Abstract
The breakthrough flow of injected water and polymer caused by heterogeneous formation is a serious problem in many oil fields, and the problem has become an important restraint to oil development. The profile control and water shutoff plan is determined by experienced and subjective human judgments, the blocking agent selection and plugging agent dosage are lack of scientific basis. Based on a reservoir engineering study, this article proposes an internal pressure calculation model and an injection pressure calculation model, the ultimate gradient of breakthrough pressure and plugging agent working viscosity. Combining methods of plugging agent performance evaluation method, we conclude the matching relation between characteristic parameter of thief zone and performance of plugging agent. A method for selecting a plugging agent in the light of thief zone is established. Case study results reveal the practicability and effectiveness of this method.
