FORMATION EXPOSING IMPACT ON WATER OIL ZO NE DEVELOPMENT

To study the impact of formation exposing extent on water/oil formatio n development process efficiency, a new method was used that relies on numeric solutions of equations describing water drive of oil. Various options for exposing water and oil zones of a monolithic, uniform res ervoir in producing and injection wells are considered. The study offe rs identification of reliance of oil and liquid withdrawal rates, alon g with final oil recovery ratio, on reservoir exposing extent applied to producing and injection wells.
