في مجال استكشاف وإنتاج النفط والغاز، فإن فهم البيئة تحت السطحية أمر بالغ الأهمية لتحقيق أقصى قدر من استرداد الموارد. تُعد تقنية تسجيل-حقن-تسجيل (LIL)، وهي عملية تستفيد من قياسات التسجيل قبل وبعد حقن السوائل، أداة قوية لهذا الغرض، حيث توفر رؤى قيّمة حول خصائص الخزان وتحسين أداء الآبار.
تسجيل-حقن-تسجيل، كما يوحي اسمها، تشمل ثلاث خطوات رئيسية:
من خلال مقارنة بيانات التسجيل الأولية وبيانات التسجيل المتكررة، توفر LIL معلومات قيّمة حول:
تُعد LIL تقنية متعددة الاستخدامات مع تطبيقات مختلفة في صناعة النفط والغاز، بما في ذلك:
تُعد تسجيل-حقن-تسجيل أداة قوية للحصول على رؤى قيّمة حول التكوينات تحت السطحية وتحسين أداء الآبار. من خلال دمج قياسات التسجيل مع أنشطة الحقن، توفر LIL معلومات مفصلة حول حركة السوائل، واستجابة الخزان، وكفاءة الحقن. هذه المعرفة تُمكن المهندسين من اتخاذ قرارات مدروسة لتحسين الإنتاج، وتحقيق أقصى قدر من استرداد النفط، وتقليل التكاليف التشغيلية. مع سعي الصناعة إلى إنتاج النفط والغاز بشكل أكثر كفاءة واستدامة، ستستمر LIL في لعب دور حيوي في تحقيق هذه الأهداف.

Scenario: An oil company is planning to implement a waterflood operation in a new reservoir. They have conducted initial logging and determined the following:
After injecting water into the reservoir, they repeat the logging and observe the following changes:
Task:
Based on the changes in logging data, analyze the effectiveness of the waterflood operation. Discuss the following aspects:
**1. Sweep Efficiency:** The waterflood operation seems to be moderately successful. The decrease in oil saturation from 35% to 25% indicates that the injected water has successfully displaced some of the oil. However, the remaining oil saturation suggests that there might be areas where water hasn't reached or hasn't been effective in displacing oil. Further analysis is needed to understand the flow patterns and identify areas with low sweep efficiency. **2. Formation Response:** The decrease in reservoir temperature suggests that the injected water is effectively cooling the formation. This is a positive sign, indicating that the water is moving through the reservoir and interacting with the surrounding rock. **3. Potential Issues:** While the overall waterflood appears to be making progress, there are a few potential concerns: * The decrease in temperature might be caused by cold water injection, which could affect the viscosity of oil and potentially reduce its mobility. This could lead to a less efficient sweep. * The remaining oil saturation indicates that the waterflood might not be fully displacing the oil. This could be due to various factors like low permeability zones, preferential flow paths, or incomplete displacement mechanisms. * Further analysis of the logging data is needed to identify these potential issues and adjust the waterflood strategy accordingly.
