Abstract

Strong heterogeneity is normally appeared in the carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East. The M oilfield is the one which is more prominent located in the southern part of Iraq. There is a high permeability layer exists in the X formation of the main reservoir, which leads to large difference in permeability. Water injection connectivity and heterogeneity need to be confirmed. In order to solve the problem, the tracer technology is used to track injection water, and then the relevant numerical model is used to analyze and interpretation. The research results show that T-1 injection well group have seen tracers to varying degrees which identified X formation exists heterogeneity and the presence of a thin layer of high permeability in the X-family of the M oilfield in Iraq affects the development of water injection is also confirmed by the bimodal characteristics of the tracer output. The research results of this paper is applicable to the Middle East marine tectonic gap type carbonate reservoirs, and the analyzed data and results are especially useful for the carbonate reservoirs with strong heterogeneity with water injection development.
