Abstract
Introduction. The processes of conformance profile control in injection wells and flow-diverting technologies are considered. A general approach to processes simulation is proposed, in which two principal components reacting in the reservoir.
Aim. The purpose of the research is to create a tool for prediction and assessment of the results of injection well treatments.
Materials and methods. It is proposed to consider the process within the framework of a problem with a small parameter, in which the well treatment is modeled by a one-dimensional flow for each interlayer.
Results. Analytical solutions of the problem have been obtained, which make it possible to determine the reaction constant from laboratory tests and predict the redistribution of the flow near the well. These solutions can be used in a commercial software or proxy model as well-reservoir coupling coefficients. The technologies of reagents injection with subsequent displacement them into the reservoir with water injection and shut down the well for reaction after injection are analyzed.
Conclusions. The combination of the analytical analysis of the conformance improvement with simulation of waterflood by commercial software increases the scientific basis and effectiveness of the decisions of oil reservoir water management.
