced hydro-mechanical coupling process in reservoir injection engineering.</p><p>Keywords: Reservoir injection; Subsurface flow; Hydro-mechanical coupling; Stress state; Triaxial experiment modelling</p><p>[1] Li, X., Lei, X. & Li, Q. 2016.

Biotechnological nutrient flooding was applied to the North block of the Kongdian Oilfield during 2001-2005. The biotechnology involved the injection of a water-air mixture made up of mineral nitrogen and phosphorous salts with the intent of stimulating the growth of indigenous microorganisms. During monitoring of the physico-chemical, microbiological and production characteristics of the North block of the Kongdian bed, it was revealed significant changes took place in the ecosystem as a result of the technological treatment. The microbial oil transformation was accompanied by an accumulation of carbonates, lower fatty acids and biosurfactants in water formations, which is of value to enhanced oil recovery. The microbial metabolites changed the composition of the water formation, favored the diversion of the injected fluid from closed, high permeability zones to upswept zones and improved the sweep efficiency. The results of the studies demonstrated strong hydrodynamic links between the injection wells and production wells. Microbiological monitoring of the deep subsurface ecosystems and the filtration properties of the fluids are well modified, producing 40000 additional tons of oil in the test areas.

The Cranfield field in southwest Mississippi has been under continuous [Formula: see text] injection by Denbury Onshore LLC since 2008. Two 3D seismic surveys were collected in 2007 and 2010. An initial 4D seismic response was characterized after three years of injection, where more than three million tons of [Formula: see text] remain in the subsurface. This interpretation showed coherent seismic amplitude anomalies in some areas that received large amounts of [Formula: see text] but not in others. To understand these effects better, we performed Gassmann substitution modeling at two wells: the 31F-2 observation well and the 28-1 injection well. We aimed to predict a postinjection saturation curve and acoustic impedance (AI) change through the reservoir. Seismic volumes were cross-equalized, well ties to seismic were performed, and AI inversions were subsequently carried out. Inversion results showed that the change in AI is higher than Gassmann substitution predicted for the 28-1 injection well. The time-lapse AI difference predicted by the inversion is similar in magnitude to the difference inferred from a time delay along a marker horizon below the reservoir.

Abstract Elementary borehole- and perforation-stability problems in friable clastic formations for unrestricted fluid flow between reservoir rock and underground opening are treated on the basis of linear poroelastic theory. Thermal stress effects caused by a temperature difference between reservoir and borehole fluids can be predicted from the mathematical similarity of poro- and thermoelasticity. A tension-failure condition applies for the prediction of hydraulic fracture initiation in a formation around injection wells. The resulting equations are partially well-known. Similarly, a uniaxial compression-failure condition should predict perforation failure leading to sand influx in production wells. The major difference between these situations is that, at sufficient depth of burial, the tensile strength of a friable rock mass has only a minor effect on the fracturing pressure level, but the actual value of the compressive strength plays a crucial role in the prediction of sand-influx conditions. Practical suggestions for resolving the latter are given. Introduction This paper discusses borehole- and perforation-stability problems as encountered in friable sandstone formations that have in common free fluid flow between a reservoir and an underground opening. Such a condition prevailsduring fluid production through either casing perforations or open hole andduring injection of fluids into a reservoir for pressure maintenance, gas conservation, tertiary oil recovery, or well stimulation. In the absence of a membrane (such as a filter cake) at the rock/hole interface, the effective stress normal to the rock surface is zero. Rock failure can result either in tension during fluid injection or in compression during fluid production. Because one of the principal effective stresses (the radial stress) is zero and the effect of the intermediate principal effective stress is small, failure is of either the unconfined tension or compression type. Rock failure resulting from fluid production from friable sandstones causes sand-particle influx. Failure caused by fluid injection means either planned or unintentional formation fracturing. The production technologist has to foresee such failure conditions as a function of changes in the stress regime with time. He has to start with a best possible estimate of the initial in-situ state of stress. On the basis of log data and core sample analysis, relevant rock deformation and strength properties must be determined next. Finally, an estimate of changes in the stress field resulting from prolonged production or injection must be made. Problem Areas Formation Particle Influx in Production Wells. Although significant improvements have been made in well-completion techniques aimed at sand-particle retention by both gravel packing and sand consolidation, straightforward production through casing perforations is the preferred production method because of minimum costs and maximum usage of well-flow potential. Moreoever, gravel packing long intervals of strongly deviated holes remains a difficult, expensive operation to perform, while sand consolidation processes for oil wells at temperatures above 75 degrees C [167 degrees F] are not available commercially. Friable formation sands i.e., formations that have some strength of their own-do not necessarily present a sand-influx problem initially. Sand production may develop gradually in time, once total drawdown increases and/or water breakthrough occurs. Deviated boreholes may encounter less favorable stress concentrations around perforations than vertical holes. All in all, it is necessary to predict the sand-influx potential of a well as soon as possible after drilling to serve as a basis for a completion policy. A perforation pattern that both results in production from only the more competent zones and enables delivery of the required well production capacity could be implemented. Formation Fracturing Around Injection Wells. A familiar type of formation failure is fracturing in tension around injection wells. Formation fracturing always occurs when the injection pressure surpasses the formation breakdown pressurei.e., the fluid pressure that brings the hoop stress around the opening in a tension equal to the tensile strength. Once initiated at or below this pressure level (because the formation may contain natural fractures), fracturing proceeds while the injection pressure surpasses the least principal in-situ total stress. The instantaneous shut-in pressure recorded during or after a fracturing job provides the best value of the least principal total stress component. The in-situ state of stress is not necessarily a constant during the production life of a reservoir. Changes both in reservoir pressure and in temperature adjacent to a well affect the local stress field in the formation. The effect of reservoir pressure variations on formation fracturing potential is well-known. Breckels and van Eekelen explicitly account for this effect. It is less recognized that in deeper formations cooling of the borehole surroundings by injection of liquids at near-surface temperature causes reservoir-rock shrinkage, leading to a reduction in both fracture initiation and propagation pressure.

