Effects of the rate of carbon dioxide injection at the initial gas-water contact on the recovery factor

Oleksandr Kondrat, Serhii Matkivskyi, O. Burachok, L. Haidarova
Abstract

The process of carbon dioxide injection into the initial gas-water contact with different rates of its injection, using a 3D model of a gas condensate reservoir, has been investigated. Calculations were carried out for one well injection rate of non-hydrocarbon gas: 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 th.m3/day. According to the calculated results, it has been found that with an increased rate of the carbon dioxide injection into a productive reservoir, the operation duration of production wells decreases until the moment of the carbon dioxide breakthrough. Based on the technological indicators’ analysis of the gas condensate reservoir’s development, it has been found that the introduction of the carbon dioxide injecting technology leads to a reduction in the production of formation water. Due to the injection of non-hydrocarbon gases, a hydrodynamic barrier is created on the initial gas-water contact boundary, which decreases the water influx. Also, the introduction of carbon dioxide injection technology will additionally create an artificial barrier between water and natural gas, which blocks the selective water encroaching and thereby ensure stable waterless operation of production wells. Based on the conducted calculations, the main dependencies have been derived and the corresponding patterns between them have been established. According to the results of the statistical processing of the calculated data, the optimal carbon dioxide injection rate has been determined. At the time of the carbon dioxide breakthrough into the producing well, its optimal well injection rate is 58.17 th.m3/day. The ultimate gas recovery factor for the optimal carbon dioxide injection rate is 63.29 %. Under the same conditions during depletion, the ultimate natural gas recovery factor is 53.98%. The results of the carried out studies indicate the technological efficiency of carbon dioxide injection into the initial gas-water contact in order to slow down the formation water encroaching into productive reservoir
