QUANTITATIVE MONITORING OF GASFLOODING IN OIL-BEARING RESERVOIRS BY USE OF A PULSED-NEUTRON TOOL
We developed a new method to monitor gasflooding of oil reservoirs. The method is based on computing two porosities: the base true porosity determined before gasflooding and monitor-apparent neutron porosity determined after gasflooding. The base and monitor porosities provide determination of a hydrogen index of the reservoir fluid after the flooding. The hydrogen index is then used to determine saturation of the flood agent after flooding and, consequently, saturation of water and oil after flooding. An example of quantitative analysis of base and monitor logs illustrates monitoring of CO2 flooding by use of the described method.
