The results of laboratory studies of filtration processes on models of a terrigenous reservoir are presented in order to develop optimal compositions for simultaneous water and gas injection and foam assisted water alternating gas injection on the reservoir. The experiments were carried out on rock samples drilled from the core of terrigenous deposits of the Kynovsko-Pashiy horizon. The use of water-gas mixtures with foam-forming surfactants taking into account the field conditions of the fields of PJSC TATNEFT has been established will make it possible to obtain the greatest increase in oil recovery. Studies of the multiplicity and stability of foam systems have shown that non-ionic foaming surfactants TN-PO-1, TN-PO-2 and AF9-12 are best suited for use in FAWAG of the reservoir. The results of studies of the properties of foams depending on the concentration of surfactants are presented, recommendations are given on the use of specific reagents for the implementation of FAWAG, taking into account the conditions of specific fields. The use of SWAG and FAWAG technologies is not only increase oil recovery, but also significantly reduce the volume of irrationally used associated petroleum gas, which is one of the most important tasks for sustainable development goals.

At present, it is becoming more relevant to use other displacing agents, which are more effective in comparison with waterflooding, for increasing oil and gas condensate deposits component recovery. One of such promising methods is simultaneous water and gas injection. In this article, we present the principal options for using simultaneous water and gas injection in Arctic fields, case study of the Urengoyskoye and Prirazlomnoye fields. Technological schemes for its implementation in the Urengoyskoye field at low reservoir pressures are considered. Filtration studies of oil from reservoir models with water-gas mixtures at various gas contents allow increasing hydrocarbon recovery efficiency by determining the area of rational gas contents. For the conditions of the Prirazlomnoye field, the possibility of using pump-ejector system for the utilization of associated petroleum gas has been established.
Rational use of associated petroleum gas (APG) is the most important task of the oil industry. One of the options for its solution can be the use of pump-ejector systems for injecting APG together with water into the reservoir when implementing simultaneous water and gas injection (SWAG) in order to increase oil sweeping. However, the problem of increasing the pressure developed by the pump-ejector system is currently insufficiently studied issue. This paper presents an improved layout of the pump-ejector system, recommendations for the optimal composition of the working fluid, as well as the calculation of the system for the conditions of one of the fields in the Ural-Volga region.
When implementing the SWAG technology, the degree of stability of the water-gas mixture plays a key role. A many factors of various nature is known to the suppression of the coalescence of gas bubbles is facilitated. This article presents the results of studies of the effect of surfactants of various compositions and concentrations on the operation of a multistage centrifugal pump when pumping water-gas mixtures. The foaming agent disolvan 4411 is determined to the degree of negative influence of free gas on the characteristics of the pump is significantly reduced. The reagent Neftenol VVD provides operating parameters very close to the characteristics of the pump when using disolvan 4411. The concentration of Neftenol VVD, recommended for addition to the water-gas mixture, has been determined. The expediency of choosing this surfactant is also due to the fact that the use of this reagent improves the injection capacity of wells. Keywords: multistage centrifugal pump; ejector; water-gas mixture; foaming surfactants.
