AI Technical Summary
Under the condition of no interlayer, the water content of horizontal wells is high, resulting in rapid changes in the water content of the production fluid, making it difficult to achieve oil stabilization and water control.
Through the first pipe column, chemical packers are injected between the sandproof screen pipe and the horizontal well formation to create a buffer tank, increasing the difficulty of formation water entering the wellbore. When the water content of the output liquid changes rapidly, chemical plugging agent is injected into the buffer chamber through the electrically controlled distribution device of the second pipe string to create an artificial partition to increase the liquid seepage resistance of the buffer chamber.
It realizes stable production in horizontal wells without partitions, reduces moisture content, and improves the water control effect of the wellbore.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of petrochemical industry, and in particular to a water control process pipe string for a horizontal well with compartments without interlayers. Background Art
[0002] Offshore oilfield production wells are mainly developed in the form of directional wells and horizontal wells. Some horizontal wells have large liquid production and high water content, and the platform processing capacity is limited, resulting in the shutdown of some wells with high water content, resulting in loss of oilfield production capacity. There are three main water flooding modes for horizontal wells: linear overall water flooding, multi-point overall / local water flooding, and point-like local water flooding. Under the condition of no interlayer in the formation, horizontal wells are mostly produced by combined production, without effective water control measures, resulting in the inability to reduce water content. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a compartmented water control process string for horizontal wells without interlayers to achieve stable oil and water control in horizontal wells without interlayers.

When the water content of the produced fluid changes / rises rapidly, a chemical plugging agent is injected into the buffer compartment through the second electrically controlled production distributor of the second string, and an artificial barrier is created in the near-wellbore area. The formation fluid in the buffer compartment can only enter the second string through the first electrically controlled production distributor and the third electrically controlled production distributor, thereby increasing the seepage resistance of the produced fluid in the buffer compartment and achieving the purpose of stabilizing oil and controlling water in the horizontal well without interlayer.
