Abstract
Background: In recent years, there has been a trend towards deterioration in the structure of residual reserves at the fields of Kazakhstan. A significant part of the reserves is located in low-permeability reservoirs and in the zones not covered by flooding. The main factor negatively affecting the productivity and efficiency of development is the heterogeneity of oil reservoirs.
Oil-saturated formations are an alternation of permeable oil-saturated sand or limestone and impermeable clay or dolomite layers, lenses and interlayers. Up to 10–20 interlayers can be distinguished within the reservoir, which indicates a strong compartmentalization of the reservoirs. Due to the complexity of the structure of oil deposits, it is very difficult or impossible to ensure complete drainage of the entire volume of the deposit and complete coverage of oil displacement by water into production wells through injection wells.
Aim: Increasing oil recovery in a cost-effective way.
Materials and methods: Experimental studies of the processes of impact on the bottomhole formation zone with high-boiling oil components were carried out using a laboratory machine for diamond drilling, an installation for determining the permeability of a rock in terms of liquid and gas, an installation for determining oil viscosity, and an installation for pumping fracturing fluid into the reservoir model.
Results: As a result of applying the hydraulic fracturing method using high-boiling oil components, it is possible to increase the permeability of low-permeability formations and significantly increase oil recovery.
Conclusion: Due to the geological structure of multi-layer oilfields, water-based gel fracturing fluids to increase oil flow to wells are considered ineffective due to the adsorption of gels with long molecules in the pores of the formation and swelling of the clay particles of the reservoir when they interact with the water-based fluid.
