Forecasting Salt Deposit in the Bottom Zone of Oil Production Wells

Abstract

The processes of formation inorganic salts in the bottomhole formation zone contribute to the deterioration of its filtration-capacity properties and significantly reduce the productivity of oil producing wells. Analysis of the studies made it possible to identify the main indicators on which the decrease in the permeability of rocks due to salt deposition during water-flooding mainly depends. The paper proposes a thermodynamic model developed to predict the processes of salt deposition in the bottomhole zone of oil producing wells.

Features of the Application of Macromolecular Compounds in the Oil Industry

“…Эти составы содержат синтетические полимеры, такие как полиакрилат натрия и поливинилсульфонат натрия, а также полифосфаты, фосфаты, органические фосфонаты и т.д. Эффективность добавки определяется тем, насколько она может задерживать выпадение осадков в заданный интервал времени [52].…”

Ensuring the safety of chemical dosing

“…When moving in the reverse direction, the side parts of the flow are deflected by the plates and directed at an obtuse angle to the central part of the flow. As a result of interaction of flows there is considerable narrowing of flow, which results in formation of compressed section below hole between plates [2].…”
