Low Permeability Reservoirs

Abstract Unconventional fractured ultra-low-permeability reservoirs play an important role in continental sedimentary basins in China, and their formation characteristics and seepage laws are greatly different from that of traditional reservoirs. In this paper, the influence of microfractures and unsteady waterflooding on the productivity of fractured ultra-low permeability reservoirs are studied deeply. The reservoir parameters used in the study are from an actual fractured ultra-low-permeability reservoir in Ordos Basin, where microfractures are developed but macroscopic fractures are not. The microfractures have a small opening and are widely distributed in the reservoir, so the reservoir numerical simulation model adopts the equivalent continuous matrix model to simulate waterflooding. On one hand, the physical model of micro-fractured reservoir and the permeability tensor model of the equivalent continuous matrix are established. The results show that the existence of microfractures can increase the permeability of matrix by 1.4 times. On the other hand, an ideal heterogeneous numerical simulation model composed of pure matrix and equivalent continuous matrix considering microfracture is established according to actual geological parameters of the fractured ultra-low-permeability reservoir. To simulate and compare the unsteady waterflooding and continuous waterflooding development in 10-year development under the condition of constant annual injection rate, the results indicate that unsteady waterflooding development make higher productivity and lower water cut and lower formation water saturation than that of continuous waterflooding. By conducting unsteady waterflooding development simulation for sensitivity analysis, the results demonstrate that the greater the capillary force, the better the role of capillary imbibition in a certain range, meanwhile, the unsteady waterflooding has the best exploitation effect when the value of water injection cycle time is 100 days and the fluctuation amplitude of water injection rate is 1. At the above situation, the displacement and capillary imbibition and pressure disturbance achieve the desired effect of reducing water cut and increasing oil production.

Low Permeability Reservoirs

The 21st century witnessed the development of the oil extraction industry in Russia due to the intensifica- tion of its production at the existing traditional fields of Western Siberia, the Volga region and other oil-extracting regions, and due discovering new oil and gas provinces. At that time the path to the development of fields in Eastern Siberia was already paved. The large-scale discoveries of a number of fields made here in the 70s-80s of the 20th century are only being developed now. The process of development itself is rather slow in view of a number of reasons. Create a problem of high cost value of oil extraction in the region. One of the major tasks is obtaining the maximum oil recovery factor while reducing the development costs. The carbonate layer lying within the Katangsky suite is low-permeability, and its inventories are categorised as hard to recover. Now, the object is at a stage of trial development,which foregrounds researches on selecting the effective methods of oil extraction.

Low Permeability Reservoirs

Low-permeability gas reservoirs are influenced by slippage effect (Klinkenberg effect) , which leads to the different of gas in low-permeability and conventional reservoirs. According to the mechanism and mathematical model of slippage effect, the pressure distribution and flow state of flow in low-permeability gas reservoirs, and the capacity of low-permeability gas well are simulated by using the actual production datum.

Exploration And Development

Internationally the research of low permeability oil reservoir is a difficult point in the exploration and development of oil and gas field. This thesis, based on the research methods of low permeability reservoirs at home and abroad, summaries several major problems encountered in the process of low permeability oil exploration and development under the current technical conditions as well as the corresponding, but more effective technical measures that need to be constantly improved. And that exploration and development of low permeability of the reservoir will be the main battle field for some time in the future of oil exploration and development.
