Areal sweep efficiency of staggered well pattern of horizontal wells in low permeability reservoirs
Online published: 2012-10-20
Bymeans of characteristics of the staggered well water flooding exploitation in lowpermeability reservoirs, and on the basis of streamtubemodel and the Beckley-Leverett equation, the areal sweep efficiency formula and water breakthrough time formula considering start-up pressure gradient were derived for the staggered well pattern of horizontal wells. This theory solved the problems of theoretical calculation of areal sweep efficiency and water breakthrough time on the state of non-Darcy flow. The case study shows that the theoretically calculated results are very close to the reservoir. So this method is scientific and reasonable, and it can be used to quantitatively characterize the reservoir produced degree in staggered well pattern and provide theory basis for development and evaluation of lowpermeability reservoirs.
