Description
y 19447 L w. A. HEATH I METHOD OF RECOVERING HYDROCARBQNS Filed Nov. 10, 1941 o OUTPUT WELLS o 'INPUII' WELLS INVENTOR WILLIS A. HEATH BY flake,-
O OUTPUT WELLS 0 INPUT WELLS "7 ORNEY vciris byway oi the open pores. Thus, fluid, which has entered or which was already com tained in the blind pores becomes trapped therein, from. which it cannot be recovered unless the principal direction of fluid flow in thereser= voir is-changed.
In order to change the direction of flow of the injected fluid and thereby recover the oil which is trapped in the blind pore regions or the formation, I shut in output wells 292, 23, 24, 25,26, and 21, withdrawingno fluid therefrom; I open input wells l and H to the atmosphere so that the pressure on the well approaches atmospheric pressure; I maintain input wells ill, ii, iii, and at a superatmospheric injection pressure or P; I maintain a reduced superatmospherlc pressure of p, on input wells ll, it, it, l6, l9, and it. This reduced pressure, p, may be any desired superatmospheric pressure less than pressure P, however, I have found that by maintaining the reduced superatmospheric pressure approximately one-half of the injection pressure I obtain sat isfactory performance of my method. By thus adjusting the pressures on the input wells, the principal movement of fluid through the reservoir will be in the general direction of input wells l5 and H, as indicated by the large full arrows on Figure 1. A minormovement of fluid also takes place between the input wells which are subjected to pressure P and the input wells which are subjected to pressure 1:. There is also a minor move ment of fluid between this latter group of wells and the input wells which are open to the atmos phere. These minor movements are indicated by the small full arrows on the drawing. It will be noted that the direction of flow from all input wells is changed, excepting that from wells ill, l2, l8, and 20. By changing the direction of 'movement of fluid through .the reservoir for a prede termined length of time, as predicted by the reservoir conditions, hydrocarbon oil which was trapped in the blind pores by the movement of fluid through the reservoir previous to the initiation of my instant method is removed from those pores and is caused to flow into the open interconnected pore spaces through which it may be urged to the output wells, when the conventional method of fluid-drive is resumed. Prior to resuming the conventional method of fluid-drive,
- a step in which input wells it and I6 are opened to the atmosphere is practiced, wells ii, til, it, and 2! are subjected to superatmospheric pressure P; and wells 96, i2, i5, ll, 88, and mare subjectedto superatmospheric pressure, p. Thus, the general direction of the principal movement 'of fluid in the reservoir, which is also maintained for a predetermined length of time, is toward input wells l4 and I6, as indicated by the large broken arrows. It is to be noted that the direction of the principal movement of fluid in the reservoir, which-is toward input wells l4 and it that are opened to the atmosphere, is substantially across the direction of the principal movement of fluid resulting from input wells l5 and H be ing opened to the atmosphere. Minor movements of fluid in the reservoir also take place between those input wells which are subjected to pressure P, and those which are subjected to pressure p, and between the latter input wells and input wells I4 and I6, as indicated by the small broken arrows. During the step of my instant invention in which input wells [4 and iii are opened to the atmosphere, hydrocarbon oil which has been trapped in the blind" pores that occur in the formation between input wells l0, l2, l8, and 20 enemas and the output wells is caused to flow to the open interconnected pores through which the oil is urged to the output wells, when the conventional method of fluid-drive is resumed. After the direction of fluid movement in the reservoir has been changed by the steps as set forth, all input wells are subjected to the superatmospheric pressure P, and hydrocarbon fluid is withdrawn from output wells 2'2, 23, 24, 25, 2d, and 2'5. Fluid is injected into all input wells until it again becomes necessary to repeat the steps of my instant invention.
Turning next to Figure 2 for a description of a modification of my instant invention, it will be noted that the input and output wells are designated by the same reference numerals as in Figure 1. When it is'desired in the practice of fluiddrive operations to apply this modification, output wells 22, 23, Hi, 25, 2d, and 2? are shut in. Input wells, i5, i6, and ll are opened to the atmosphere and sufllcient fluid is injected into input wells it, it, l2, it, it, 59, ill, and 25 to maintain a superatmospheric pressure P, thereon. This pressure is preferably that at which normal fluid-drive operations were carried out. The movement of fluid in the reservoir is efiected between the last mentioned group of input wells and the input wells which are opened to the at-- mosphere for a predetermined length of time as predicated by the reservoir conditions in order to remove hydrocarbon oil from the blind pores. The general direction of the movement of the fluid in the reservoir is indicated by the large full arrows on'Figure 2. Minor fluid movements are generally indicated by the small full arrows on Figure 2. Next input wells ill, id, it, l2, l6, and Eli are opened to the atmosphere and input wells ll, i5, i9, 33, ll, and 28 are subjected to the superatmospheric pressure P, and fluid is moved through the reservoir toward the input wells which are open to the atmosphere, as generally indicated by the broken arrows. When the hydrocarbon oil, which has beentrapped in the blind pores of the formation has been removed therefrom to the open interconnecting pore spaces, fluid is again injected into input wells it, it, i8, l2, l6, and 2t, increasing the pressure on these wells to superatmospherie pressure P while continuing to maintain the remaining input wells, namely, wells it, l5, l9, l3, ll, and M at said superatmospheric pressure, P; output wells 2'2, 23, 2d, 25, 2 5, and 21 are opened up to production; and normal fluid-drive operations are resumed. When oil again becomes trapped in the blind" pores, the practice of this modification of my invention'may be resumed.
From the foregoing, it is believed that the many advantages obtainable by the practice of the present invention will be readily apparent to persons skilled in the art. However, since certain changes may be made in carrying out the above method without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims, it is intended that all matter contained herein shall be interpreted as illustrative and explanatory, rather than in a limiting sense.
