Abstract:

Fault-controlled condensate gas reservoirs in the Shunbei No.4 fault zone of Tarim Basin contain high-angle fractures, leading to the possibility of bottom water coning. The bottom water connection points and gas-water connection modes in the Shunbei No.4 fault zone were identified by combining seismic and reservoir characterization results, and the scale of the water body was evaluated using the reservoir characterization method and the material balance method. Combined with the parameters such as the energy indication curve of the gas reservoir, the water avoidance height, and the gas production rate, the water invasion risk of production wells in the Shunbei No.4 fault zone was qualitatively assessed. The on-site water control measures such as the managed liquid production for controlling water coning and the gas injection for controlling water coning have achieved satisfactory results in enhanced oil recovery.

Key words: Tarim Basin, Shunbei oil and gas field, fault-controlled condensate gas reservoir, strike-slip fault, bottom water identification, water invasion characteristic, water control measure
