The article discusses one of the most promising oil recovery methods - sidetracking (sidetracking), explores the development status of formation that use this method, and justifies the selection of candidate wells for its implementation. Based on the example of the Variogan field, the effectiveness of the sidetracking operations was determined depending on the increase in well production. Using the obtained dependence, we can estimate the rate of increase in cumulative oil production.

The results of a pilot application of a chemical composition for enhanced oil recovery developed at the IPC SB RAS are presented. The EOR-composition was tested in 2014 at the Permian-Carboniferous heavy oil deposit at the Usinskoye oil field. It is very effective for an increase in oil production rate and decrease in water cuttings of well production. In terms of the additionally produced oil, the resulting effect is up to 800 tons per well and its duration is up to 6 months. The application of technologies of low-productivity-well stimulation using the oil-displacing IKhNPRO system with controlled viscosity and alkalinity is thought to be promising. This composition is proposed for the cold’ stimulation of high-viscosity oil production as an alternative to thermal methods.

In recent years, in the oil production industry there is a tendency of mass use of stationary multiphase metering units for determining oil, water, and associated gas flow rates in the recoverable well production. Automated group metering units, allowing to cover the whole group of wells in rotation metering mode, became widespread. The necessity of equipping wells with individual or group measuring devices is dictated, first of all, by the economic tasks of improving oil recovery factor and production optimization. In these conditions, the task of periodic verification of stationary measuring devices in the field with the help of mobile standards-measuring devices of higher accuracy class becomes urgent. The standard’s mobility and the need to work in the field with fluids of different composition significantly complicates the task of creating such a device. The practicality and economy of the created units first of all depends on a choice of a measuring method determining the design of the unit. This article analyzes the existing types of equipment for measuring oil, gas, and water consumption at the oil production wells. Showing the main advantages and disadvantages of each of them, this paper proves the necessity of using complex solutions based on different physical principles to improve the accuracy of measurements. The authors have proposed a combined scheme of a mobile standard of the 2nd category with a dynamic method for measuring the phase rates at the core. The unit performs a multi-stage partial separation of the input multiphase flow into liquid and gas phases and determines the fractions of water and oil in the liquid stream using a hydrostatic-type mixture composition analyzer. In addition, this article indicates the ways of increasing the accuracy of the measuring installation.

Abstract Well production rates decline quickly in the tight reservoirs, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is needed to increase productivity. Conventional flooding from adjacent wells is inefficient in the tight formations, and Huff-n-Puff also fails to achieve the expected productivity. This paper investigates the feasibility of the inter-fracture injection and production (IFIP) method to increase oil production rates of horizontal wells. Three multi-fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs) are included in a cluster well. The fractures with even and odd indexes are assigned to be injection fractures (IFs) and recovery fractures (RFs). The injection/production schedule includes synchronous inter-fracture injection and production (s-IFIP) and asynchronous inter-fracture injection and production (a-IFIP). The production performances of three MFHWs are compared by using four different recovery approaches based on numerical simulation. Although the number of RFs is reduced by about 50% for s-IFIP and a-IFIP, they achieve much higher oil rates than depletion and CO2 Huff-n-Puff. The sensitivity analysis is performed to investigate the impact of parameters on IFIP. The spacing between IFs and RFs, CO2 injection rates, and connectivity of fracture networks affect oil production significantly, followed by the length of RFs, well spacing among MFHWs, and the length of IFs. The suggested well completion scheme for the IFIP methods is presented. This work discusses the ability of the IFIP method in enhancing the oil production of MFHWs.

A lithofacies model of the Fainsk oil field YUS11 formation was built. The results of interventions for oil production stimulation and enhanced oil recovery depending on the section penetrated by wells were considered. Criteria for selection of various types of interventions in particular geophysical conditions were given, and recommendations on the selection of technologies for bottomhole zone processing (BZP) and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) were made. The research objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions in terms of enhanced oil recovery, adapted to the specific features of the field geologic structure aspects. Through the use of sedimentary deposits facies analysis method, a lithofacies model of the Fainsk oil field YUS11 formation was constructed. The application of field-geologic analysis gave an option to evaluate the technological effectiveness of interventions for oil production stimulation and enhanced oil recovery depending on the reservoir units genesis penetrated by wells.

Oil well paraffin is one problem that often occurs in oil production; it will seriously affect or even suspend production. There are many kinds of paraffin prevention technologies, but limited to particular conditions or other factors, there are still shortcomings and insufficiency of all these technologies. In order to make this process environmental, efficient and energy saving, we propose the technique of variable frequency electromagnetic field paraffin. According to the principle of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, the reciprocal transformation of electromagnetic field and magnetic field intensity are determined by diameter of coil, current intensity, as well as the turn number of coils. The optimal parameter for paraffin prevention is defined by the selection of the current intensity and frequency of the conversion electromagnetic field in the laboratory so as to achieve optimum efficiency of paraffin prevention. Judging from the practice in three wells in site, this technology can extend flushing period, increase oil production, reduce power consumption and improve efficiency of oil well production, so the application of this technology has a very broad and bright prospect.

The recently developed smart well technology allows for sectionalized production control by means of downhole inflow control valves and monitoring devices. We consider borehole radars as permanently installed downhole sensors to monitor fluid evolution in reservoirs, and it provides the possibility to support a proactive control for smart well production. To investigate the potential of borehole radar on monitoring reservoirs, we establish a 3D numerical model by coupling electromagnetic propagation and multiphase flow modeling in a bottom-water drive reservoir environment. Simulation results indicate that time-lapse downhole radar measurements can capture the evolution of water and oil distributions in the proximity (order of meters) of a production well, and reservoir imaging with an array of downhole radars successfully reconstructs the profile of a flowing water front. With the information of reservoir dynamics, a proactive control procedure with smart well production is conducted. This method observably delays the water breakthrough and extends the water-free recovery period. To assess the potential benefits that borehole radar brings to hydrocarbon recovery, three production strategies are simulated in a thin oil rim reservoir scenario, i.e., a conventional well production, a reactive production, and a combined production supported by borehole radar monitoring. Relative to the reactive strategy, the combined strategy further reduces cumulative water production by 66.89%, 1.75%, and 0.45% whereas it increases cumulative oil production by 4.76%, 0.57%, and 0.31%, in the production periods of 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years, respectively. The quantitative comparisons reflect that the combined production strategy has the capability of accelerating oil production and suppressing water production, especially in the early stage of production. We suggest that borehole radar is a promising reservoir monitoring technology, and it has the potential to improve oil recovery efficiency.
