Fracture height control is a key factor for the development of low permeability reservoir, especially for the thin and poor quality zones. Aiming at the challenges of poor capping rock and ample muddy interbedding of formation of block Lu44 in Huabei Oilfield, secondary sanding fracturing technology are conducted as a way of stimulation. The secondary sanding fracturing technology can make a contribution to fracture height control has been proved by using the fracture height migration model. Through FracproPT software, the fracture height is compared between secondary sanding fracturing and conventional fracturing. At the same time, based on the result of numerical simulation, the reasonable fracturing parameters, including second sand volume, second preflush ratio, pump off time and delivery rate, are optimized. The secondary sanding fracturing has a good adptability in Huabei Oilfeild and better production in other wells.
Separation of Yumen Oil Sands by Wet-Grinding and Washing Treatment
Yumen oil sands were chosen as the experimental material to separated oil from oil sands through wet-grinding by light oil and washing treatment by washing agent. The tailing sands were characterized by XRD. The factors includingamount of light oil, amount of washing agent, concentration of washing agent, reaction temperature were also studied. The results showed under the reaction conditions of mass ratio of naphtha to oil sands 0.15, mass ratio of washing agent to oil sands 1.5, concentration of washing agent 8%,reaction temperature 80 ℃, the oil recovery could be up to 96.5%.
