Investigation of Cyclic Electrolytic Solutions Injection in Clay-Containing Oil Reservoirs

Kadet VV and Chagirov PS*

Analysis of osmotic and ion exchange processes at the interface between injected agent and clay-containing rock has been carried out. The analysis allowed to obtain reservoir properties depending on ionic composition of the injected water and clay-content of reservoir. It’s been shown that decrease of salinity of the injected agent leads to the transformation of the structure of the porous medium: share of «thin» pores increases, whereas the share of «thick» pores reduces, resulting in reduced porosity. Analytical relative permeabilities depending on the salt concentration and ion composition of injected fluid have been obtained on the basis of micromechanical description of fluid flow process in frame of the lattice model of porous medium. The modeling of two-phase Newtonian fluids flow in clay-containing porous medium has been carried out. The influence of parameters of porous medium, injected saline fluid also injection frequency on efficiency of oil displacement has been analyzed.
