Heavy Oil Reservoir

With the continuous exploitation of most reservoirs in China, the proportion of heavy oil reservoirs increases, and the development difficulty is greater than that of conventional reservoirs. In view of the important subject of how to improve the recovery factor of heavy oil reservoir, the thermal recovery technology (hot water flooding, steam flooding, steam assisted gravity drainage SAGD and steam huff and puff) and cold recovery technology (chemical flooding, electromagnetic wave physical flooding and microbial flooding) used in the development of heavy oil reservoir are summarized. The principle of action is analyzed, and the main problems restricting heavy oil recovery are analyzed The main technologies of heavy oil recovery are introduced from the aspects of cold recovery and hot recovery. Based on the study of a large number of literatures, and according to the development trend of heavy oil development, suggestions and prospects for the future development direction are put forward.

Based on the issue of enhancing oil recovery of heavy oil reservoir after steam injection, this paper studied the development characteristics of hot water flooding in different rhythm (positive rhythm, anti-rhythm, complex rhythm) reservoir after steam drive by means of physical simulation. The research shows that the positive rhythm reservoir has a large swept volume with steam flooding under the influence of steam overlay and steam channeling. Anti-rhythm reservoir has a large swept volume with hot water flooding, because hot water firstly flows along the high permeability region in upper part of the reservoir, in the process of displacement, hot water migrates to the bottom of reservoir successively for its higher density.

Stimulation Technique

In this paper, a reservoir simulation study was conducted for the characterization and prediction of gas breakthrough during the development of cyclic steam and gas stimulation (CSGS) for a horizontal well. A new concept named the gas breakthrough coefficient (GBC) was proposed to characterize the gas breakthrough degree quantitatively, and a regression model and two calibration curves were established to predict the gas breakthrough degree. The method of foam plugging to inhibit gas breakthrough was also discussed. It was found that the gas breakthrough degree could be well characterized by the GBC and distinguished as four types: weak, moderate, strong, and severe. The regression model and calibration curves could also be used to predict the gas breakthrough degree under different reservoir and development conditions. Foam plugging was found to be effective to inhibit gas breakthrough when the gas breakthrough degree was moderate or strong.
