Fault Sealing Property Analyzing by Water Injection in Oilfields

Article Preview

Abstract:

The quantity and availability of water injection are affected by geological environments in complex small fault-block oilfields, especially nearby faults. It is a general method to qualitatively determine fault sealing ability by water injection availability. The availability analysis of several injection wells can judge sealing ability of five faults of block M28-1 in JD oilfield. The water injection data show that fault F1, F4, F5 are main areas of pressure releasing for unsealing. Fault F2 and F3 are distributed on each side of the water injection well, which have a little influence on loss of water injection for sealing.
