Study on CO₂ Injection for Enhancing the Oil Recovery at Gao89 Block in Shengli Oilfield

Abstract:

Gao 89 Block is a low permeability oil reservoir. These reservoirs have difficulty in water injection, poor well condition, and low original production. Gas injection can solve this problem. It is the most efficient recovery method for low-permeability reservoirs at home and abroad. In accordance with the geological features and development actuality of Gao89 Block, the feasibility and optimization of gas injection are studied, the effect of gas injection on the development index and development results are demonstrated. The results indicate that the gas injection can dramatically enhance oil recovery and increase the oil production.
