Abstract

Poor vertical coverage of injected water can cause water breakthrough in nearby producers that may lead to reduced oil production, excessive water production, sanding problems, and casing failures. Inability to control formation sand encroachment into the wellbore is a major cause of poor injection profiles. An encouraging result has been seen in D-7521, a Terminal 8A water injection well in the Wilmington field, Long Beach Unit, California. The well was frac packed with resin-coated sand, which, upon curing, forms an effective barrier to control formation sand back flow while maintaining porosity and permeability to the fluid flow. Injection packoff is an ongoing problem that continues to hamper production in the unit. Acid stimulation and mechanical isolation have not been successful in maintaining profile control. Frac pack is a low-cost well stimulation process that can be used for sand control and injectivity improvement. (Original not available from T.U.)
