Specialists from the Tyumen and Tomsk research institutes of Rosneft have developed and patented a method for determining relative phase permeability – the ability of rocks to pass liquids and gases through themselves. This is the most important indicator when choosing technologies for developing hydrocarbon deposits.
The innovation increases the accuracy of hydrodynamic modeling data by 5%, allows for the optimization of production technology and increases the efficiency of extracting reserves from heterogeneous deposits with complex geological structures.
Scientists have used a comprehensive approach to studying carbonate rocks of Eastern Siberia, which have significant oil and gas potential. Due to the complex and heterogeneous structure of the void space of these rocks, studies using standard methods are not informative enough. The new method includes studying the structure of the pore space of full-size core samples, making special samples from them and repeatedly determining the parameters at different points and planes. This sequence allows us to identify the most likely paths of oil and gas movement in the system of pores and microcracks in rocks and create a highly accurate digital model of hydrocarbon flow.
The work is carried out using high-tech domestic equipment with a unique core holder, which was manufactured according to a design by specialists from the Tomsk scientific institute “Rosneft”.
Development of technological potential is one of the key elements of the corporate strategy “Rosneft-2030”. The company gives priority attention to innovation activities, defining technological leadership as a key factor in competitiveness in the oil market.
