Shui Leilei, Peng Ping’an, Huang Heting, et al. Geochemical monitoring technology of single layer production in commingled producing wells[J]. 2012, 33(2): 314-320.DOI: 10.11743/ogg20120219.
A geochemical monitoring technique is developed through integrating single component separation
quantitative GC analysis of absolute concentration with multi-internal standards
biomarkers GC-MS analysis and carbon isotope analysis.It can rapidly and effectively identify the differences of crude oil produced from different layers.Multiple geochemical production monitoring indexes were selected through clustering statistical analysis and crude oil blend proportion experiment
and their applicability was evaluated.Qualitative GC-MS analysis of the fingerprint compounds verified that they are non-mixed compounds.The fingerprint technology was used to perform separate-layer production monitoring in four commingled producing wells in W1 and W2 oilfields.The error is only about 10% to 15%
indicating that this technology can accurately identify the major pay zone.It is quick and economic and can be combined with production logging.
