Determination of conditions of hot water-flooding when developing high-viscous oil deposits of pore type collector conditionally homogeneous by permeability
At present, the decision to use thermal methods of oil recovery enhancement is made on the basis of laboratory experiments. However, it is necessary to transfer these "local" data to the real object. How should the results, obtained by means of a formation miniature model, rather homogeneous by its properties, be compared with a macro object, which is significantly different from a laboratory model? The authors attempted to do this with the help of a hydrodynamic model, which on the one hand contains the laboratory research data and on the other - simulates reservoirs macro properties. The paper presents the results of hydrodynamic calculations with showed the possible variety of the results of applying thermal methods of oil recovery enhancement.
