Selecting a Technology to Increase well Capacity and Enhance Oil Recovery of the YUS₁¹ Formation of the Fainsk Oil Field

Abstract

To increase the development efficiency of reservoirs, methods to intensify inflows and enhance oil recovery are applied. The geological and field experience of applying these methods shows that a high technological effect can be reached in specific geological and geophysical conditions while in other conditions efficiency will be insignificant. In this relation, an important solution for this problem is the justification of selecting the most efficient technologies of stimulating pay zones. The research objective is to select the most optimal technologies of stimulating pay zones to increase the development scope and enhance oil recovery. Using geological and field analysis, a complex quantitative assessment was done for the efficiency of using methods to enhance oil recovery and stimulate pay zones in both production and injection wells.

Heat-Resistant CO2 Foam for Promoting Carbon Capture and Enhanced Oil Recovery

“…Figure 1 exhibits a visual foam performance test device used in this study. According to the experimental protocol, certain concentration of foaming agent solution was pre-configured, and the foam was prepared by the Waring Blender experimental method (Aleksandrov et al, 2018). The air tightness of the experimental equipment was first evaluated, and then the foam evaluation device (Model: Foam Evaluator, China MSC Group, pressure range <32 MPa and temperature range <300 °C) was put into an oven thermostat (temperature range <300 °C).…”
