Complicated Conditions

Well killing is an important technological stage before conducting workover operation, one of the tasks of which is to preserve and restore the natural filtration characteristics of the bottomhole formation zone (BFZ). Special attention should be paid to the choice of well killing technologies and development of wells in complicated conditions, which include abnormally low reservoir pressure, high oil-gas ratio and carbonate reservoir type. To preserve the filtration characteristics of the productive formation and prevent fluid losses in producing wells during well killing operation, blocking compositions are used. At the same time, an informed choice of the most effective well killing technologies is required. Consequently, there is a need to conduct laboratory physicochemical and coreflood experiments simulating geological, physical, and technological conditions of field development, as similar as possible to actual reservoir conditions. The article presents the results of experimental studies on the development well killing technologies of producing wells during workover operation in various geological, physical, and technological conditions of oil field development. Physicochemical and coreflood laboratory experiments were carried out with the simulation of the processes of well killing and development of wells in reservoir conditions with the use of modern high-technology equipment in the Enhanced Oil Recovery Laboratory of the Department of Development and Operation of Oil and Gas Fields at St. Petersburg Mining University. As a result of the experimental studies, new compositions of well killing and stimulation fluids were developed, which ensure to prevent fluid loss, gas breakthrough, as well as the preservation, restoration and improvement of the filtration characteristics of the BFZ in the conditions of terrigenous and carbonate reservoirs at different stages of oil field development. It is determined that the developed process fluids, which include surfactants (YALAN-E2 and NG-1), have a hydrophobic effect on the porous medium of reservoir rocks, which ultimately contributes to the preservation, restoration and improvement of the filtration characteristics of the BFZ. The value of the presented research results is relevant for practice and confirmed by the fact that, as a result of field tests of the technology for blocking the BFZ with the composition of inverse water–oil emulsion during well killing before workover operation, an improvement in the efficiency of wells operation was obtained in the form of an increase in their oil production rate by an average of 5–10 m3/day, reducing the time required for the well to start operating up to 1–3 days and reducing the water cut of formation fluid by 20–30%.

Abstract For controlling the oil field development proposed an economically efficient express calculation and visualization method of the hydrodynamic parameters current values distribution in the productive formation. The presented report shows the results of applying this technique for determining the injected water propagation direction into the productive formation (X horizon) at the «Neft Dashlary» field. Based on the calculated results, the current distribution of the injected water was visualized in the selected section of the formation. High accuracy of the calculation was confirmed by comparing obtained results with the results of a simultaneous tracer study conducted in the field conditions. During tracer studies it was tested a new tracer material, more effective than its analogs. According to laboratory and experimental studies, the addition of 0.003% of this indicator substance to the volume of injected water is the optimal amount for its recognition in the well's product. At the allocated area of the "Neft Dashlari" field, the benefits from the use of the calculation method amounted to 62.9 thousand manats. Based on the obtained satisfying results of the new method for calculating hydrodynamic parameters and the use of a tracer indicator application at the «Neft Dashlary» oilfield, it is recommended to apply these developments in other oil and gas fields for mass diagnostic of the reservoir fluid distribution in a selected area of productive formations.

The work presented herein is devoted to a unique set of forward and reverse combustion tube (CT) experiments to access the suitability and potential of the in situ combustion (ISC) method for the light oil carbonate reservoir. One forward and one reverse combustion tube tests were carried out using the high-pressure combustion tube (HPCT) experimental setup. However, during reverse combustion, the front moved in the opposite direction to the airflow. The results obtained from experiments such as fuel/air requirements, H/C ratio, and recovery efficiency are crucial for further validation of the numerical model. A quantitative assessment of the potential for the combustion was carried out. The oil recovery of forward combustion was as high as 91.4% of the initial oil in place, while that for the reverse combustion test demonstrated a 43% recovery. In the given conditions, forward combustion demonstrated significantly higher efficiency. However, the stabilized combustion front propagation and produced gases of reverse combustion prove its possible applicability. Currently, there is a limited amount of available studies on reverse combustion and a lack of publications within the last decades despite advances in technologies. However, reverse combustion might have advantages over forward combustion for heavy oil reservoirs with lower permeability or might serve as a reservoir preheating technique. These experiments give the opportunity to build and validate the numerical models of forward and reverse combustion conducted at reservoir conditions and test their field application using different scenarios.

The Vankor oil field is in the third stage of the development. Well stock mostly includes horizontal and directional wells. Analysis of the field development showed that actual development rate is much higher than planned. Energy potential of the field is drained out due to formation pressure decline and water flooding. New technologies for restoring well productivity, such as acid treatment and hydraulic fracturing should be introduced to maintain planned development rate. Drilling multilateral wells should be used as main enhanced oil recovery technique.

Many years have passed in oil field development but primary challenges faced by the X reservoir are the rapid decline of formation pressure and the significant solution gas released from the formation, which impairs production. Based on these challenges, a compositional simulation model of the X reservoir was constructed and run to establish the future development plans. The basic reservoir data collection and processing, quality assurance of the data, characteristic pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) matching by ECLIPSE PVTi, and simulation of various adjustment strategies to forecast development plans, as well as data sensitivity analysis and optimization has been included in this study. In addition, to establish a desirable development plan, the simulation model is set up in great consistency with the geological model resulted from the seismic and logging interpretations. Also, emphases are paid on establishing matches with the reported lab data from production wells by PVTi. Results revealed that the specific reservoir development plan intends to reinstate or maintain formation pressure of the X reservoir. All design and optimization studies are set to comprehend the reservoir with the numerical model.
