Design method and application of accurate adjustment scheme for water injection wells around adjustment wells

Affected by the surrounding injection and production wells, the formation near the infill adjustment well is in an abnormal pressure state, and drilling and completion operations are prone to complex situations and accidents such as leakage and overflow. The conventional shut-in method is to close all water injection wells around the adjustment well to ensure the safety of the operation, but at the same time reduce the oil field production. This paper proposes a design method for shut-in of water injection wells around adjustment wells based on injection-production data mining. This method uses water injection index and liquid productivity index as target parameters to analyze the correlation between injection and production wells. Select water injection wells with a high correlation and combine other parameters such as wellhead pressure and pressure recovery speed to design accurate adjustment schemes. Low-correlation wells do not take shut-in measures. This method was applied to 20 infill adjustment wells in the Penglai Oilfield. The correlation between injection and production wells was calculated using the data more than 500 injection wells and production wells. After a single adjustment well is drilled, the surrounding injection wells can increase the water injection volume by more than 5000 m3. This method achieves accurate adjustment for water injection wells that are high correlated with the adjustment well. Under the premise of ensuring the safety of drilling operations, the impact of drilling and completion on oilfield development is minimized, and oilfield production efficiency is improved. It has good application and promotion value.
