Simulation Technique for Gel Treatment's Prediction and Optimisation

SIMULATION TECHNIQUE FOR GEL TREATMENT’S PREDICTION AND OPTIMIZATION Fedorov K.M. (Tyumen State University) Guzeev V.V. Pichugin O.N. Myasnikova N.I. (LUKOIL-West Siberia) Abstract Gel treatments of producers and injectors give good results in waterflood conformance improvement and have a wide application practice in West Siberia. The main hydrodynamic problem of treatment programme planning is conjunction of two simulating objectives with different scales: the local scale gel slug placement in a near wellbore zone and flow diverting in a full reservoir scale. A novel simulator for gel treatment modeling was proposed. The main target of the simulator is optimization of treatment parameters
