1 e Open Petroleum Engineering Journal, 2009, 2, Open Access Endpoint Mobility Ratios for Vertical and Horizontal Wells it Incidence of Scale Deposition A. Olufemi Bamidele *,1, A.S. Fadairo 2 and O.A. Falode 1 1 Department of Petroleum Engineering, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria 2 Department of Petroleum Engineering, Covenant University, Otta, Nigeria Abstract: One of te most difficult and profit urting problems found in te oil field is te build-up of scale deposits in te bore, production string, flo lines and even in storage tanks. ese deposits act as a restriction during build-up in te bore causing a gradual decrease in production and, in many cases, as a solid barrier fobore fluid flo. is paper presents an analytical model based on te existing termodynamic model soing te endpoint mobility ratios for bot vertical and orizontal s it te incidence of scale precipitation and deposition at te neabore region during ater flooding. e results revealed tat Endpoint mobility ratio for a vertical it radial flo approaces unity 1 faster tan for te orizontal it elliptical flo. And orizontal s are good candidates for managing scale precipitation and deposition during aterflooding. INRODUCION Scaling penomenon is a major problem tat occurs en ater is injected for oil displacement and pressure maintenance in oilfields [1-3]. is penomenon of precipitation and accumulation of oilfield scale is due to incompartibility beteen formation and te injected ater induced around te bore after ater breaktroug at reduced reservoir pressure [4,5]. e effects result in formation damage ic negatively impact reservoir performance, bore performance and te success of aterflooding project tat depends on mobility ratio [6,7]. Supplementary recovery results from increasing te natural energy of te reservoir, usually by displacing te ydrocarbons toards te producing s it some injected fluid. By far te most common fluid injected is ater because of its availability, lo cost and ig specific gravity ic facilitates injection. e basic mecanics of oil displacement by ater can be understood by considering te mobilities of te separate fluids. e mobility of any fluid is defined as: KKr (1) μ ic, considering Darcy's la [8], can be seen to be directly proportional to te velocity of flo. Also included in tis expression is te term kr /μ, ic is referred to as te relative mobility. e favourable type of displacement ill only occur if *Address correspondence to tis autor at te Department of Petroleum Engineering, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria; el: ; s: ofemidele@yaoo.com, ofemidele@gmail.com K K ro M 1 (2) ere M is knon as te end point mobility ratio and, since bot K ro and K are te end point relative permeabilities, is a constant. If M 1 it means tat, under an imposed pressure differential, te oil is capable of travelling it a velocity equal to, or greater tan, tat of te ater. Since it is te ater ic is pusing te oil, tere is terefore, no tendency for te oil to be by-passed ic results in te sarp interface beteen te fluids. is displacement is called "piston-like displacement". Its most attractive feature is tat te total amount of oil tat can be recovered from a linear reservoir block ill be obtained by te injection of te same volume of ater. is is called te movable oil volume ere, 1( MOV ) (1 S or S c ) (3) e unfavourable displacement ic unfortunately is more common in nature, occurs en M > 1. In tis case, te ater is capable of travelling faster tan te oil and, as te ater puses te oil troug te reservoir, te latter ill be by-passed. Water tongues develop leading to te unfavourable ater saturation profile. Aead of te ater front oil is again floing in te presence of connate ater. is is folloed, in many cases, by a aterflood front, or sock front, in ic tere is a discontinuity in te ater saturation. ere is ten a gradual transition beteen te sock front saturation and te maximum saturation, S 1 S or (4) At a constant rate of ater injection, te fact tat muc more ater must be injected, in te unfavourable case, / Bentam Open

In addition, pockets of bypassed oil are created ic may never be recovered. MODE DEVEOPMEN Assuming an idealised flo, Fadairo and Omole [6,7] expressed te effect of scale build up on permeability variation, skin factor and additional pressure drop across te skin based on exponential sape for bot porosity and permeability damage function as; K i 1 F dc ere is defined as te instantaneous permeability as a result of solid scale saturation near a vertical bore region it exponent of 3 [2,9]. e effect of oil field scale build up on te skin factor at different pore volume of sea ater injected can be expressed as; K [1F dc (5) 1] ln r s (6) Endpoint Mobility ratio for a radial flo of ater it te incidence of scale deposition around a vertical bore can terefore be expressed as: KK M P n r oil μ + q n r ater + s (7) Wile Endpoint Mobility ratio for an elliptical flo of ater it te incidence of scale deposition around a orizontal bore can be expressed as: 141.2P KK + q ln a + a 2 + ( 2) 2 + ln 2 2r + s orizontal M ln a + a2 + ( 2) 2 + ln 2 2r e details of te derivation can be seen in te Appendix A and B. RESUS AND DISCUSSION Horizontal Well engt: Fig. (1) revealed tat as te orizontal lengt increases, mobility ratio also increases, and, beyond 1300 ft it becomes unfavourable and greater tan unity resulting in premature breaktoug of ater. Pore Water Injected: As te ater injected increases, mobility ratio increases and faster to approac te value of unity 1 (for a stable and pistonlike displacement to occur) for 1500ft orizontal lengt. Hoever, it least approac unity for a 100ft reservoir (Fig. 2). Skin Factor: It is son in Fig. (3) tat mobility ratio increases it increasing formation damage. As te orizontal lengt increases from 100 feet (ft) to 600 feet (ft), mobility ratio is greater tan unity and becomes muc more unfavourable for reservoir tickness of 60ft. Mobility Ratio of Radial and Elliptical Flo: Endpoint mobility ratio for a vertical radial flo approaces unity 1 faster tan for te orizontal elliptical flo. is results in te by-passing of oil and consequently te premature breaktroug of ater (Fig. 4).
