ORGANOSILICON CONTAINING COMPOSITIONS FOR ENHANCING HYDROCARBON PRODUCTION AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME

摘要

Compositions useful in the reduction of excessive water in oil and gas wells and other subterranean formations comprises an organosilicon compound and a relative permeability modifier (RPM) macromolecule. The RPM is capable of impeding the production of water. The organosilicon compound is capable of forming a water-soluble silanol by hydrolysis and is preferably either an organosilane halide or organosilane alkoxide. The composition is introduced into the subterranean formation for the purpose of selectively reducing excessive production of aqueous fluids. The composition may be employed in well treatment fluids introduced into production wells or injection wells. The compositions may also be utilized in conjunction with stimulation treatments and with introduction of other well treatment fluids. By introducing the composition into fluid passages of the formation, the water producing zones can be selectively blocked off. Thus, the ability of fluids to flow through the aqueous fluid containing fluid passages is selectively reduced resulting in the reduced production of aqueous fluids while maintaining production of hydrocarbons. Core flow test results show effectiveness at permeability as high as 7.0 Darcy under high rate flow conditions.
