The Law of Reservoir Property Change both before and after Water Flooding in Liaohe Oilfield

Abstract

In order to explore the change laws of physical properties and pore throat radius of reservoir both before and after water flooding to guide the oilfield in-depth fluid diversion, the reservoir properties are analyzed on the basis of core data of early exploratory well and inspection well in the middle and later stages of oilfield development. The theory of reservoir geology and development geology is used to study the change laws of reservoir properties both before and after water flooding in May 20th Development Area of Liaohe oilfield. The research result indicates that reservoir physical properties and pore throat radius have changed in the different period and different microfacies types of sand body [1-3].The permeability is changed far outweigh porosity in the physical properties of reservoir. And with the increase of time, the biggest change is the porosity and permeability of distributary channel, the next are margin of channels, mouth bar. The thin layer of channels and distal bar of physical properties have changed lesser or not. The pore throat radius has declined following distributary channel, mouth bar, thin layer of channels and distal bar in the sedimentary microfacies [4-5].The study results are helpful for the establishment of production measures at the later stage of oilfield development.
