Abstract:
The paper summarizes the methods and effects of cyclic waterflooding in the southern oilfields of the Daqing Placanticline, discusses the feasibility and necessity of this process in lower permeability reservoirs, and analyzes systematically the main factors which impact the results of cyclic flooding. Production performance is compared and contrasted for fields developed by both conventional, and cyclic waterflooding. Based on field case histories, the impact of cyclic waterflooding on performance at different water cuts is evaluated. It is demonstrated that cyclic flooding should be implemented at low water cuts, but is beneficial at all development stages. Cyclic waterflooding is an effective measure to enlarge sweep volume and enhance conformance efficiency and oil recovery. The practices described can provide guidance for cyclic waterflooding in similar oilfields.
