Steam Stimulation

Heavy oil reservoirs with edge-bottom water represent a huge portion of the world’s reserves, and the effective development of such reservoirs with cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) is significant for the petroleum supply. However, the water cut of some CSS wells increases, and production decreases, with the increase of circulation turns. Discerning the source of the produced water is the basis of targeted treatment measures. In this paper, a new model is established for discriminating the source of produced water from CSS wells in edge-bottom water reservoirs. The model combines traditional hydrochemical characteristics analysis and factor analysis, and considers the quality change in injected water. The coefficient of formation water and injected water in produced water can thus be obtained. In addition, the normal distribution method is used to further divide interlayer water and edge-bottom water. The model was applied to a field case, and the results showed that one well was severely invaded by edge-bottom water. The results are consistent with field production performance, which further verifies the accuracy of the model. This model is of great significance for not only discriminating the source of produced water in an edge-bottom water reservoir, but also providing a basis for further the provision of further treatment measures.

Abstract Nowadays, different types of complex production wells are applied in challenging reservoirs in order to maximize oil recovery. A representative application is the fishbone multilateral horizontal wells, which have advantages of expanding the drainage area information and reducing the pressure loss in the long single lateral wellbore. This paper investigated the performance of fishbone wells and derived a wellbore and reservoir flow coupling model for fishbone multilateral wells in the bottom water reservoirs. The new model considered plenty of parameters that may have significant impacts on productivity and pressure drop in the well, including the fishbone structure, the main and branch wellbores' length, the spacing distance of the branch wellbores, wellbore radius, and preformation parameters. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis example by the numerical method presented in this paper. Compared with other models, our coupling model, when it is degraded to horizontal well, is more consistent with the results of actual field situation. In another comparative analysis, the results of the new model with branches show a good match with the numerical simulation results by software. The proposed method in this paper can be used as a valuable tool to analyze the productivity, wellbore inflow profile, and pressure profile of the fishbone multilateral wells in the bottom water reservoir.

It is the aim of this research to describe the horizontal well performance in different conditions, this paper firstly introduces 13 dimensionless variables to describe the influence factors of horizontal well performance in bottom water reservoir and calculates the range of all the variations from low to high level by making a statistics of the actual field data of the 23 horizontal wells, then establishes the oil recovery model with response surface method using a 3 level-13 variables Box-Behnken design (BBD) . Based on the evaluation model, single factor sensitivity and interaction analysis between any two factors are carried out. Finally, research on horizontal well in typical bottom water reservoirs indicates that the values calculated by the new evaluation model fit the actual field data, which proves that the evaluation model can provide criteria for the design or optimization of horizontal well development in a bottom water reservoir.

The horizontal well completion with stinger is usually used to control the bottom water cone. Although the pressure profile and the inflow profile along the horizontal wellbore can be divided into two parts by the stinger, these profiles have not really flattened. In order to flatten the pressure distribution and inflow distribution further, it proposes a new technology. This new horizontal well has multiple artificial bottom holes (MABH) along the wellbore and it has application potential. In order to verify the effectiveness of MABH technology, a model of horizontal well completion with MABH was established, and the production performance of different water cone control technologies was analyzed: conventional horizontal well, stinger completion horizontal well, and MABH completion horizontal well. The results show that the MABH technology has more advantages than the stinger technology. The uniformity of pressure distribution of the 6-MABH horizontal well is 55% higher than that of the horizontal well with string technology, and the uniformity of inflow distribution is increased by 65.25%. At the same time, although the operation of MABH technology is very simple, it should follow a rule of MABH installation: the position of the first MABH should be set at 242.5 m from the heel hole of the horizontal wellbore, and the other interval is 92.4 m.

Profit distribution plays an important role in the sustainable and stable development of liner alliances, this paper tries to solve the profit distribution issues in the liner alliance based on Shapley Value Method. Meanwhile, seeing that there is little consideration from the customer satisfaction, this paper establishes a new model by revising Shapley Value Method to distribute the profit of liner alliances from the perspectives of suppliers and customers and carry out verification through case analysis. The profit distribution method proposed in the paper is helpful to the reasonable profit distribution of liner alliance. It ensures the continuity and stability of liner alliance and provides a scientific decision-making basis for the profit distribution of liner alliance.

Abstract A nickel-based catalyst precursor has been synthesized for in-situ upgrading of heavy crude oil that is capable of increasing the efficiency of steam stimulation techniques. The precursor activation occurs due to the decomposition of nickel tallate under hydrothermal conditions. The aim of this study is to analyze the efficiency of in-situ catalytic upgrading of heavy oil from laboratory scale experiments to the field-scale implementation in Boca de Jaruco reservoir. The proposed catalytic composition for in-reservoir chemical transformation of heavy oil and natural bitumen is composed of oil-soluble nickel compound and organic hydrogen donor solvent. The nickel-based catalytic composition in laboratory-scale hydrothermal conditions at 300°С and 90 bars demonstrated a high performance; the content of asphaltenes was reduced from 22% to 7 wt.%. The viscosity of crude oil was also reduced by three times. The technology for industrial-scale production of catalyst precursor was designed and the first pilot batch with a mass of 12 ton was achieved. A «Cyclic steam stimulation» technology was modified in order to deliver the catalytic composition to the pay zones of Boca de Jaruco reservoir (Cuba). The active forms of catalyst precursors are nanodispersed mixed oxides and sulfides of nickel. The pilot test of catalyst injection was carried out in bituminous carbonate formation M, in Boca de Jaruco reservoir (Cuba). The application of catalytic composition provided increase in cumulative oil production and incremental oil recovery in contrast to the previous cycle (without catalyst) is 170% up to date (the effect is in progress). After injection of catalysts, more than 200 samples from production well were analyzed in laboratory. Based on the physical and chemical properties of investigated samples and considering the excellent oil recovery coefficient it is decided to expand the industrial application of catalysts in the given reservoir. The project is scheduled on the fourth quarter of 2021.
