Abstract

The efficient development of carbonate oil deposits with excessive fissuring is a current challenge. Uneven and rapid well stream watering is considered as one of the factors that make the process of the development of carbon deposits more complicated. The purpose of the research is to diagnose and evaluate the mechanisms of well stream watering for carbon deposits and find applicable technology to prevent it. An overview of in situ water shut-off technologies was carried out. A description of the main materials used for water shut-off is presented, and selective methods are studied in more detail. A carbonate basin of an oil field is selected as the object of investigation. The geological and physical characteristics of this deposit are given. Analysis of possible causes and sources of water cut of the fluid is made according to the technique of K.S. Chan, under which the main reason for the watering of the well production is the breakthrough of formation and injection water through a system of highly permeable natural fractures and channels. Matrixes of applicability of in situ water shut-off technologies and polymer compositions are made. The composition based on carboxymethyl cellulose for in situ water shut-off is selected for the chosen deposit.