The Difference

This paper contains reservoir simulation study of carbon storage at Gundih field in Central Java Island, Indonesia. Two different cases of injection simulation were performed and analyzed in this paper. The cases represent the conditions when the smallest and largest volumes of CO2areinjected into the subsurface to see the changes of reservoir that happen after the injection processes. The simulation result shows that when a larger amount of CO2 is injected into the targeted reservoir, it will migrate to the peak of anticline structure located in the southeast of CO2 injection well. The displacement of CO2 in the simulation progress shows that it will not reach the fault location. The geological model for synthetic seismogram calculation is then built based on the simulation reservoir result. The furthest displacement of CO2 is calculated on each case and described as the saturated CO2 layers. Forward modeling is performed to create synthetic seismic gather which will be processed to construct seismic section. The difference between the initial seismic section before the injection process and seismic section including saturated CO2 layer after the injection process will be evaluated by the potential of injected CO2 monitoring using time-lapse seismic survey in the Gundih field.

Abstract The work presented in this paper was undertaken to study the effect of pattern configuration on oil recovery by the Maraflood oil-recovery process. The patterns studied are the five-spot and the 4 × 1 line drive. These patterns are obtained by placing infill wells in an existing 10-acre (40 469-m2) waterflooded five-spot pattern to obtain the 2.5-acre (10 117-m2) patterns. The number of infill wells is the same for both the new five-spot and new line-drive configurations and is about three times the number of existing wells. Both patterns have been used successfully in field applications by Marathon before this study. For instance, a line-drive pattern was used in Project 119-R and a five-spot pattern was used in Project 219-R. This work shows that the line drive produces more tertiary oil than the five-spot under otherwise identical reservoir conditions. Breakthrough times and oil rates for line-drive production wells are nearly the same. Meanwhile, five-spot production wells have vastly differing oil breakthrough times and oil rates. Both of the latter effects result from a nonuniform distribution of waterflood residual oil saturation in the field. Our study also shows that if producing wells in each line-drive row are connected by a perfect vertical fracture and if the same is true of the injection wells, the line-drive efficiency will improve very little. Introduction The Maraflood oil-recovery process is a viable enhanced oil-recovery technique. An appraisal of this process and other surfactant-enhanced oil-recovery schemes was reported by Gogarty. Three significant field tests of the Maraflood process were reported by Earlougher et al. In addition, a large-scale field application of this process was presented recently by Howell et al. in field applications of the Maraflood process, both line-drive and five-spot configurations have been used. In our field experience, an existing five-spot waterflood pattern is convened to another five-spot or 4 × 1 line-drive configuration by adding infill wells. The new five-spot or line-drive pattern has an area-per-well spacing of one-fourth of the original waterflood spacing. In practice, the number of infill wells required for both cases is somewhat greater than three times the number of existing wells. As the total number of wells increases, this ratio approaches the theoretical limit of three. In addition to the preceding arrangements of infill wells, many others are possible. In some arrangements, fewer infill wells are required than in our five-spot and 4 × 1 line drive. In such cases, the area per well increases, which generally causes these problems:required injectivity per injection well increases and may not be attainable because of the high viscosity of the injected fluids andthe breakthrough time is delayed. As an example, consider the case where no infill wells are drilled. In addition to the two problems just listed, the micellar/polymer flooding scheme will sweep only those regions that already have been swept well by the waterflood. The regions left unswept by the waterflood also will be left essentially unswept by the micellar/polymer flood. This means that a substantial amount of oil is left in place. Therefore, these types of undesired patterns were not considered in this study. Patterns with more infill wells than those in this study were not considered because of current economic limitations. Because of the likelihood of economic and technical merits, we also considered the placement of long vertical fractures to connect existing waterflood wells in place of infill wells. The fractures were arranged to form a more effective line drive. We emphasize that the patterns studied in this paper are those usually used in micellar/polymer flooding applications. Muskat has reported breakthrough waterflood sweep efficiencies of 72% and 88% for five-spot and 4 × 1 line drive patterns when the mobility ratio is unity. Muskat's results are for ideal plug flow displacement of red water by blue water in a perfectly homogeneous reservoir. SPEJ P. 69^

