Problems solved by technology

[0003] In order to restore the normal production capacity and prolong the service life of such horizontal wells, the simplest, most economical and most effective way is to implement water blocking and channel sealing operations, but the current water blocking process is inefficient mainly because: It is difficult to judge the section, the screen pipe is completed, there is an external connection, and there is no effective mechanical segmentation method; the horizontal section is long, and it is difficult for general water blocking agents to block water in a targeted manner; after the original water outlet channel is blocked, the water cone flows around Causes short effective period of water blocking

Abstract

The invention provides a water plugging method for a sieve tube horizontal well. The water plugging method includes the following steps that nitrogen is injected into the horizontal well to form a first segment plug; temporary plugging agent powder and water-base plugging adjusting agent powder are injected to form a second segment plug; nitrogen is injected to form a third segment plug; a water-base plugging adjusting agent is injected to form a fourth segment plug; a composite temperature-resistant plugging agent is injected to form a fifth segment plug; a polyacrylamide solution is replacedto form a sixth segment plug; waiting on cement setting is performed, steam of 3,500-35,000 mm<3> is injected, and well is shut in for 24 h; liquefied carbon dioxide is injected to form a seventh segment plug, so that water plugging is completed for the sieve tube horizontal well. The water plugging method for the sieve tube horizontal well is an efficient water plugging method, and water plugging can be realized for a deep part and a well nearby area of the horizontal well.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a water shutoff method, in particular to a water shutoff method for a screen tube horizontal well, and belongs to the technical field of oil reservoir exploitation. Background technique [0002] The production rate of horizontal well is high, and its income is far greater than the cost of drilling and completion, and it has more advantages than vertical well in the production of heavy oil and thick oil layers. However, after long-term mining and frequent implementation of production stimulation measures such as fracturing, steam injection, acidification, etc., as well as structural reasons, horizontal wells are more prone to steam channeling and water channeling during the mining process. Excessive water production affects production capacity. After a water breakthrough occurs in a horizontal well, oil production is drastically reduced, water treatment costs increase, and without proper remedial measures, premature shutdown is...
