A CHANGE IN OIL VISCOSITY DURING CRUDE OIL PRODUCTION INFLUENCE ON THE SOLUTIONS OF COUNTER-CURRENT CAPILLARY
In this article we construct a modification of the model of counter-current capillary imbibition with oil viscosity dependent on dynamic water saturation. This approach corresponds to the approximate modeling of the complex composition of hydrocarbon fluid and taking into account the fact that a change in oil viscosity is recorded in some fields with an increase in the share of water in the extracted liquid at different stages of oil field development. The behavior of solutions under variation of model parameters is studied numerically. It is shown that the leaching of lighter fractions of oil at the first stages of operation as a whole increases the terms of achievement of project indicators. The influence of gravity on capillary washing of hard-to-reach places is analyzed.
