Abstract

In order to improve the production degree of reserves in low permeability oilfield, taking Chang 2 reservoir in Bailangcheng oil region as an example, the movable fluid saturation and its influencing factors were studied by using NMR and high speed centrifugal method, on this basis, the application of movable fluid saturation in low permeability oilfield development is studied. The results show that the pore radius of low permeability reservoir is large, the micro-fine throat is developed, the movable fluid mainly exists in the volume controlled by the throat, the saturation of the movable fluid is low, and the production is difficult. Based on the relationship between the movable fluid saturation and permeability, single well geological reserves and permeability, availability of reserves and remaining movable reserves are evaluated, and the key areas of oilfield development adjustment are determined. According to the movable fluid saturation, the reservoirs are classified to predict the theoretical development effect of the reservoir, and the actual development effect of the oilfield is evaluated by the ratio of the recoverable reserves and movable reserves predicted by the dynamic method, the adjustment space of oil field is analysed. The results of this paper have important reference value for the development policy and adjustment policy of low permeability reservoir.
