建立油田开发地质学应用分支的构想

Establishing applied divisions of oilfield development geology

针对传统开发地质学已不能满足蓬勃发展的多元化开采技术需要的实际情况,论述了建立油田开发地质学应用分支的必要性。从开发技术应用和发展的角度,提出了近期内将油田开发地质学划分为水驱开发地质学和三次采油开发地质学两个应用分支,开展个性化、专门化研究的构想。在传统开发地质学的基础上,水驱开发地质学目前重点发展水平井和调剖(驱)开发地质;三次采油开发地质学重点发展聚合物驱开发地质、化学复合驱开发地质、微生物采油地质和热力学法采油地质。应用分支的建立和发展要以相应的开发机理研究为基础,围绕油田开发设计需要,制定相应的研究内容、方法和规范,并通过开发实践逐步发展和完善。

Conventional oilfield development geology is no longer able to meet the demand of the flourishing development techniques. Aimed at this situation, this paper discusses the necessity to establish the applied divisions of development geology. According to the tendency of the application and development of oilfield development techniques,it suggests that within the near future, oilfield development geology be divided into two divisions （water-flooding geology and tertiaryrecovery geology） and individualized and specialized research is conducted on them. Though both are on the basis of conventional geology, water-flooding geology focuses on the development geology for horizontal well and profile controlling, while tertiary-recovery geology emphasizes the construction of development geology for polymer flooding, combination chemical flooding, microbe-enhanced oil recovery, and thermal recovery. The research contents, methods and criteria for the establishment and development of the applied divisions of oilfield development geology should be based on the studies about recovery mechanisms, focused on the demand of oilfield development design, and continuously developed and improved.
