Abstract

The invention relates to a method for improving a water drive recovery factor of a thick positive rhythm thick reservoir, in particular to a method for improving the oil reservoir water drive of the thick positive rhythm reservoir by horizontal well gel deep fluid diversion. A horizontal well is drilled in a high permeability formation of the thick positive rhythm reservoir, gel is injected into the high permeability formation through the horizontal well, a dam with the height consistent with that of the high permeability formation is built in the high permeability formation, and the horizontal well is positioned in the middle part between a water injection well and an oil producing well or near the oil producing well; the kv / Kh of the high permeability formation is between 0.01 and 0.2; the horizontal well is completed in a perforation mode, and the diameter of the horizontal well is 5 to 10 inches; and the gel is acrylamide, active starch, phenolic resin, organic chromium jelly, silicate with calcium chloride or silicate with diluted hydrochloric acid. The method can increase water-driven oil filtration resistance of the thick positive rhythm reservoir, change the flow direction of injected water, force the injected water to flow to a relatively enriched zone of low permeability crude oil, expand swept volume, and improve oil driving effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for improving oilfield water flooding recovery, in particular to a water flooding method for improving positive rhythm thick oil reservoirs by diverting fluid flow in the deep part of the gel in a horizontal well. Background technique [0002] my country's oilfield reservoirs are mostly multi-layer oilfields with continental clastic rock deposits, the effective thickness of a single layer is greater than 4 meters, the heterogeneity is serious vertically and horizontally, the internal permeability of the reservoir is large, and the permeability of channel sand bodies It is characterized by a positive rhythmic distribution with low upper part and higher lower part. Most of the crude oil is medium-quality oil, and the underground viscosity is generally 10-50 mPa·s. During the injection and development of such reservoirs, the injected water tends to channel from the lower high-permeability layers with relatively high permea...
