Currently, during the opening and testing of productive formations, as well as during repair work in wells, specialized water- or oil-based technical fluids are used. All of them are characterized by compatibility to varying degrees with the lithological and physical properties of reservoirs in Western Siberia and have different effects on the filtration properties of the porous reservoir of productive formations. It is known that when using fresh water-based drilling fluids, due to the interaction of the fresh water filtrate with rock cement and some rock-forming minerals, the permeability of the bottom-hole zone changes. The paper presents the results of an experimental study of the effect of drilling fluids on terrigenous rocks of one of the fields. The impact of drilling fluids on the core, with the exception of FLO-PRO and NaCl, led to a decrease in the oil-permeability of core samples. In the core of the terrigenous reservoir, filtering FLO-PRO does not cause a negative result. The curves of permeability changes with increasing filtration pressure before and after FLO-PRO flow are identical in dynamics. According to the results of the study, it can be concluded that technical fluids FLO-PRO and IES (invert emulsion solutions) can be recommended for use as they do not violate the structure of the pore space of the reservoir and do not lead to a significant decrease in oil-permeability of all core layers.
Effective reservoir development and economically viable development of high-viscosity oil require experience and comprehensive experimental studies on the physical modeling of oil recovery processes using various technologies and displacement agents. The article discusses the filtration processes occurring in the reservoir during the injection of high-pressure water vapor. The results of the filtration experiments show that increasing the temperature to 90 °C makes it possible to effectively displace viscous oil from the reservoir models, while the displacement coefficient reaches 76 % after pumping 1.59 pore volumes of distilled water. It should be noted that the injection of low or demineralized aqueous fluids at reservoir temperature and pressure leads to rapid swelling of clay minerals of the formation rock, attenuation of filtration and loss of reservoir properties of the rock.
The article describes an approach to the production of difficult to extract oil, confined to deposits with low poroperm properties, using a system of horizontal wells and hydraulic multistage fracturing. The main problems that arise during the development of the well are analyzed. A conclusion is reached on the possibility of continuing to apply the method based on the analysis of pilot tests.
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.
