The Development and Technology Policy for a Gas Cap and Edge Water Reservoir with Narrow Oil Ring

Abstract:

Reservoir with gas cap, edge water is complex. And the oil-water and oil-gas interface will seriously influence the performance. Once out of control, gas and water invasion may occur, then oil productivity will fall sharply and oil recovery will become low. In addition, the oil penetrating into gas cap would lead to oil loss. So, the controlling methods are crucial. In this paper, we study the productive characteristics of a certain reservoir with gas cap, edge water and narrow oil ring. For the phenomenon several productive wells appeared gas breakthrough and water invasion after putting into production, this paper puts up a strategy shutting in high gas-oil ratio wells and blocking off gas breakthrough layers that proved effective. At the same time, adjusting oil and gas distribution underground by gas-water alternate also be proved practicable.
