Abstract:

In the late high-water cut stage in KS oilfield, profile control in water injection wells is a common measure to stabilize oil production while controlling water production. However, it is difficult to decide index limits and quantify weight values when selecting water wells. This study screened single-well, interwell and static indicators that can accurately reflect the characteristics of water channeling, developed a new kernel function based on polynomial kernel function, radial basis kernel function and Sigmoid kernel function, and optimized the fuzzy clustering method to improve the accuracy of fitting and prediction. Then a special fuzzy clustering method was proposed for selecting wells for profile control in the late high water-cut stage in KS oilfield. It can improve the recognition rates of sample set and detected set for selected wells. The new decision-making method for selecting wells for profile control has been applied to KS oilfield, and 3 wells were selected from 22 water wells for profile control. Significant oil increasing and water reducing effects have been achieved.

Key words: KS oilfield, sandstone reservoir, high water cut stage, profile control in water injection well, fuzzy clustering method, decision making for well selection, channeling pathway, stabilizing oil production and controlling water, kernel function
