CJSC "ROSPAN INTERNATIONAL", a subsidiary of OAO "NK" Rosneft ", is currently engaged in the preparation for full-scale development of oil fields in Yamal and the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. One of these fields – Tagulskoye, located in the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Infrastructure and road network in the area of the field is absent. Transportation of goods is carried out on the winter road in the summer – water and helicopter transport. Developed by the near field – Vankorskoye, located 45 km to the north. Active research field began in 2009 with the implementation of the pilot area number 1 (section pilot development). In 2009–2010, drilled five wells, including four with horizontal shaft. Conducted in 2010–2013 set of studies aimed at reducing the geological, technological risks, optimize system design to improve the reliability of the forecast of technical and economic indicators. The article summarizes the main results of pilot projects, analyze their performance. A comparison of predicted and actual characteristics of reservoirs, mining potential wells. The approach to preparing the fields to infrastructure constraints.
Russkoye oil field with gas cap, discovered in 1968, is one of the biggest high-viscous oil fields in Russia. It is a challenging field to develop commercially because of its geological complexity, unconsolidated formations, permafrost zone, and high heterogeneous compartmentalized reservoir with a large gas cap, active bottom aquifer, and remote location from main infrastructure. Consequently, a "generic modeling" approach was developed to evaluate the feasibility application of the following Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques for this field: cold waterflood, hot waterflood, Water Alternating Gas (WAG), polymers and Alkaline-Surfactant-Polymer (ASP) injection. The generic model consists of two main parts: a simulation model and a response surface model (RSM) equation. The simulation model was constructed with uncertainty parameters to represent any combination of reservoir properties and any reservoir situation: large and small gas caps and just oil rim with bottom aquifer. Sensitivity analysis performed for selecting the most influencing parameters. Then a reasonably broad variation of the key parameters considered to successfully constructing the RSM equation. The Monte-Carlo technique was applied to get stochastic production profiles, which enable a rapid and reliable forecast of cumulative production, injection and recovery factor ranges. The five field development technologies selected were analyzed using this generic modeling approach, prior to the commercial field development to maximize the recoverable reserves. Probabilistic profiles were estimated, taking into account the risk associated with the uncertainty in order to compare and rank selected EOR methods. The generic modeling approach enables to make recommendations for data acquisition strategy in order to mitigate the influence of the key uncertainties on the commercial development. This approach gives to an engineer fast forecasting tool for estimation of production profiles by changing of boundaries of uncertainty parameters which reflects the change of circumstances after new data acquisition process conducted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
