Problems solved by technology

However, the steam huff and puff technology has the following problems: (1) The cost of generating steam is high, especially in areas where water resources are scarce and expensive, and water treatment costs are high; (2) Due to steam injection, oil well heat loss, sand production Casing damage and other serious conditions affect the utilization rate of oil wells and the implementation of process measures; (3) With the increase of steam stimulation rounds, the water content in the near wellbore area rises, which consumes most of the steam heat, and the degree of effective utilization of heat energy becomes smaller. (4) Some heavy oil wells completed without thermal recovery cannot inject steam

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of tertiary oil production, and particularly relates to a heavy oil well single-well throughput yield increase method. The method concretely comprises the following steps of test oil well screening, single-well throughput process selection and field test. The single-well throughput process is selected by aiming at the characteristics of a heavy oil well; and the oil-water mobility ratio is well reduced, so that the single-well yield of the heavy oil well can be effectively improved. Meanwhile, the heavy oil well single-well throughput yield increase method has the characteristics of simple process, high operability and long validity period. Therefore the method can be widely applied to the field test for improving the single-well yield of the heavy oil well.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for tertiary oil recovery, in particular to a method for increasing production by huffing and puffing of a heavy oil well. Background technique [0002] my country's onshore heavy oil resources account for more than 20% of the total petroleum resources. The national heavy oil resources are about 19.87 billion tons, and the proven geological reserves of heavy oil are about 2.06 billion tons. The crude oil production of heavy oil reservoirs has reached 7% of the total crude oil production, and the development of heavy oil has become an important part of crude oil production in my country. And with the reduction of light oil production reserves, the proportion of heavy oil production will continue to increase. [0003] Due to the high content of asphalt colloid and low wax content, heavy oil has high viscosity, difficult flow, and great difficulty in mining. At present, steam stimulation technology is the main method of ...
