Heavy Oil Distribution and its Influence on Remaining Oil Distribution of G6 Block in Jinhu Depression

Abstract:

Heavy oil, with the characteristics of high viscosity and large density, is the most important component of petroleum hydrocarbon energy. In reservoir exploration, its dynamic resistance not only reduces driven efficiency, but also brings much more exploration difficulty, so it is not feasible to exploit heavy oil with conventional methods. Previous studies have carried heavy oil research , but few have attempted to examine the impact of heavy oil on reservoir properties .In this paper, a detailed analysis of heavy oil distribution and remaining oil distribution of G6 block is performed. The conclusion are drawn: the local water flooding and local remaining oil selectively accumulation are caused by heavy oil through reducing water flooding efficiency; As to heavy oil recovery, appropriate exploration should be selected to reduce viscosity of heavy oil according to different geological conditions.
