A hydrophobic composition containing water repellents and highly volatile solvents is shown in this study to isolate water from the bottomhole formation zone of gas wells and reduce as much as possible the saturation of pore spaces with water. During injection, this composition shows selectivity and mostly penetrates water-saturated porous media. The study shows that the injection of such composition into porous media has a high water-insulating effect, reducing the water permeability of water-saturated porous media by 35 times with a degree of water isolation of 97%. Moreover, while injecting, it has selective action, mainly penetrating water-saturated media rather than gas-saturated media. As a result of injecting 0.91 to 0.99 pore volumes (pv) of the composition, the Qwater/Qgas ratio reaches 5.22 to 5.26, indicating high selectivity.
The efficiency of gas injection for developing terrigenous deposits within a multilayer producing object is investigated in this article. According to the results of measurements of the 3D hydrodynamic compositional model, an assessment of the oil recovery factor was made. In the studied conditions, re-injection of the associated gas was found to be the most technologically efficient working agent. The factors contributing to the inefficacy of traditional methods of stimulating oil production such as multistage hydraulic fracturing when used to develop low-permeability reservoirs have been analysed. The factors contributing to the inefficiency of traditional oil-production stimulation methods, such as multistage hydraulic fracturing, have been analysed when they are applied to low-permeability reservoirs. The use of a gas of various compositions is found to be more effective as a working agent for reservoirs with permeability less than 0.005 μm2. Ultimately, the selection of an agent for injection into the reservoir should be driven by the criteria that allow assessing the applicability of the method under specific geological and physical conditions. In multilayer production objects, gas injection efficiency is influenced by a number of factors, in addition to displacement, including the ratio of gas volumes, the degree to which pressure is maintained in each reservoir, as well as how the well is operated. With the increase in production rate from 60 to 90 m3 / day during the re-injection of produced hydrocarbon gas, this study found that the oil recovery factor increased from 0.190 to 0.229. The further increase in flow rate to 150 m3 / day, however, led to a faster gas breakthrough, a decrease in the amount of oil produced, and a decrease in the oil recovery factor to 0.19. Based on the results of the research, methods for stimulating the formation of low-permeability reservoirs were ranked based on their efficacy.
The purpose of this research is to study the area near the bottom of the hydrocarbon well, which is usually affected by drilling and development operations, and to find a modern method that improves the transfer of fluid from the reservoir to the well.The area near the wellbore of an oil and gas formation is a very active and unstable zone. Field studies have shown that during the process of drilling the first well into the pay zone, a new area of disturbed permeability and porosity forms around the wellbore. This disturbed area is called the skin zone and is characterized by different properties. The skin zone can also form during the completion processes of hydrocarbon wells.In terms of well test processing for any hydrocarbon well, the term "skin effect" should be understood as the effect of changes in the lower wellbore zone (i.e., changes in rock properties, changes in formation fluid, formation structure, geologic section, etc.) on bottom wellbore pressure. This indicates a change in the permeability of the bottom zone of the borehole during drilling and development.In this paper, a new computational method is proposed in which the investigation of hydrocarbon well condition can be performed in two ways. The first way represents replacing the true radius of the wellbore (rw) with an effective radius (rwe). Under this condition, the skin factor term reflects only the effect of changes in the bottom wellbore zone. The second way is that the skin factor indicates not only the amount of change in the bottom wellbore zone, but also the effect of hydrodynamic imperfection of the hydrocarbon well performance during production, while maintaining the value of the well radius. After evaluating these parameters, it is possible to conclude the effectiveness of the implemented measures in the bottom wellbore zone of the formation. At the same time, the value of the skin factor after the performed works regarding the impact on the bottom zone can determine the positive or negative impact on the operation of the hydrocarbon well.
