Oil recovery enhancement by reservoir hydraulic compression technique employment
Industrial experiment works (IEW) were carried out to study the mechanism of filtration and reservoir properties changes (FRP) in the process of wells swabbing. Based on the hydrodynamic studies, the results of the works are analyzed. A method for oil production enhancing by reservoirs hydraulic compression has been worked out. In the process of well swabbing the barograms were recorded, pressure recovery curves were taken with the determination of hydraulic conductivity and piezoconductivity values, potential productivity coefficients, well flow rate, reservoir pressure before and after exposure. The interpretation of hydrodynamic studies was carried out by the deterministic analysis with subsequent modeling of the situation. The reservoir, opened by the perforation interval, is of complex structure, as a result of which the liquid was absorbed by the interlayer located above the area with newly formed microcracks.