Alkaline Surfactant Polymer

This study gives the influence laws of abandoned channel, in-layer interlayer, sand body contact relationship on the development effect of the Alkaline Surfactant Polymer (ASP) flooding based on the data of the industry promotion block ( Pu I32、Pu I33 sedimentation), and give out corresponding adjustment strategy at the same time. The result shows that: The ‘abruptly abandoned’ channels have a bad connection with the main channel and possesses a far lower reservoir producing degree (16.1%) than the ‘gradually-abandoned’ channels (79.9%). The injection wells located upon the channel sand need high concentration inject fluid with lower injection rate to handle the polymer breakthrough; The injection wells located between the channels need lower concentration injection; The injection wells located upon the abandoned channels firstly need high concentration injection to achieve the profile control and then inject low concentration fluid to adjust low permeable sublayer; The production wells located upon abandoned channels need timely fracturing measures. By July 2014, water content of this area is 90.7%, oil recovery improved 18.08% and is expected to reach 22.0%. Similar the success experience we get from this area can guide the study of block geologic factors that affect development result and has important guiding significance to the implementation of pointed development adjustment.

Most of the liquid oil of all types estimated today represents the category of heavy-oils. This leads to decrease in oil production and more extraction of water. Enhanced oil recovery is a method using sophisticated techniques that can deal with such sort of oils and alter the original properties of oil. Thermal Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) remains the most frequently used method for extraction of heavy oils. In this work, irreversible changesin rocks that lead to an increase in formation permeability have been studied and, as a result, to an increase in the production flow rate of production wells and for injection wells, an increase in their injectivity. New methods and technologies have been developed for the intensification of thermocyclic well treatments.A computer program based on mathematical model was developed, which allows predicting changes occurring in the well and near the well space. In this model, the main characteristics of the process of cyclic thermal impact on the bottom-hole zone can be used to predict field temperatures in the well and in the formation, as well as changes in the permeability of rocks. To improve the efficiency use of the model and increase the heating zone, a new method of thermal cycling impact on the bottom-hole zone of the well was developed.

Wettability is one factor that influences the enhanced oil recovery. Water-wet surfaces are predicted increasing the oil recovery from the reservoir. Microcellulose has the potential to produce water-wet surfaces. In this experiment, two types of microcellulose were used with different particle sizes of 2.9 μm and 14 μm. Both types of microcellulose are then applied to the reservoir rock surface model, i.e the surface of bentonite which has been soaked in crude oil for one week at 60 °C. Contact angle measurement shows that there is a decrease in water-the reservoir rock surface model contact angle from ~ 90 ° to ~ 80 ° when applied microcellulose solution 0.5% w/w. The difference in microcellulose size causes a difference in contact angle of about 5° at microcellulose solution 2.5%. This shows the application of microcellulose on the reservoir rock surface model causing the surface to be more water-wet.
