PRODUCED WATER INJECTION POTENTIAL FOR OIL RECOVERY FROM OIL SHALES IN THE KHOLMOV AREA
Abstract
Produced water flooding allows to simplify conventional schemes of external water supply and water injection into oil reservoi r. As a result, the time of development of water flooding decreases, necessary volumes of injection water are rapidly attained and conditions for high rates of oil production are created. The Kholmov area water flood analysis demonstrated considerable lags in highly productive shale and low productive reservoir production. According to the analysis the existing technological scheme for reservoir pressure maintenance was recognised as ineffective, and in some areas it led to irreversible deterioration of reservoir pr operties of the formation and decline in production rate. Waterflood experience in Kholmov area (Romashkino oil field, Tatarstan, Russia) has proved the possib ility of EOR by means of mineralized produced water injection. Utilization of the technology has contributed to the solution of problem of oil production from reservoirs with low permeability and deteriorated reservoir chracteristics by means of developing stagnant zones and dead areas.
