Abstract

In view of the prominent problems of extremely strong heterogeneity, fracture development of different scales, and serious rapid water channelling in the process of water injection development in fracture-pore carbonate reservoirs, a comprehensive treatment method of oil stabilizing and water controlling is proposed, which includes fracture classification control, combination of adjustment and plugging, and wettability change. Based on the static and dynamic test data, the characteristics of reservoir fracture development and fracture scales are described in detail. By means of reservoir engineering and numerical simulation, the water flooding rule under different grade fracture reservoir conditions is studied, the influence of different levels of fractures on water injection development is evaluated, and the improvement effect of different control methods on water drive sweep is demonstrated. Research shows that a large amount of remaining oil trapped in pores is affected by fracture water channelling, which makes it difficult to use effectively. The water flooding sweep characteristics of reservoirs with different scales of fractures are quite different, and large-scale fractures are the main reason for ineffective water injection. The hierarchical control techniques of plugging large-scale fractures, intervening and adjusting small- and medium-scale fractures, and changing the wettability of microscale pore media can significantly extend the water flooding spread range and effectively improve oil well production. The research results have been applied in the field and achieved good results. This technology can provide theoretical guidance and a technical basis for the comprehensive treatment of oil stabilization and water control in fractured-porous carbonate oil and gas reservoirs.
