Abstract:

Based on the pilot test of the CO2 huff-n-puff well group in the Shanshan oilfield, the injection-production performance and the factors influencing CO2 EOR and storage in high water cut stage in low-permeability and low-viscosity oilfields were analyzed. The results show that, in the Shanshan oilfield (medium-deep burial reservoirs), the injected CO2 stays in a supercritical state, and the characteristics of CO2 injection are similar to those of water injection, showing the problems of uneven vertical sweep and planar breakthrough. The CO2 huff-n-puff can be divided into three stages: transient gas flowback, oil enhancement, and gradual invalidation. Three huff-n-puff wells vary greatly in oil replacement rate, indicating that the EOR effect mainly affected by the degree of remaining oil enrichment. The main mechanisms of CO2 storage are dissolution and mineralization, and the simultaneous storage rate can reach as high as 95.6%.

Key words: Shanshan oilfield, extra-high water cut stage, CO2 huff-n-puff, CO2 EOR, storage, oil displacement rate, storage rate, mechanism, economic benefit
