Description
Summary:The share of oil contained in low-permeable reservoirs increases, the average size and oil reserves of the discovered fields decrease, the main geological and physical parameters of productive strains deteriorate. Accordingly, for low-permeable fields, the choice of the development system and the optimal density of the grid of wells is one of the main issues. In addition, the problem of optimizing the density of the grid of wells is related to the implementation of enhanced oil recovery methods. In the field, where the well grid density is not optimized, the application of high-tech methods of enhanced oil recovery will not be effective. Thus, the purpose of this work is to substantiate the effective density of the grid of wells for low-permeability reservoir conditions.
