Secondary Oil Recovery

Kenkiyak oilfield in kazakstan is a low porosity, extremely low permeability and overpressure carbonate reservoir. There are different reservoir and fracture characteristics in different region. The formation pressure decline seriously and water cannot be injected into the low permeability zone. Referring to the domestic and oversea research achievement, integrating regional geologic characteristics, numerical simulation results and reservoir engineering research results, we optimize a series of the development technology policy, including the reasonable gas and water injection modes and injection opportunity, the suitable well patterns and well spacing. Meanwhile, the development mode of energy supplement in the extremely low permeability and overpressure reservoir is explored.

Development Technology

There are poor physical properties and insufficient natural energy in the low-permeability and low-pressure reservoir of the Yangbaishan Block. Early this reservoir was mined by natural energy with a serious producing energy deficit. Subsequently, it was developed with mild water injection. During the water injection development, water quickly slid into the oil well along the crack, oil production decreased sharply and water content increased rapidly in the oil well, the water flooded well and the ineffective well gradually increased. Therefore, based on the reservoir geological characteristics, principle of injection and production balance is used to optimize reasonably for the development technology policy. Research indicates that the square inverted nine spot flooding pattern is recommended with a reasonable injection well direction of NE 72°and technical well spacing of 150 m. Reasonable injection-production ratio should be 2.16, reasonable technical well pattern density is 23 wells per square kilometer, and the average daily water injection rate of single well should be 11 m3. When injection-production system and injection proration are improved, water drive controlled degree is expected to increase by 16 %. This research can provide reference for the efficient development and safety management of other similar reservoirs.

The One

Because the development of ultra-low permeability reservoir is relative to fracture system, suitable well pattern arrangement is very significant for effective flooding management. There were three kinds of well pattern used to waterflood in Changqing oilfield: square inverted nine-spot, rhombus inverted nine-spot and rectangular five-spot pattern, according to the degree of fracture growth. In view of the defects of these well patterns in the development of ultra-low permeability reservoirs, a new well spacing concept is developed. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the adaptability and strong points of this new well pattern. For this well pattern, on the one hand, the distance between producers and injectors along the fracture direction is widened and thus massive fracturing can be conducted to enhance oil productivity and water injection, and on the other hand, a high producer/injector ratio ensures high oil recovery rate in early stage. Besides, this new well pattern has a great ability of adjustment. Field application showed a remarkably well producing performance.

Low Permeability Reservoirs

Due to the common problems of waterflood in low-permeability reservoirs, the reasearch of finely layered water injection is carried out. This paper established the finely layered water injection standard in low-permeability reservoirs and analysed the sensitivity of engineering parameters as well as evaluated the effect of the finely layered water injection standard in Block A with the semi-quantitative to quantitative method. The results show that: according to the finely layered water injection standard, it can be divided into three types: layered water injection between the layers, layered water injection in inner layer, layered water injection between fracture segment and no-fracture segment. Under the guidance of the standard, it sloved the problem of uneven absorption profile in Block A in some degree and could improve the oil recovery by 3.5%. The sensitivity analysis shows that good performance of finely layered water injection in Block A requires the reservoir permeability ratio should be less than 10, the perforation thickness should not exceed 10 m, the amount of layered injection layers should be less than 3, the surface injection pressure should be below 14 MPa and the injection rate shuold be controlled at about 35 m3/d.

Oil recovery by water injection is the most extended technology in the world for additional recovery, however, formation heterogeneity can turn it into highly inefficient and expensive by channeling injected water. This work presents a chemical option that allows controlling the channeling of important amounts of injection water in specific layers, or portions of layers, which is the main explanation for low efficiency in many secondary oil recovery processes. The core of the stages presented here is using partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) cross linked with a metallic ion (Cr+3), which, at high concentrations in the injection water (5000 – 20000 ppm), generates a rigid gel in the reservoir that forces the injected water to enter into the formation through upswept zones. The use of the stages presented here is a process that involves from experimental evaluation for the specific reservoir to the field monitoring, and going through a strict control during the well intervention, being this last step an innovation for this kind of treatments. This paper presents field cases that show positive results, besides the details of design, application and monitoring.

Channeling Flow

Channeling flow frequently occurs during the high pressure water injection of low permeability reservoir. The injection process is complex and covers so many parameters of which the contribution to channeling flow is necessarily to be studied. In this paper, numerical simulation is combined with sensitivity analysis method to calculate the significance of the weight of parameters to the channeling flow. First the values of different parameters are produced by using Latin hypercube method; second, by using these parameters, finite element model have been established and simulated, and the quantity of channeling flow has been calculated; then Spearman rank relation is applied to measure the relation of parameters and channeling flow. The results states that, in 10 years continuous injection, the well spacing and injection pressure have significant impact on the channeling flow. This states that during the application of high pressure water injection, the pressure and well spacing should be controlled especially.

SiO2 nano-powder is a new type of augmented injection agent, has the ability of stronger hydrophobicity and lipophilicity, and can be adsorbed on the rock surface so that it changes the rock wettability. It can expand the pore radius effectively, reduce the flow resistance of injected water in the pores, enhance water permeability, reduce injection pressure and augment injection rate. Using artificial cores which simulated geologic conditions of a certain factory of Daqing oilfield, decompression and augmented injection experiments of SiO2 nano-powder were performed after waterflooding, best injection volume of SiO2 nano-powder under the low-permeability condition was selected. It has shown that SiO2 nano-powder inverted the rock wettability from hydrophilicity to hydrophobicity. Oil recovery was further enhanced after waterflooding. With the injection pore volume increasing, the recovery and decompression rate of SiO2 nano-powder displacement increased gradually. The best injected pore volume and injection concentration is respectively 0.6PV and 0.5%, the corresponding value of EOR is 6.84% and decompression rate is 52.78%. According to the field tests, it is shown that, in the low-permeability oilfield, the augmented injection technology of SiO2 nano-powder could enhance water injectivity of injection wells and reduce injection pressure. Consequently, it is an effective method to resolve injection problems for the low-permeability oilfield.
