METHOD FOR REDUCTION OF WATER INFLUX TO HORIZONTAL HOLE IN FRACTURED-POROUS TYPE RESERVOIR Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC E21B43/12 E21B43/14 E21B43/08 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: method includes determination of an average distance between fractures, division of the horizontal hole in sections by packers, running in of devices for water influx control at the tubing string to the horizontal hole, product withdrawal from the horizontal well. At that the horizontal hole is divided by water-swellable packers into sections with length of each section from 20 m up to 50 m depending on the distance between fractures and length of the horizontal hole. The devices for water influx control in the horizontal hole have openings in walls with diameter d, which is comparable to the size of oil capillary tubes for this reservoir and the openings are made of water-repellent material. Length of each device for water influx control is from 5 m up to 12 m, and total number of devices does not exceed 5 pieces between packers in each section, total number of the openings N in devices for water influx control in the whole horizontal hole, depression and diameter d of the openings is determined by the ratio. Product from the well is produced provided that hydrodynamic forces created by bottomhole pressure do not exceed capillary forces of oil movement through openings in the devices for water influx control, i.e. depression in the well meets the above ratio.

EFFECT: increase in oil recovery factor.
