Abstract
Water flooding is the most widely used and mature oil field development technology in China. Water flooding development includes water injection flooding and water injection huff and puff. At present, more and more oil fields in China have entered the middle and high water cut stage, and the proportion of reservoirs with low permeability and low abundance is getting higher and higher, which makes oil field development more difficult. How improve the effectiveness of water flooding and improve efficiency of water flooding is the key problem to be solved in oil field water flooding development. This paper briefly introduces the development mode and recovery effect of water flooding in oil fields. The purpose of this paper is to deepen the understanding of the oil fields’ water drive development system and enrich the understanding of the oil fields’ water drive development mechanism, to promote the effective development of the oil fields.
