Abstract:

High-pressure water injection for capacity expansion is an effective method to enhance the recovery of fractured-vuggy reservoirs. However,the injection-production process during high-pressure water injection remains unclear. In this paper,three modes of high-pressure water injection for capacity expansion were proposed. Based on a dynamic model of high-pressure water injection for capacity expansion,the impacts of sensitivity parameters on the injection-production process during high-pressure water injection were simulated. The three modes of high-pressure water injection for capacity expansion were analyzed using actual wells drilled in the fractured-vuggy reservoirs in Halahatang oilfield. The high-pressure water injection for capacity expansion conforms to three modes:far-end low-energy,flow barrier,and near-end small reservoir. All three modes can realize effective production of far-end reservoirs to improve recovery efficiency. Flow barrier mode has the optimal EOR effect. The size of the near-end reservoir affects the time at which the water-injection indicator curve inflects,and the size of the far-end reservoir influences the difficulty degree of water injection after the water-injection indicator curve inflects. The fluid exchange index in the water injection process is greater than that in the production process,which indicates that the high-pressure water injection for capacity expansion is effective. The smaller the fracture closure pressure and stress sensitivity coefficient,the earlier the water-injection indicator curve inflects,and the higher the cumulative liquid production.
