Erlian Basin

In China,more and more low permeability reservoirs have become the mainly oil production potential part for the soaring consumer market. Hydraulic fracturing treatment has always been playing an important role in these low permeability reservoirs.however,some inappropricate fracturing designs and treatments may decrease the productions as a result of high damage within both formations and artifical fractures.In order to minimize reduce formation and fracture damage, we take the wells in Erlian Basin as an example to explain the low-damage hydraulic fracturing technique which had been used in many of oil fields .Through eight years step by step study and field application, a comprehensive industrialize design technology was put forward. By the application of this technique, the low-damage degree is highlighted compared to the past.As a result the performance of post-fracturing wells have remarkably improved.

The efficiency of gas injection for developing terrigenous deposits within a multilayer producing object is investigated in this article. According to the results of measurements of the 3D hydrodynamic compositional model, an assessment of the oil recovery factor was made. In the studied conditions, re-injection of the associated gas was found to be the most technologically efficient working agent. The factors contributing to the inefficacy of traditional methods of stimulating oil production such as multistage hydraulic fracturing when used to develop low-permeability reservoirs have been analyzed. The factors contributing to the inefficiency of traditional oil-production stimulation methods, such as multistage hydraulic fracturing, have been analysed when they are applied to low-permeability reservoirs. The use of a gas of various compositions is found to be more effective as a working agent for reservoirs with permeability less than 0.005 µm2. Ultimately, the selection of an agent for injection into the reservoir should be driven by the criteria that allow assessing the applicability of the method under specific geological and physical conditions. In multilayer production objects, gas injection efficiency is influenced by a number of factors, in addition to displacement, including the ratio of gas volumes, the degree to which pressure is maintained in each reservoir, as well as how the well is operated. With the increase in production rate from 60 to 90 m3 / day during the re-injection of produced hydrocarbon gas, this study found that the oil recovery factor increased from 0.190 to 0.229. The further increase in flow rate to 150 m3 / day, however, led to a faster gas breakthrough, a decrease in the amount of oil produced, and a decrease in the oil recovery factor to 0.19 Based on the results of the research, methods for stimulating the formation of low-permeability reservoirs were ranked based on their efficacy.

Low Permeability Reservoirs

Nowadays, hydraulic fracturing has become the mainly treatment in low permeability reservoirs, but the hydraulic fracturing design technology in different reservoirs still use common methods. Natural fracture reservoirs mainly include granite reservoir, basalt reservoir and igneous rock reservoir which its hydrocarbon pore volume is fracture system. As the existing of natural fracture, hydraulic fracturing treatment always counting some problems, such as difficult sand pumping, easily screen-out and limited scale. In this paper, from the point of the reservoir characteristics, the mainly problems were analyzed and the corresponding methods were put forward .the core technique in this kind reservoir include communicating the distance nature fracture and meanwhile protecting the conductivity nature fracture. Production can reach 90% from natural fractures using numerical simulation.

Hydraulic Fracturing Fluid

The article considers the advantages and limitations of hydraulic fracturing fluid based on carboxymethyl cellulose determined as a result of laboratory studies. As a result of testing the studied fluid manufacturing features compared with similar fracturing fluids it was determined that the fluid of interest can be effectively used as a fluid for formation hydraulic fracturing especially in low permeability reservoirs. This fluid is widely available and has a low cost. It can easily replace the foreign analogues.
