摘要

A new EOR scheme is proposed to improve sweep efficiency and oil recovery from heterogeneous mixed to oil-wet carbonate reservoirs. The reservoir under study is a highly heterogeneous and layered reservoir which can be described at a high level as consisting of two main bodies, i.e., an Upper zone and a Lower zone with a permeability contrast of up to a factor of 100. The main recovery mechanism currently applied is water flooding. Field data shows that injected water tends to travel quickly through the Upper zone along the high permeability layers and bypasses the low permeable Lower zone, which results in poor sweep of the Lower zone. It has been demonstrated in earlier publications that this water override phenomenon is caused by capillary forces which act as a vertical barrier and counteract gravity for mixed or oil-wet reservoirs. Polymer flooding has been proposed to improve sweep efficiency in heterogeneous reservoirs. In this paper we propose a new polymer based EOR option in which the water and polymer are injected simultaneously into the Lower and Upper zones, respectively. Injection of polymer into Upper zone serves to minimize cross-flow of injected water from the Lower zone and improves the sweep efficiency of both Upper and Lower zones. Compared to polymer injection alone, a much lower volume of polymer is required which has a significant positive impact on cost of this EOR process. Numerical simulations have been performed using a history matched sector model. The model forecasts show that significant sweep improvement of the Lower zone is achieved compared to conventional water or gas injection. The results also show that the process is stable and robust to reservoir lateral and vertical heterogeneity, variation in polymer viscosity and that the amount of polymer that is used can be limited by only injecting a polymer slug of 0.1 to 0.2 pore volume. It is also shown that the process can be implemented in secondary and tertiary mode, where in tertiary mode earlier handling of production water is required. Experimental work shows there are promising polymers that may be able to withstand the high reservoir temperature, high salinity and high concentration of divalent ions in the reservoir under study.
