The urgency of work relating to limitation of water inflow in oil wells is justified by the necessity of a productive formation development. Despite long-term experience in these works performance, their effectiveness is still quite low, and they are usually carried out with whatever funds remain. The article presents the results of work aimed at water inflow limitation that was carried out at nine wells of Sovetsky and Severny deposits of JSC "Tomskneft" VNK in 2013. The results of work performed witness the fact that wells’ average operating parameters have chan­ged as follows: fluid flow rate decreased from 280 to 60 m3/day, oil production has increased from 4,3 to 9,6 tons/day, water-flo­oding has changed from 98 to 81 %. The results of this work served the basis for the authors of the present article to suggest some ways aimed at improving of the effectiveness of efforts to reduce water inflow with regard to the criteria applied for selection of wells-candidates as well as cementing compositions and their volumes.

 

Key words: water shut-off (WSO); cut-off of formation water-flooded intervals; polymer composition; raising efficiency of water shut-off.

Evaluation of the design oil recovery factor (ORF) and possibility of its achievement was carried out in comparison with the actually obtained value of ORF as a result of the field development with the same filtration-volumetric properties (FVP) under the condition of no less than 80 % selection of the recoverable reserves. Were considered 491 formations made by a terrigenous reservoir and 197 formations composed by a pore-type carbonate reservoir were examined, viscosity of formation oil didn’t exceed 5 mPa∙s. When assessing the possibility of joining of terrigenous and carbonate formations into one object of development of reservoirs it is necessary to evaluate the possibility of getting the corresponding ORF as well. Maximum discrepancy between ORF design and actual values were obtained by the minimum values both of carbonate and terrigenous reservoirs, which made 67 % and 135 % respectively. For low FVP when ε < 10 D×m/(Pa×s), the design values appeared "undervalued" as "in­surance", as well as in case of high FVP when ε 1000 D×m/(Pa×s). By ORF maximum values, the degree of divergence is less and equals to 45 % for both terrigenous and carbonate reservoirs. In case of FVP perfection when ε > 100 D×m/(Pa×s) the degree of divergence reduces and the degree of reduction is greater for terrigenous collectors. The smallest difference between the design and actual ORF is received under "good" conditions of filtration of 100 D×m/(Pa×s) ε < 1000 D×m/(Pa×s).

High technological efficiency of hard-to-recover oil reserves extraction is achieved through performing of formation multi-zone fracturing in a horizontal sector of a well mostly due to increase of a formation coverage coefficient by drainage. However, the widespread introduction of this technology requires an objective assessment, depending on the methods applied for its implementation. This paper presents some analysis of the technical and technological results obtained during performance of multi-zone formation hydraulic fracturing under conditions of complexly-composed formation of Samotlor field. Some analytical model adapted for actual results is used to solve the problem of technical efficiency evaluation of the planned operations.

 

Key words: formation hydraulic fracturing; horizontal well (HW); multi-zone formation hydraulic fracturing; complexly-composed formation.

This article is devoted to the development of sediment-gel-forming compositions for the purpose of their application for leveling the profile of water-intake capacity of a well. Compositions containing aluminum poly-oxy-chloride and urea were taken as the basis. Some reagent that adjusts the components’ hydrolysis rate and increases the gelling time of compositions was selected for these compositions. The results of studying the dependence of gel-forming time on the temperature, thermal stability as well as values of complex viscosity, the developed com­positions resistance factor are given.

Relevance of the work is justified by the necessity of obtaining the data on the heterogeneity of the pore space and filtration properties of a formation-reservoir both at the initial stage of exploration drilling and during the subsequent adjustment of the strategy development.

The aim of the article is a comparative analysis of materials of geophysical and hydrodynamic well testing to assess the directions and the size of the filtration heterogeneity.

Research methods include the standard set of geophysical well logs in digital log sheets applied to a productive formation compartmentalization. Petro-physical characteristics are determi­ned by applying the dependence between the core data (porosity-permeability). One of the wells served the example for per­meability distribution construction of the nearby wells by the results of tracer studies and permeability gradients distribution, based on GIS data, that was the ground for making conclusions about anisotropy distribution regularity with account of geological depositional environments, is shown on the example of Yu13 formation.

This resulted in getting a confirmation of comparison of hydrodynamic and geophysical studies in terms of the permeability distribution. Correlative characteristics of filtration-volumetric parameters by cores confirm azimuth characteristics of a reservoir area.

 

Key words: porosity; permeability; spontaneous polarization method; permeability gradient; anisotropy; heterogeneity.

The results of dynamic laboratory experiments are presented in the paper. Those results are tightly connected with oil fields development accompanied by carbonated water injection as well as with oil and gas genesis in compliance with biosphere concept of their origination. It is shown in the paper that during processes under consideration associated with carbonated water filtration in reservoir rocks large amounts of hydrogen are produced along with methane homologues. It should be stressed that laboratory experiments were conducted at low temperature and pressure conditions.

 

Key words: carbonated water; filtration; genesis of hydrocarbons; homologues of methane; hydrogen.

The article presents the reasons for producing wells withdrawal from service and gives recommendations on the problem salvation. In the oil fields of ready application Use of ready-made long filters at oil fields essentially complicated operational conditions of producing wells. During the initial period of wells operation (even during fields’ development) there happens the products water-flooding and sand plugs formation. It is shown that due to the sand plugs field’s exploitation covers the upper inefficient part of the section. Thus, the uneven decrease in oil production in wells happens due to the failure (collapse) of well bottom zone; damage (crushing, breakage) of production casing stings occurs in case of a formation cover collapse (walls of voids) in that part of the filter, where the fluids flow.

 

Key words: water-flooding; corrosion; sand plug; damage of a production casing string; long filters; interval standardized filters.

The challenge of combating oil emulsion is one of the most important ones among numerous technical problems related to the conservation of natural resources in the oil industry. The pre­sent article accentuates the main focus on the rheological characteristics of emulsions behavior the research of which is necessary to increase efficiency during storage, transportation and processing of such systems. The aim of this work is to study the influence of water content on the rheological properties of the of oil-water emulsions of Uzen field. While analyzing oil-water emulsions the author of the present article comes to the conclusion that emulsions are formed under variety of oil and water ratios, but the maximum capacity for emulsification meets only some definite ratio. Experimental work was carried out in the temperature range from 20 to 50 °C. Flow curves were firstly recorded for the water-free oil of Uzen field, then for oil that was water-flooded by 10…90 %. It is shown that at high tempe­ratures oil from Uzen field behaves as a Newtonian fluid. If the temperature is lower than 40 °C oil viscosity increases, its abnormally viscous properties become obvious due to the crystallization and concentration increase of paraffins in the volume of oil. Graphs showing rheological dependences of viscosity on shear rate for emulsions with various content of oilfield water content (10 to 90 %) at different temperatures (from 20 to 50 °C) are submitted.

 

Key words: oil emulsion; rheological characteristics; water-flooding; emulsification; anhydrous oil; crystallization of paraffins; shear rate; apparent viscosity.
