Abstract With the development of drilling and well completion technologies, multi-staged hydraulic fracturing (MSF) in horizontal wells has established itself as one of the most effective methods for stimulating production in fields with low permeability properties. In Eastern Siberia, this technology is at the pilot project stage. For example, at the Bolshetirskoye field, these works are being carried out to enhance the productivity of horizontal wells by increasing the connectivity of productive layers in a low- and medium- permeable porous-cavernous reservoir. However, different challenges like high permeability heterogeneity and the presence of H2S corrosive gases setting a bar higher for the requirement of the well construction design and well monitoring to achieve the maximum oil recovery factor. At the same time, well and reservoir surveillance of different parameters, which may impact on the efficiency of multi-stage hydraulic fracturing and oil contribution from each hydraulic fracture, remains a challenging and urgent task today. This article discusses the experience of using tracer technology for well monitoring with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing to obtain information on the productivity of each hydraulic fracture separately.

Abstract A significant part of the initial geological reserves of LLC “RN-Uvatneftegas” oilfields are concentrated in deposits with abnormally low reservoir properties (porosity, permeability). The organization strategy of pressure maintenance of such oilfields significantly affect to the economic profitability of the reservoir development. One of the major tasks to achieve this goal is to determine the perfect time for application injection wells in oil production before forming the pressure maintenance system. Often, the solution to this issue turns out to be labor-intensive. In this regard, the analytical tool has been developed that allows rapidly assess the perfect time for transferring wells to water injection for pressure maintenance forming. The developed tool is based on a statistical analysis of the decline rate of horizontal wells fluid rates at the RN-Uvatneftegas oilfields. And also a comparative analysis of the results of the developed tool and other existing methods was carried out. The analysis showed that the developed tool is distinguished by its accuracy, simplicity and efficiency of work.

Fractured Horizontal Wells

Summary In the context of modeling fractured horizontal wells, unstructured grids have been applied to generate simulation meshes for complex fracture networks. It is necessary to investigate how to choose an unstructured mesh to accurately simulate production performance. In this paper, a new unstructured gridding and discretization work flow is proposed to handle nonorthogonal and low-angle intersections of extensively clustered fractures with nonuniform apertures. The work flow is then validated with two models in terms of production behavior and central-processing-unit (CPU) performance: a synthetic model with one horizontal well and orthogonal intersected hydraulic fractures built by tartan grid, and a field-scale local-grid-refinement (LGR) model with three horizontal wells and irregular hydraulic fractures in a slightly dipping reservoir created by a commercial software plug-in. Good-quality matches are obtained between unstructured and structured grids in both pressure and production behavior. Sensitivity analysis of the meshing parameters suggests that refinement in the vicinity of fractures has improved both early and late production of a well, whereas background density has a dominant effect on the late production. Background-grid type and orientation have less influence as long as they have the same grid density. Fewer cells can be achieved by increasing reservoir-background size and size-progression ratio, replacing unstructured-background grids with structured grids, and reducing the complexity of the fracture networks without loss of the accuracy, resulting in improved CPU performance. This study applies unstructured grids to simulate multiple horizontal wells with complicated fracture networks, and provides detailed comparisons between unstructured and structured grids. Most importantly, it resolves the question regarding how to choose an appropriate mesh to yield both accurate results and high-quality CPU performance.

Abstract There are several large carbonate reservoirs that have drawn great attention of researchers in recent years. After optimization of drilling technologies, how to deploy artificial lift technologies to develop them more efficiently is another concern. Conventional zonal water injection technologies require repetitive operation with wirelines and cables, causing extensive tests and low efficiency. However, an intelligent zonal water injection string consisting of several preset cable packers, water injection pressure gauges, formation pressure gauges and downhole flow meters has simply optimized water injection parameters and efficiently developed all reservoirs in some China's mature oilfields, especially when the string is integrated with remote monitoring and control methodologies. With the rapid development of horizontal drilling and extended reach well drilling technologies, borehole conditions are becoming more and more complicated, which has brought more challenges to water adsorption testing of horizontal intervals and deployment of zonal water injection instruments. Compared with vertical wells, the water adsorption test and string running are more challenging for horizontal wells, in which we are faced by many a problem during zonal water injection, such as competitive slack off and tight pull, excessive or inadequate water injection, complicated operation process. Besides, well deviation, dog leg and horizontal section length shall be all taken into consideration during zonal water injection for horizontal wells. Therefore, novel strings and tools should be deployed. Now tight pull, slack off and long operation periods are common problems during zonal water injection of horizontal intervals. After dedicated research, a set of wireless intelligent water injection strings for horizontal wells has been invented. Based on pressure pulse water distribution technique, the water injection string is eligible for 32-stage adjustment, so one strip may accomplish testing, adjusting, injection, measurement and downhole data collection, in addition to automatic error correction during water injection. The field trial shows that this novel string may be tripped in and out smoothly, packers are set securely and released easily, in order to adjust opening of each water injection nozzle in the ground, with an error of no more than ±10%. Therefore, the novel completion and water zonal water injection string is capable of injecting water precisely via remote control methods. The wireless intelligent water injection string for horizontal wells that combines testing, adjusting, injection, measuring and data collection in one trip provides us with many downhole data, such as pressure, flow rate, temperature and so on. Therefore, water injection volume for each zone is monitored and controlled down hole. This technology is applicable for both horizontal and vertical wells that require zonal water injection.

In the process of oil reservoir waterflooding, natural water dump flood technology for reservoir pressure decline prevention is considered as an unconventional but technically less demanding, more economical and safer method in comparison to surface power water injection. With natural dump flood technology, a single well serves as a water producer from a water bearing layer (aquifer) and simultaneously through gravity and the pressure difference between the aquifer and the depleted oil reservoir, it serves as a water injector inside the oil reservoir without expensive and complex injecting water treatment facilities at the surface. With the use of such technology and the running of intelligent well completion, it allows for the permanent monitoring of water production, injection rates and temperature inside the chosen reservoir. In addition, in offshore operations, the use of a subsea wellhead with a mud line suspension system allows for the placing of the injector well at the best predetermined position for water injection in a targeting reservoir and, together with an efficient subsurface acoustic data acquisition system, leads to better reservoir management and well integrity improvement. The overview and critical reflection of the drilling and intelligent completion of a natural dump flooding well for reservoir pressure support in partially depleted oil reservoirs in the Persian/Arabian Gulf has been given, referring to both their preparation and execution phase. The possibility of applying natural water dump flood was also considered in the Croatian onshore Beničanci oil field through a pilot project of water injection into the Be-62 well.
