3.1CapacityBuildingStage,1994
WellsLuo801and805havebeenfinisheddrillinginBlockLuo801inAprilandMay1994respectively.SinceindustrialoilflowobtainedinS3andS4,theblockwasunderrollingdevelopmentasinthesameyear,anoilbearingareaof1.25km2wentintooperationinvolvingoilreserves291×104twithanewproductioncapability6×104t.InDecember1994,16wellswereopenedandproduced446toffluidand417tofoilperdaywiththewatercut6.5%,oilproductionrate5.23%,recoverypercentage3.16%,outputting9.2097×104tofoilannually.
3.2NaturalEnergyDevelopmentStage,1995–May1998
Thisstagefeaturesrelyingonnaturalenergywhenthereservoirwasdevelopedatahighspeed.Withtheformationpressuredroppingrapidly,theproductiondeclinedfastwhenitfellfrom17.34MPato6.47MPawithapressuredropupto10.87MPa,lessthan30%ofthesaturationpressure9.24MPa.Theelasticyieldis3.81⨯104t/MPa.Theannualoutputofoildecreasedfromthehighest11.9×104tto6.3×104t,withtheannualdeclining12%.Lateinthisstage,16wellswereopen,producing328.3tofliquidand195.3tofoilperdaywiththewatercut40.5%,whoseworkingfluidlevelwas958m.Inthisstage,theoiloutputreached30.3114×104tattherecoverypercentage10.4%.Cumulativeoilproductionwas39.5211×104tcovering13.58%ofthereserves.
3.3FloodingDevelopmentStage,June1998-June1999
BlockLuo801wasdevelopedbyfloodinginJune1998,firstwithWellsL801-7,L801-15,L801-17.Attheendofthisstage,13wellswereopen,producing259.6tofliquidand96.7tofoilperdaywiththewatercut62.8%.Theworkingfluidlevelwas1399m.Atthisstage,2.3612×104tofoil,0.81%ofthereserves,wasobtained.Thecumulativeoilproductionreached41.8823×104t,14.39%ofthereserves.
3.4MEORTestStage,July1999-December2010
MEORwaslaunchedinLuo801inJuly1999.Intheinitialphase,micro-organismswasinjectedintothreeinjectionwells(L801-7,L801-15,L801-17),inSeptember2002therecoverypatternwasadjustedtohavethemiddletwoinjectionwells(L801-3,L801-18)injectedwiththeaidofaircompressorsinjectingair.
AsofDecember2010,14oilwellsinLuo801wereputintooperation,12wereopenedandproducing448.2tofliquidand60.3tofoilperday.Thecumulativeoilrecoverywas85.6572×104twiththewatercut86.5%,covering28.17%ofthereserves.Theoilproducingratewas0.77%.Atotaloffiveinjectionwellswereopened,injecting316.2m3perdaywithacumulativeinjection110.023×104m3.Themonthlyinjection-productionratiowas0.71andthecumulativeinjection-productionratiowas0.40.TwoMEORtestwellswereinjectedwith145m3ofwaterperday.
