The indicator study role in determining path of motion of formation fluids in the development of a fractured reservoir field

The high rate of oil production with the use of water flooding, complex geological and physical conditions of the carbonate reservoir of the deposit (fractures, faults) lead to progressive watering of the extracted products. The field has considerable oil reserves and is at the development stage II, the average water cut is more than 60%, most of the remaining reserves pass into reserves difficult to recover category. This article focuses on determining relations between blocks and practical application of the results of indicator study method in order to determine the porosity and permeability properties of fractured carbonate formations. According to this study method, the introduction of complementary technologies to improve the existing development system was proposed.
