The western South-eight block which is located in the comprehensive tap demonstration area of NO.2 oil production plant, has already gone through three years’ fine development. The production has been stable, the rising amplitude of comprehensive water cut has been small, and the natural decline rate has been controlled effectively. But with the deep development, this block has gone into the late ultra-high water cut stage. To maintain high efficient water flooding development is more and more difficult, therefore fine 3D geological modeling and reservoir numerical simulation work have been carried out. And some practical residual oil saturation diagrams have been put forward finally towards this block, which has provided a reliable basis for the next oilfield development.

To investigate the characteristics of oil distribution in porous media systems during a high water cut stage, sandstones with different permeability scales of 53.63 × 10−3 μm2 and 108.11 × 10−3 μm2 were imaged under a resolution of 4.12 μm during a water flooding process using X-ray tomography. Based on the cluster-size distribution of oil segmented from the tomography images and through classification using the shape factor and Euler number, the transformation of the oil distribution pattern in different injection stages was studied for samples with different pore structures. In general, the distribution patterns of an oil cluster continuously change during water injection. Large connected oil clusters break off into smaller segments. The sandstone with a higher permeability (108.11 × 10−3 μm2) shows the larger change in distribution pattern, and the remaining oil is trapped in the pores with a radius of approximately 7–12 μm. Meanwhile, some disconnected clusters merge together and lead to a re-connection during the high water cut period. However, the pore structure becomes compact and complex, the residual nonwetting phase becomes static and is difficult to move; and thus, all distribution patterns coexist during the entire displacement process and mainly distribute in pores with a radius of 8–12 μm. For the pore-scale entrapment characteristics of the oil phase during a high water cut period, different enhance oil recovery (EOR) methods should be considered in sandstones correspondent to each permeability scale.

In Sabei Development Area, with the developments of oilfield infill wells, the production targets of each set of well nets went bad and had interleaved distributions with old well patterns. At the same time, polymer flooding well patterns made the conflict of cohesion and dynamic regulation outstanding. Especially, Beierdong, which was the earliest block using infill drilling modification, got the good development effect at beginning, however, with the progress of oilfield development, there were some troubles in the development period with extra high water, such as long section of perforation, obvious inconsistencies between formations and high water of layers, which brought difficulties to dynamically adjusting. To fully exploit the remaining oil potential, this paper selected 1.30 km2 west blocks in Beierdong, made tests about sediment group restructuring to improve water flooding development effect, redistribute the series of strata and redistribute the flooding network according to the characteristics of development between the layers, combined comprehensive consideration with follow-up adjustment such as primary network, injection production system and type II reservoir the tertiary oil production, optimized the layers combination and well patterns arrangement, finally formed technical ideas of high water cut layers adjustment and well nets evolution.

The multi-layer co-exploitation method is often used in offshore oilfields because of the large spacing between the injection and production wells. As oilfields gradually enter the high water-cut stage, the contradiction between the horizontal and vertical directions becomes more prominent, and the distribution of the remaining oil is more complex. Oilfields are facing unprecedented challenges in further enhancing oil recovery. Using oilfield A, which is in the high water-cut stage, as the research object, we compiled a detailed description of the remaining oil during the high water-cut stage using the information collected during the comprehensive adjustment and infilling of the oilfield. In addition various techniques for tapping the potential reservoir, stabilizing the oil, and controlling the water were investigated. A set of key techniques for the continuous improvement of the efficiency of water injection after comprehensive adjustment of high water-cut fields was generated. Based on the determined configuration of the offshore deltaic reservoir, a set of detailed descriptive methods and tapping technology for extracting the remaining oil in the offshore high water-cut oilfield after comprehensive adjustment was established. By considering the equilibrium displacement and using a new quantitative characterization method that includes displacement, a new technique for determining the quantity of water that needs to be injected into a stratified injection well during the high water-cut stage was established. Based on the principle of flow field intensity reconfiguration, a linear, variable-intensity, alternating injection and withdrawal technique was proposed. With the application of this series of techniques, the increase in the water content was controlled to within 1%, the natural reduction rate was controlled to within 9%, and the production increased by 1.060 × 107 m3.

With the deepening of the oilfield development, oil field has entered the high water cut period. The rate of water cut increasing and production decline are accelerate. It is needed to adjust the way of exploitation in order to improve oilfield exploitation effect. Cyclic water flooding is one of effective means to improve oilfield development effect with the advantages of small investment, quick effect, reduce inefficient output and improve oilfield overall development benefit. In this paper, we use the means of numerical simulation to study the injection timing and reasonable working systems of different types of Wells. Technical basis is provided for further study and field test.

The remaining oil distribution is very complex and the difficulty in tapping measures is more and more big when the west block of South-eight area has gone into the ultra-high water cut stage. So the remaining oil distribution in 109 units has been comprehensively studied on the condition that the composite water cut reaches 9.06% by establishing reservoir geologic model and proceeding reservoir numerical simulation according to recent tapping measures and remaining oil analysis experience in the process of adjusting scheme. And combined with some reservoir engineering methods such as: waterflooding characteristic curve and material balance method, obvious effects has been obtained in this research.

East Xing Six District of Daqing oilfield development has 50 years of history, the block has entered high well density, high water cut stage. The apricot East Xing Six District demonstration zone development belongs to the continental sedimentary system, it has reservoir types and physical properties have large differences, It was long-term effected by injected water, after water flooding, water degree condition becomes very complex and unpredictable, so the washing condition analysis is an important guarantee for Daqing oilfield stable production. Using the oil field sealed coring well data, various types of reservoirs washing degree thickness change and growth are analyzed, We can know that with the further water flooding development and well pattern infilling, all kinds of oil reservoir production status; and then analyzes the potential distribution of the oilfields, and provides a basis for the development of the block and the adjustment of the next step of work, has an important guiding significance.
