摘要

Light oil fields in Lake Maracaibo have been produced forrnseveral decades under depletion and waterflooding. Due tornreservoir heterogeneity and complexity the traditionalrnwaterflooding oil recovery is not expected to exceed 30% ofrninitial oil in place. Potential Improved Oil Recovery (IOR)rnmethods capable to boost production from the mature fieldsrnare now under investigation and testing by the StaternVenezuelan Oil Company PDVSA. PDVSA’s main IORrntechnology strategy is based on Integrated Field Laboratoryrn(IFL) philosophy. IFL allows concentrating resources onrnmodern technology evaluation, design IOR processes to solvernregional problems, reduce the gap between laboratoryrnscreening and the field application phase for most promisingrnrecovery methods. The Water Alternating Gas (WAG) pilot atrnVLE-305 area of Lagocinco field is one of such IORrnlaboratory fields with the first immiscible gas injection pilot inrnLake Maracaibo started in May 2000. The WAG pilotrnencompasses five production wells, one dual completionrninjection well and one observation well. The producingrnreservoir C-23 is a stratified sandstone with areal and lateralrnheterogeneities. Separator hydrocarbon gas is injected in therndual completion injection well in the WAG mode. Differentrnsensitivity simulations were performed to design and optimizernWAG injection strategy. The WAG pilot is now in its secondrnstage of implementation and evaluation. Simulations arernfocused on tracer modeling and interpretation of productionrnwells response.rnSince available injection volumes of hydrocarbon gas forrnlarge scale WAG injection projects are not available in thernarea, other IOR alternatives are being considered. The VLErnpilot is again used as a laboratory for screening other potentialrnIOR technologies. Nitrogen injection in WAG and continuumrnmode, and cyclic water injection are strategies underrnconsideration.rnNitrogen injection facilities will not be operational in thernnear future, therefore cyclic water injection is considered as anrnalternative for short-term production improvement underrnwaterflooding. Cyclic injection can accelerate oil productionrnand reduce water cut making production more economic andrnnot requiring significant additional investments in the field.rnThe preliminary evaluation of cyclic injection in the pilot arearngives oil production improvement by 2-3%, and expansion ofrnthe process over a larger field area could give additionalrnsweep improvement. WAG injection is estimated to improvernoil recovery by 10-12% of STOOIP. WAG with nitrogen asrninjection gas may give 4-6% of STOOIP in increased oilrnrecovery in comparison with waterflooding.
