Experimental Evaluation of Water Control for Continuous Packer in Buried Hill Fractured Gas Reservoir: A Case Study of HZ 26-6 Condensate Gas Field

Abstract

Abstract Although research into water control completion techniques is now relatively mature, there are still difficulties in controlling water in fractured gas reservoirs in the sea. Unlike oil reservoirs, submerged gas reservoir development still faces some problems. To explore the water control mechanism of buried hill fractured gas reservoir, based on the parameters of well HZ26-6-2 in HZ 26-6 condensate gas field, the water control experiment of the continuous packer in the bottom water gas reservoir was completed through the design of experimental parameters, the design of buried hill fractured formation, and the process design of continuous packer. Studies have shown that the continuous packer water control technology delays the water coning rate and makes the water propulsion more uniform. The water breakthrough time and gas production are slightly different for different fractured gas reservoirs, and the network fracture model has a short gas recovery period and fast gas production speed. Continuous packer water control can improve natural gas recovery by 14.3% in fractured gas reservoir. Based on fracture dredging ability, sand accumulation and filling degree, and drilling and production strategy, the influencing factors of horizontal well water control effect in buried hill fractured gas reservoir are discussed and summarized. The research results are aimed at establishing a development model of water control for buried hill gas reservoirs and providing good technical support for rational and scientific water control of horizontal Wells in offshore condensate gas fields. The findings of this study can help for a better understanding of water control of horizontal wells in offshore condensate gas fields.
