Water Production Isolation Techniques for Oil-Wells With High Reservoir Temperature

Abstract

Advanced drilling technology makes it possible to penetrate oil and gas sites with deep bedding of oil reservoir, a complex multi-layer structure and a high reservoir temperature at the well bottom, reaching 150°C. The difficult geology of oil strata leads to the fact that the productive layers of a well are flooded unevenly. In this work the causes for water cut in reservoirs are given, repair and insulation work and technologies for isolation of water-bearing intervals in the oil-producing wells considered. Grouting composites for water inflow limitation in reservoirs with low temperature (up to 100°C) and high-temperature reservoirs are studied. For water flood control in the oil and gas wells with high temperature viscoelastic composites with extended gel-time and high stable strength and adhesive properties has been proposed. The advantage of polymer-based composites is their kinetic behavior in dynamic mode, when filtering in a porous medium, which makes it possible to isolate effectively intake formations with different channel openings with a small flow rate of the mixture.
