CONTROL METHOD FOR PRODUCTION AND ACTIONS SYSTEM AT WELLS CLUSTER Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC E21B47/00 E21B43/20 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: method provides for use of the production wells. One or several wells are equipped with pump unit with possibility of discharge change. For each production well the deposit or deposits used for production are known. At wellhead of each production well the produced crude oil and oil gas are measured, as well as crude oil watercut is determined. The product wells product is delivered to the gathering header of the wells cluster. The cluster contains one or more injection wells. For each injection well the deposit or deposits used for injection are known. Injectability of the injected water and required injection pressure are determined. Compatibility of the injected water and produced water is studied. Injection is performed upon compatibility of the injected and produced waters. Coordinates of all production and injection wells of the cluster using the same deposits are determined. For each production well time of the produced product lifting is determined from suction of the pump unit to wellhead at maximum discharge. Volume of produced crude oil and oil gas is measured with interval not exceeding half of measured time of fluid lifting for the given well. At wellhead of each well the injected water pressure and its volume are measured. Injected water volume and wellhead pressure are measured with interval not exceeding half of measured time of water supply to the wellhead of each injection well before parker. For each injection well the curve of injected water pressure and volume vs. time is plotted. For each production well using the plotted volume of produced crude oil and oil gas vs. time the relationship with the injected water volume and wellhead pressure is determined, as well as distances to each injection well ensuring injection to the same deposit. For the production wells equipped with pump units with possibility of discharge change such relationships are determined at different discharge. The wells cluster is controlled based on the obtained relationships for all production wells. At that the treated water supply system for injection is made with possibility to change water volume and wellhead pressure for one or more injection wells.

EFFECT: increased efficiency of clusters well control.
