Abstract As an effective method for resource utilization, CO2 huff-n-puff can be utilized to reduce CO2 emissions and enhance oil recovery in edge-water flock-block reservoir, which was implemented in Jidong Oil Field, China since 2008 with oil production of 6.5×104 bbls by 2015. During operation period, synergetic effect was observed in adjacent wells with water cut drops and oil increments in a horizontal well group. Experimental and numerical simulations were conducted to investigate synergetic mechanisms of CO2 huff-n-puff. 3D physical models with a horizontal well group and edge-water-driving system were established in laboratory to simulate the edge-water fault-block reservoir. The formation mechanisms and influence factors of synergetic CO2 huff-n-puff were studied through laboratory experiments. Base reservoir model was also built to further discuss the synergetic types and injection allocations for CO2 huff-n-puff in horizontal well group. Synergetic CO2 huff-n-puff is a smart gas cycling strategy for the horizontal well group to balance the formation pressure and replace the interwell oil. Experimental and numerical results showed that after CO2 injected into low tectonic position of the reservoir, synergetic effect could be observed in high position well with water cut drops and oil increments. The mechanisms of synergetic effect can be recognized as formation energy supplement, gas sweeping, gravity segregation and CO2-assisted edge-water driving. The stratigraphic dip and heterogeneity are advantages for the formation of synergetic effect. The synergetic types of CO2 huff-n-puff can be summarized as single-well synergy and multi-well synergy. For single-well synergy, edge-water invasion can be effectively controlled by energy supplement after CO2 injected into relatively low position well. For multi-well synergy, better synergetic effect and remaining oil replacement can be achieved after gas injected through different positions of the well group. The development efficiency of synergetic CO2 huff-n-puff can be enlarged with 700t CO2 injected into low position well + 100t CO2 into high position well, and about 5767.9 bbls oil of the well group could be recovered with the soaking time of 50d. |
