Resumo: | |||||||||||||
In the last decade, the contribution of Brazilian pre-salt fields in the
national oil production has increased substantially, setting these fields as
responsible for more than half of the national production and with growth
perspectives for years to come. The oil reservoirs found in this region are
characterized by thicknesses which can vary from a few tens to hundreds of
meters, rocks with favorable matrix properties, and the presence of light oil
with a high associated gas content and contaminants such as CO2. Due to these
characteristics, several production systems installed in these reservoirs were
prepared and should adopt water alternating gas injection as supplementary
recovery method. In the present study, a parametric analysis was performed
on the influence that reservoir properties as porous thickness, horizontal
permeability, vertical permeability, and kv/kh ratio, and operating variables
as operating flow rate, WAG ratio, and cycle time can provoke in the recovery
factor in a typical Brazilian pre-salt production scenario with and without the
effect of gravitational segregation. By comparing the results in several cases of
numerical simulation it was possible to identify the variables with the greatest
impact and the influence of the gravity effect on recovery. From a sensitivity
analysis, equations to estimate the recovery factor as a function of the selected
variables or as a function of dimensionless numbers proposed in the literature
to assess the gravitational segregation of fluids in porous media were adjusted.
The recovery factor estimates made with each function were compared with
the simulated values for each case and the functions that presented the best
estimates were identified. Such functions can be used to estimate the recovery
factor in the application scenario with application in preliminary analyzes for
oil field development projects.
