The article discusses the process of sediment transport in channels under the influence of wind waves on the course. Based on the calculation method Quick M.C. dependences are proposed for calculating sediment transport in channels when waves are superimposed on associated and counter-current flows. The movement of sediments caused by the combined action of waves and currents is studied. It is shown that the direction of the movement of sediments is determined mainly by the direction of wave propagation (even in the case of a counter-current). Here the consumption of sediments is proportional to the power of the “wave flow” system. Comparing the results of the calculation with the dependencies of other authors gives satisfactory results.

In most of the fields developed by the flooding method, there is an advanced flooding of borehole products associated with water breakthrough through the reservoir, backwater circulation, and also leakiness of the production column. In order to limit the extraction of "excess" water, water insulation technologies are widely used, in which hydrogels of various nature occupy a prominent place. For the rational use of water insulation technologies, it is necessary to know the rheology features and filtration characteristics of grouting materials. This article presents the results of experimental determination of a number of rheological characteristics of a composite insulating material based on sodium silicate, polyacrylamide (PAA), chromium acetate and rice husk dispersion. Rheological measurements were carried out in the oscillatory mode, which provide information about the elastic and viscous characteristics of the sample under study. The elastic modulus (accumulation modulus) characterizes the accumulated deformation energy in the system and reflects the property of the sample as a solid (elastic component). The viscous modulus (loss modulus) determines the energy dissipation and is responsible for the behavior of the sample as a liquid (viscous component). In each case, the range of linear viscoelastic behavior was determined as an interval of strain values in which the structure of the sample under study is not destroyed by deformation. Hydrodynamic modeling is increasingly used in the design of the RIW, which allows not only to reduce the time to justify the processing parameters, but also to increase its efficiency. For the convenience of subsequent hydrodynamic modeling, the results were processed using a two-component Burgers model to obtain the parameters of the elements of this model, which are a kind of «digital passport» of waterproofing materials.

The most common method for preventing scale formation in the well completions is by applying a scale inhibitor (SI) squeeze treatment. Near-well squeeze treatment models generally assume that the flow pattern around the well is radial. Although, this assumption may be reasonable in most scenarios, this paper investigates whether strictly non-radial flow patterns around the well have a major effect on the squeeze treatment.Sensitivity calculations were performed to identify the impact of waterflood patterns such as Two-Spot, Five-Spot, Line Drive, etc. on the squeeze treatment lifetime in vertical production wells. The second part of the project then continued the study of the impact of flow patterns in fractured vertical production wells. The outcome is that scale squeeze treatments initiated at the same watercut appear not to be impacted by the various flood patterns studied. However, investigation showed that fractured wells typically have longer squeeze lifetimes in comparison to non-fractured wells.Calculations show that for fractured wells, inhibitor adsorption on the face of the fracture itself has no impact on the treatment lifetime; the longevity of the squeeze is determined by the inhibitor adsorption in the matrix rock outside the fracture. The benefit a fracture brings is in terms of propagating the SI further from the well than would occur in an unfractured radial treatment. In the fractured well the inhibitor is then more greatly retarded by contact with rock over a greater distance than would occur in a matrix only radial treatment. Sensitivity calculations were performed to identify the impact of fracture length. IntroductionMineral scale precipitation is a significant problem in the oil and gas industry. Oilfield scales are inorganic crystalline deposits, which can precipitate in the reservoir formation, flow lines and/or surface facilities. This solids deposition can cause formation damage in the reservoir formation in addition to restriction/blockage in the wellbore area and in flow lines. Scale formation is due to three main mechanisms (Mackay et al., 2004):

Изучено неустойчивое несмешивающееся вытеснение нефти водой при постоянном перепаде давления и при постоянном расходе в ячейке Хеле-Шоу. Установлена степенная зависимость фрактальной размерности от закачиваемого объема вытесняющей жидкости при постоянном перепаде давления, не изменяющаяся при его увеличении в 2.5 раза. Показано, что можно выделить 4 этапа вытеснения нефти. На начальном этапе эффективнее вытеснение при постоянном расходе, а для больших объемов-при постоянном перепаде давления.
