Abstract

This paper study on the permeability, start-up pressure gradient and stress sensitivity of advance water injection in extra-low permeability reservoir in Fuyu Oil layer of Daqing Oilfield. Experimental results show that the reasonable formation pressure level should be at about 120% in the advance water injection experiment, advanced water injection in the the early stage have higher oil production, the water breakthrough, earlier than synchronous water injection has certain inhibitory effect of water cut rise; Under the premise of advance water injection can overcome the start-up pressure, the lower the level of the reservoir permeability, the higher improve recovery efficiency of the proportion; permeability retention rate increase by about 22% with 5×10-3μm2 core and effectively overcome the stress sensitivity of low permeability reservoir damage; Advanced water injection can overcome stress sensitivity and restoring formation pressure, all that influence the start-up pressure gradient, which significantly reduce the start-up pressure gradient.
