Abstract


Bobrikovskian reservoirs of the field under consideration were discovered in 1956. From 1970 to 1974, pilot development was conducted. Commercial development started in 1975. In this study, the main purpose of modeling is evaluation of oil losses during cold water injection. Model parameters were history matched to historical production data and temperature conditions with account of PVT fluid properties, including temperature of structural phase transition of oil in the near-well region. Numerical studies on digital fluid flow model of terrigenous sediments of Bobrikovskian production target have demonstrated that cumulative oil production of target well during injection of water at 18 °C agrees with historical cumulative oil production data. Estimated oil losses considering hysteresis of relative permeabilities are provided as of 1 January 2024.

Key words:

geological, reservoir simulation modeling, model parameters history matching, temperature of structural phase transitions in oil, oil saturation, relative permeabilities, displacement efficiency, residual oil saturation, hysteresis
