  • Patent number: 10174612
    Abstract: A first water injection into an injection well is carried out followed by a first shut-in of the injection well. A second water injection is carried out, a volume of the injected water exceeds several times a volume of water in the well in an intake interval. Then there is a second shut-in of the injection well, and during the second shut-in transient temperature profiles are registered within the intake interval by temperature sensors. Then a third water injection step is carried out and at an initial stage of the third injection transient temperature profiles in the intake interval are registered using the temperature sensors. The transient temperature profiles registered during the second shut-in period are analyzed and intake zone boundaries are determined. The transient temperature profiles registered at the initial stage of the third water injection are analyzed and a water intake profile is determined.

  • Publication number: 20180245463
    Abstract: For determining a water cut of an oil-water mixture produced from an oil well at least one Venturi tube is placed in a well, through which an oil-water mixture, produced from a selected well segment, enters the borehole. During production process, pressure at a Venturi tube inlet and in a Venturi tube throat are measured, and flow temperature of the produced oil-water mixture at the Venturi tube inlet and the temperature of the Venturi tube wall in the Venturi tube throat are measured. Based on the results of the pressure and temperature measurements, the water cut of the oil-water mixture produced from the selected well segment is determined.

  • Publication number: 20160312594
    Abstract: The method for orienting hydraulic fractures in a subterranean formation comprises injecting a first fluid into a first horizontal wellbore penetrating the subterranean formation and open to the formation in at least one specified segment and pressurizing the first fluid in the first wellbore to create a stress field around each specified segment of the first wellbore. A second pressurized fracturing particle-laden fluid is simultaneously injected into a second horizontal wellbore open to the formation in at least one specified segment and vertically spaced apart from the first wellbore for inducing fractures propagating from the specified segments of the second wellbore towards the specified pressurized segments of the first wellbore.
