Timing of advanced water flooding in low permeability reservoirs

It is very important to design the optimum starting time of water injection for the development of low permeability reservoirs. In this type of reservoir the starting time of water injection will be affected by a reservoir pressure-sensitive effect. In order to optimize the starting time of water injection in low permeability reservoirs, this effect of pressure change on rock permeability of low permeability reservoirs was, at first, studied by physical simulation. It was shown that the rock permeability decreases exponentially with an increase in formation pressure. Secondly, we conducted a reservoir engineering study, from which we obtained analytic relationships between formation pressure, oil production rate, water production rate and water injection rate. After our physical, theoretical and economical analyses, we proposed an approach which takes the pressure-sensitive effect into consideration and designed the optimum starting time of water injection, based on the principle of material balance. Finally, the corresponding software was developed and applied to one block of the Jiangsu Oilfield. It is shown that water injection, in advance of production, can decrease the adverse impact of the pressure-sensitive effect on low permeability reservoir development. A water-flooding project should be preferably initiated in advance of production for no more than one year and the optimum ratio of formation pressure to initial formation pressure should be maintained at a level between 1.05 and 1.2.

Effects of wall wetting and in-cylinder fuel distribution in an advanced turbo-charged engine

One of the proposed concepts for spark ignition engines is advanced port fuel injection(APFI),which suggests using two port injectors for each cylinder.In this research,we numerically examine the capabilities of this concept in reducing fuel consumption and increasing engine performance.The results demonstrated that the use of this concept is very effective due to the use of two injectors and the possibility of reducing the spraying time and bringing the injection start time closer to the air inlet valve opening time.The maximum amount of fuel film formed on the walls is reduced by about 75%,naturally,which leads to better and more homogeneous fuel distribution inside the combustion chamber and increases combustion efficiency.The results showed that under the same boundary conditions and engine operating point,the use of two port injectors for each cylinder leads to an increase of more than 20%of the maximum combustion chamber pressure and about 4%combustion efficiency.On the other hand,fuel film formation becomes worse in cold conditions.So in this study,the capabilities of this concept in cold conditions were investigated too.Investigations have shown that the advanced port fuel injection,unlike conventional engines,is almost insensitive to inlet temperature changes.
