Improvement of Evaluation Methods for Deep Fluid Diverting Agents

Abstract:

The main oil fields in China have gone gradually into the high or extra-high water cut production period, and conventional profile control technologies already cannot meet oilfields’ production requirements. The research and application of new fluid diverting technologies has got many new progresses, but their validity term is relatively short in the aspect of improving the high water cut oil reservoir. Based on the capillary bundle model, a comprehensive performance evaluation method of fluid diverting agents has been proposed, through systematical analysis of the fluid diverting agents evaluation methods at home and abroad and their existing problems, and all-sided understanding of the present reservoir situation. The experimental results showed that this method could effectively and comprehensively evaluate the fluid diverting agents’ diverting effect, shear resistance performance, temperature resistance performance and salt resistance performance, and could optimize injection process parameters. It has the important and practical significance to improve the duty validity of the fluid diverting agents.
