To prevent water ingress from well bore into oil-saturated formation area formation is perforated in water-oil interface zone so that lower part of oil-saturation formation interval and upper part of water-flooded formation interval are penetrated. This provides oil relative permeability retention in oil-saturated formation area. To prevent formation mudding during initial perforation thereof drilling is performed in depression, balance and repression modes with pressure of not more than 3 MPa. As far as oil is depleted perforation interval is extended towards oil-saturated formation area. |

 Oil-bearing bed development method and equipment for group pumping station with oil deposit zone / 2265120Method involves pumping working agent, namely water, in two stages. The first stage is performed with the use of power pumps. The second one is carried out by means of hydraulic measuring pumps, which are used to convert injection pressure created by power pumps. If it is necessary to increase pressure in water lines used to deliver water to separate injection wells pressure is regulated in accordance with necessary water volume to be injected in wells on the base of collecting properties of oil formations in bottomhole formation zones. This is performed by providing change in pump piston diameter and stroke ratios in the first and the second sections of hydraulic measuring pumps, which are selected on the base of hydraulic resistance variation depending on water flow velocity. Parameters characterizing injection system operation are simultaneously measured and efficiency of the method and equipment operation is detected from above characteristics. |
 Injection well operation optimization method / 2265716Method involves flooding production bed through injection wells with the use of pump units. In the case of terrigenous porous productive bed flooding acoustical sound resonators with resonance frequency setting are installed in injection line. This eliminates amplitude of alternating low-frequency liquid pulsation sound generated by pump units. Method also involves providing constant compression mode in productive beds and frontal oil drive from productive bed. |
FIELD: oil and gas industry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the oil and gas industry, it can be used for development of oil deposits confined to the dome-shaped highs and at the final stage of deposits development. The concept of the invention is as follows: the method includes drilling of injection and producing wells, oil extraction through producing wells, surveying and determination of sections with dome-shaped highs exceeding actual elevations of the stratum, pumping of waterproofing sealant to wells, use of remaining wells located in direct vicinity from dome-shaped highs related hydrodynamically to producing wells within limits of this producing stratum and flooded completely in production process and used as injection wells to which operating fluid is pumped. According to the invention surveying and determination of sections with dome-shaped highs is made by temperature logging and determination of closed areas with temperature of 30-38°C corresponding to dome-shaped highs. Pumping of waterproofing sealant is made to wells located in cavities and completely flooded wells by suppression of the stratum in order to isolate water influx partially to dome-shaped highs from flooded areas. Branch or horizontal holes are made from these wells to penetrate stratum in the area of dome-shaped highs with further use of such holes as producers.
EFFECT: reducing material costs and increasing oil recovery factor due to water influx isolation from flooded areas of stratum, simplifying determination of dome-shaped high areas.

Bul. №8 20.03.2008), including the drilling of injection and production wells, injection of the agent through injection wells, extraction of oil through production wells, land domed highs, exceeding the elevation of the reservoir. In wells located on the tops of the dome rises are isolated opened a whole reservoir of chemical reagents and/or by plugging slurry solution of which is given to harden, cement slurry below the roof of the reservoir, then reveal the reservoir in the immediate vicinity of the roof of productive formation and use the data well as extractive, the rest of the wells associated hydrodynamically data wells within the productive formation and fully , is transferred into the injection, in which pump working agent.
The disadvantages of this method are the complexity of the determination of geophysical methods domed uplifts, no partial water influx isolation of formation zones and inefficient use of wells, which leads to additional material costs and premature irrigation products, which reduces the coefficient of oil recovery.
Technical objectives are to reduce material costs and increasing the recovery by increasing the time of watering products partly insulated water influx of sites of the layer and simplify the allocation of land plots domed uplifts according to thermometry.

Have identified two areas domed uplifts 2. The wells located in the immediate vicinity of dome-shaped uplifts 2, and a fully in the process of production was transferred into the injection 4. Next, have pumped water isolation composition (polyacrylamide) in the wells located in the hollows and fully , crushing in the stratum in the amount of 0.5-1.5 m 3 . Then from these wells (figure 3) produced the sidetracking of 5 250 m for the opening of a layer in the area of dome-shaped uplifts 2, use of the well with this trunks as mining.
