Optimizing Well Spacing Using Srkachef Relational Expression

Abstract:

With the remarkable improvement in recognition concerning the feature of the reservoir, a comprehensive adjustment is required to be made during the process of field development. Among currently prevalent methods, well pattern thickening is regarded as the most effective way to maintain or boost the oil productivity. However, to avoid the consequent high development cost of this method, optimizing a reasonable well spacing becomes a necessity to ensure a desirable effect of exploitation as well as an advanced level of economic effectiveness. In this paper, the author sets Zhanazhol Oilfield as an example and uses Srkachef relational expression to provide an accurate method, in which gives a detailed illustration about optimizing economic limit well spacing and economic optimal well spacing in different thickness reservoirs. Given its favorable adaptability, this method will become a valuable reference for the oilfield development in relation to well pattern deployment and thickening in late period.
