Description
Summary:In-depth isolation of flooded-out reservoir zones is widely used in water injection and water production control in oilfields. This paper looks at the research results of a new technological solution - a method and mechanism of deep-penetrating insulation of highly permeable reservoir areas. Approximate mathematical models are used to describe oil-saturated reservoirs flooding with chemical compositions used as a displaced fluid. The mathematical model of the problem is reduced to a partial differential equation with initial boundary conditions. The article also presents the results of the numerical implementation of the transfer equations of concentrations of gel-forming components and a thickener. In a non-uniform grid domain, the problem at hand is replaced by a discrete problem using a combination of an explicit and implicit-difference scheme that increases the order of accuracy and is solved by the run-through method. Effective algorithms for solving the one-dimensional problem are obtained, taking into account the equations of adsorption and convective diffusion. The developed method increases the efficiency of the in-deep isolation treatment of flushed zones and can be applied to related reservoir flooding projects.
