and strong heterogeneity in nearly abandoned reservoirs
the study focuses on the 4-5 layer series of the North Block II(Oil Group No. 2) in the Shuanghe Oilfield. By employing detailed reservoir geological modeling
numerical simulation methods
and microscopic displacement experiments
the distribution characteristics of remaining oil after polymer flooding were characterized. Post-polymer flooding
the remaining oil saturation is higher in areas away from the main streamlines on the macro scale
including non-mainstream areas
weak zones along main streamlines
and peripheral areas with larger injector-producer distances. Vertically
remaining oil tends to accumulate at the top of positive rhythm sequences. Microscopically
the remaining oil is primarily in the form of semi-bound state. Based on the characteristics of remaining oil distribution
a technical concept of heterogeneous composite driving and streamline well pattern densification adjustment was proposed. By adjusting the well pattern to alter streamlines
creating a staggered row and column well pattern with a change in streamline direction of over 30° and a streamline deflection rate of 80%
the effective mobilization of remaining oil is promoted. Numerical simulation predicts that this technique could increase the recovery factor by 10.96%
add 706.1 thousand tons of recoverable reserves
and extend the life cycle by 15 years. This offers a new technical approach for significantly enhancing the recovery factor of reservoirs after polymer flooding.
