Water and gas influx limiting method with well productivity recovery

Water and gas influx limiting method with well productivity recovery includes running in of a perforator at the flow string, perforation of the production casing, isolation of water and gas influx and elimination of leak-tightness failures in the production casing by injection of isolating compound through new openings thus forming a water-shutoff screen. At that perforation of the production casing and injection of the isolating compound are carried out during one trip of the perforator. A hydromechanical perforator designed to make openings in the production casing and further injection of the isolating compound is used as a perforator. At that perforation of the production casing is made within the interval of water and gas inflows.

Method of productivity recovery and commissioning of non-operating oil and gas wells

Method includes the conducting of repair and insulating works, "moderate" perforation of the production casing by a power drill with the working member equipped with hydromonitor channels, injection of sealing composition into the punched holes, bridge installation inside the production casing and subsequent re-perforation and development of the productive formation. Meanwhile during a single tripping of the perforator "moderate" perforation of the production casing is made in the interval below the productive formation and above the water producing formation. A simultaneous sealing of the formed holes of the interval and the bridge installation inside the production casing by means of supply of cementing composition through the perforator are performed. The perforator is backwashed when it is lifted to the productive formation, which is re-perforated and developed by the same perforator.

Interval isolation method of brine water influx in horizontal wells

Method includes running in of a flexible coiled tubing, filling of the well with blocking fluid in the interval from the bottomhole up to the lower part of water influx closest to the bottomhole. Water-shutoff compound is injected and flushed to the producing formation with simultaneous running out of the flexible coiled tubing up to the upper part of water influx closest to the bottomhole. At that the rate of the well horizontal section should be several times more than the rate of the flexible coiled tubing movement in order to ensure even placement of water-shutoff compound in the producing formation. The well horizontal section is filled with blocking fluid up to the next water influx shutoff interval and isolation works are performed in sequence at each influx interval starting from the interval closest to the bottomhole. Upon isolation of the last water influx the well is closed under pressure for reaction of water shutoff elements and destruction of the blocking fluid. Thereafter the flexible tubing is run in up to the bottomhole and the well is washed in volume of at least 2 circulation cycles.

Procedure for development of water-flooded oil deposits

Procedure for development of water-flooded oil deposits

Procedure consists in drilling-out with producers crossing impermeable natural inter-layers in pay-out bed, in lowering casing string with successive perforation of pay-out bed, in analysis of oil-and-water saturation and intervals of their bedding, in analysis of dimension of impermeable natural interlayer and in making barriers out of insulating composition separating water-saturated zones of bed from oil-saturated zones. By results of analysis there is determined thickness of the oil-saturated zone of the bed. If thickness of oil-saturated zone of the bed exceeds 4 metres, part of the casing string is cut out in the interval above lower perforation orifices of the oil-saturated zone of the bed up to a bottomhole of the well. Borehole is enlarged in this interval and is filled with isolating composition corresponding to cement grout. When thickness of the oil-saturated zone of the bed is below 4 metres, then a part of casing string is cut out from the roof of the impermeable natural interlayer to the bottomhole of the well. The borehole of the well is enlarged in this interval and is filled with isolating composition. There is formed a packer by introduction into the bottomhole zone of the oil-saturated zone of the well bed.
