Recommendations on thermal non-stationary waterflooding when modeling oil field development

Abstract

The work shows the efficiency of non-stationary waterflooding at first and second exploitation zones under contemporary conditions of Severnye Buzachi oil field. Moreover, at the sites with cyclic treatment, the volume of non-stationary waterflooding significantly decreased due to implementation of the technology of thermal treatment. The problem is the choice of a most preferable oil production method in terms of technological and economical conditions of high-VI oil reservoir development. However, the most important issue is the study of the possibility to combine two said technologies with joint benefit from their strong points for the sake of maximum oil displacement efficacy.
