Using the Laser Irradiation to Improve the Rate of Production of Iran South West Formation

Abstract

whole level of the erosion and the resistance of rocks which were composed closured have been studied, besides, the impact of temperature and laser irradiation for more investigation about this issue has been involved before all. This subject more reveals the matter which laser absorption on the laboratory scale using laser to what extent can cause the augment of the relative permeability and secondary porosity of reservoir rock, that of the vertical and horizontal useful connectivity and eventually that of the positive transferability. This research has been carried out in the form of case study on one of Iranian south west formations in north east of Behbahan city in Iran, either the rate or generation of forming the subtle and large fractures has been studied by considering and preparing this section from rocks of stratified sequence of the laboratory area before and after the laser irradiation operation and various analyzer by the means of Spectrophotometer and advanced electron microscope. It should be noted that during the erosion and ablation in the laser drilling operation in the experimental rocks of considered field, given the capability of the field, the formation and field lithology we observed the creation of fractures at the level of micro and nano simultaneously whose vacant spaces were positive, and reservoir and some others were neutral, this fractures can be created by the rate of crude oil absorption. The main purpose of this study is to advance the operations towards the higher technology in order to the better efficiency in the field of the well completion to be gained improving the rate of oil production by the introduction of this modern method of improving and fracturing reservoir which uses certain specialized parameters and indicators, and, finally, the certain method that might be a better way to use laser irradiation on our chosen formation of Iran.

The Effects of Carbon Dioxide Laser Irradiation on Drilling of Limestone Included Crude Oil

“…Depending on the each lithology, Poisson's ratio decreased or increased slightly but no effective. For limestone, the differences between the module of samples that been lased and the samples that hadn't be lased were less significant than each other [3] [18].…”

“…Because we creating hole in intact sample that could initiate many micro fractures and macroscopic hole that pass throw the whole part of sample. Other parameters such as bulk modulus and shear modulus are decreased [3]. Causes the compressibility of the samples that could evaluate to the near wellbore condition had been increased by creating on hole and many cracks inside of it [3] [19].…”

“…The old method of drilling was rotary drilling and it was developing since the one century earlier, the basic method of using those illustrations is to safely reach out the gas and oil formations [1] [2], although those methods never get used to and had been proven to be successful technological [3] [4].…”

The Applications of Laser Technology in Downhole Operations - A Review

“…Significant permeability and porosity increase was observed in low thermal conductivity limestone (Bazargan et al, 2012) Batarseh et al (2003 concluded in their study on well perforation using high power laser (COIL) that high power laser applications improved rock porosity and permeability in the perforated tunnel and in the adjacent zone. They reported that high thermal conductivity resulted in better temperature distribution in the rock, and therefore an increase in permeability and porosity.…”
