An analysis of the influence of the technological mode of the gathering system of the oil field on the efficiency of geological and technical actions

Abstract

Field development at a late stage is characterized by high water-cut and considerable volumes of produced water that causes field pipeline congestion. An increase in the volume of produced water entails an increase in hydraulic resistance in pipeline sections, which may limit the effect of ongoing geological and technical actions to intensify oil production. As a result, the production rates decrease at neighboring wells, but at the same time, the hydraulic resistance in the sections of overloaded pipelines increases. In this regard, it makes sense to determine the boundary, which allows you to observe the balance between the increase in amount of geological and technical actions and the current field pipeline congestion.
