Abstract


The article discusses the features of the development of high-viscosity oil deposits using thermal methods based on hydrodynamic modeling. The object is considered - the site of the 22nd deposit of the Novo-Elkhovsky oil field, represented by the Bobrikov horizon. Hot water with a temperature varying in the range from 200C to 900C was chosen as the main coolant. A series of calculations has been carried out, which makes it possible to determine the range of the effective temperature of hot water according to the schedule of the derivative of the increment of additional oil production. A minimal decrease in the ratio of dynamic viscosities of water and oil has been established, at which the temperature of the injected hot water is effective.

Key words:

high-viscosity oil, methods of increasing oil recovery, hydrodynamic modeling, thermal methods, coolant, temperature of injected water, hot water, additional mining
