Abstract:Mature fields, as a rule, are developed using flooding technology. During long-term operation of field, in order to maintain the fluid flow rate at the same level, it is necessary to increase the bottom-hole pressure of the injector, which, when the pressure of the fracturing is exceeded, leads to the formation of fractures near the injectors. Uncontrolled growth of these fractures can lead to a breakthrough of water through it into the drainage zone of the producer and increase in the water cut of the product… Show more
