The results of pilot testing of technology of deeply-penetrating radial filtration channels creation in RUP PO Belorusneft

01.03.2016

At present time most of the explored oil and gas fields in RUP PO Belorusneft’s and other Russian oil and gas producing companies are at the closing stage of development. This stage is characterized by high watercut of the produced fluid and low profitability of operation of production wells and facilities for oil and gas gathering and processing. Even though reserves depletion factor reaches a significant value (up to 70–90% and more), deposits under development still contain large volumes of hydrocarbon recoverable reserves. In order to recover these reserves companies introduce a lot of high-cost technologies.

In some cases, when layers exhibit heterogeneous behavior (non-uniform distribution of the reservoir properties) in order to enhance well productivity it is necessary to perform treatment of specific zones and intervals with low drainage volume. For this purpose we developed equipment and technology that enables creation of deeply-penetrating filtration channels system in low-permeable and poorly drained reservoir rocks at different levels. In fact, this technology provides reservoir fluid withdrawal system in lowpermeable rocks.Radial-type deeply-penetrating channels enable multifold increase in fluid filtration area.
