A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONFORMANCE CONTROL IN A SUBTERRANEAN RESERVOIR

摘要

A system and method for optimizing the design of a conformance control treatment for a subterranean reservoir is disclosed. The system and method include performing tracer analysis between an injection well and a production well. A flow capacity and storage capacity curve is constructed from the tracer analysis. A storage capacity associated with a threshold residence time is determined using the flow capacity and storage capacity curve. A conformance control treatment is determined for the storage capacity associated with the threshold residence time. A chemical slug is injected into the injection well to increase the flow resistance in high permeability regions of a subterranean reservoir, thereby enhancing the recovery of hydrocarbons from the reservoir.
