AbstractWater injection is an effective method for developing low permeability sandstone reservoirs. In the process of water flooding, reservoir damage can occur due to clay mineral content changes and it will significantly affect oil production. There are few investigations on the changes in clay mineral content and the degree of reservoir damage after injecting the water into low permeability sandstone reservoirs with different permeabilities and lithologies. In this study, low permeability natural cores from different lithological strata were collected from 4 wells in the Daqing sandstone reservoir, and clay mineral components and contents were measured through X-ray diffraction. Changes in the clay mineral content were determined after water injection. The reservoir damage mechanism by clay mineral migration was determined by analyzing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images after water injection. Meanwhile, the porosity and permeability of the cores were tested after water injection, and the degree of reservoir damage in different lithological strata was determined. The clay mineral content ranges from 6.78 to 14.14% in low permeability sandstone cores and declines by 49.73% after water flooding. Illite, chlorite and illite/smectite mostly decrease, and kaolinite decreases the least. Due to the large particle size of kaolinite, kaolinite migration will block the pore-throats and cause formation damage after water flooding. In argillaceous siltstone and siltstone, kaolinite particles blocking pore-throats are very serious, and the permeability decreases greatly by 21.87–36.89% after water injection. With increasing permeability, the permeability decreases greatly after water injection. The findings of this study can help to better understand the mechanisms of formation damage after injecting water into low permeability sandstone reservoirs.

Ultralow Permeability

Low-permeability to ultralow-permeability reservoirs of the China National Petroleum Corporation are crucial to increase the reserve volumes and the production of crude oil in the present and future times. This study aimed to address the two major technical bottlenecks faced by the low-permeability to ultralow-permeability reservoirs by a comprehensive use of technologies and methods such as rate-controlled mercury injection, nuclear magnetic resonance, conventional logging, physical simulation, numerical simulation, and field practices. The reservoir characteristics of low-permeability to ultralow-permeability reservoirs were first analyzed. The water flooding development adjustment mode in the middle and high water-cut stages for the low-permeability to ultralow-permeability reservoirs, where water is injected along the fracture zone and lateral displacement were established. The formation mechanism and distribution principles of dynamic fractures, residual oil description, and expanding sweep volume were studied. The development mode for Type II ultralow-permeability reservoirs with a combination of horizontal well and volume fracturing was determined; this led to a significant improvement in the initial stages of single-well production. The volume fracturing core theory and optimization design, horizontal well trajectory optimization adjustment, horizontal well injection-production well pattern optimization, and horizontal well staged fracturing suitable for reservoirs with different characteristics were developed. This understanding of the reservoir characteristics and the breakthrough of key technologies for effective development will substantially support the oil-gas valent weight of the Changqing Oilfield to exceed 50 million tons per year, the stable production of the Daqing Oilfield with 40 million tons per year (oil-gas valent weight), and the realization of 20 million tons per year (oil-gas valent weight) in the Xinjiang Oilfield.

Gel System

For the large pores and cracks of reservoirs with low temperatures, high salinity, and low permeability, a new type of high strength gel ABP system is developed in this paper. The defects of conventional gels such as weak gel strength, no gelling, and easy dehydration are overcome under the conditions of low temperature and high salinity. The temperature and salt resistance, plugging characteristics, and EOR of the gel system are studied. Under the condition of 32°C and 29500 mg/L salinity, the ABP system formulation is for 0.3% crosslinking agent A + 0.09% coagulant B + 3500 mg/L polymer solution P. The results show that when the temperature was increased, the delayed crosslinking time of the system was shortened and the gel strength was increased. The good plugging characteristics of the ABP system were reached, and the plugging rate was greater than 99% in cores with different permeability. A good profile control performance was achieved, and the recovery rate was improved by 19.27% on the basis of water flooding. In the practical application of the gel system, the salinity of formation water and the permeability of fractures are necessary to determine the appropriate formulation.

Inefficient reserves in fault block belongs to low permeability thin interbed, thus water flooding development process has exposed many contradictions which are serious heterogeneity, large difference of suction of interlayer. Entering the water injection development, the injected water which rapidly advance along the high permeability channel causes water channeling and water flooding, which intenses development contradictions between layers. The reservoir numerical simulation technology on computer can reappear the movement of water and gas in the underground reservoir development process and describes the underground remaining oil distribution of inefficient reserves in complex fault block, which summarizes the remaining oil distribution rule of the water flooding development for complex fault block of inefficient reserves and provides basis for the establishment of oil field development adjustment scheme.
