摘要: The X sandstone reservoir in Jinzhou has a large gas cap, narrow oil ring and strong edge water. After entering its middle to late development stage, the reservoir faces the problems such as rapid formation pressure drop, severe gas channeling and difficult potential tapping, so it is urgent to optimize the development methods. Following the principles of geometric similarity, physical property similarity and production performance similarity, we optimized the profile model of the reservoir, and validated the feasibility of a barrier water injection scheme through 2D visualized physical simulation experiments. Then we proposed a barrier water injection scheme with horizontal wells in a parallel well pattern by combining with numerical simulation, and demonstrated the technical requirements for implementing the scheme. Considering the reservoir complexity, development risks, severe gas channeling, uneven vertical displacement and the ultimate goal for significant stimulation effects, a well group was selected for pilot test to improve the understanding of barrier water injection performance. The result provides a reference to the development of similar reservoirs.
