    The metho d for identification of residual oil from the dataof flow of two tracers with different solubility in oil isdeveloped for fractured-porous mervo irs.

    The solubility of tracer in the immobile phase (oil,retrograde condensate) leads the lag of the tracer frontpropagation behind the displacement front.The ratio of thetracer front velocity and the velocity of total flux is determ ined

    by the saturation of imm obile phase. It allows us to determin ethe saturation of the residual hydrocarbon phase from the dataof flow of two tracers with the different magnitude of theconstant of tracer distribution between the water (gas) and oil(condensate).

    A new equations for flow of two tracers in fractured-porous media re derived. Both diffusive and convectivemechanisms of the tracer mass transfer between blocks andfractures are taken into account. The hydraulic interactionbetween fluxes in cracks and in m atrix is described as well.Problem of one-dimensional flow leads to the linear system ofhyperbolic equations. Analytical solution for 1D problem ofinjection of water (gas) with the two tracers is obtained.Results of theoretical prediction oftr cers wave propagationare in a good agreement with the data of laboratoryexperiments.

    Exact explicit formulae for propagation of theconcentration wave of two tracers allows us to solve aninverse problem. Method for improved characterization offractured-wrous media from data of twotracers concentrationson the ex of re se ~o irs developed Measurement of the firsttracer concentration allows us to determine the followingproperties of fractured-porousmedia: fractional flow function(fraction of the flux via fracturesin the total flux); fraction ofporous space of cracks in the total space of fractured-porousmedia; coefficient of mass transfer between fractures andmatrix. Information about the concentration of the secondtracer permits us to determine the saturation of the immo bilephase separately in fractures and in blocks.

    INTRODUCTION

    The problem of identification of the residual oil afterwaterflooding is important for making a decision about thetertiary EOR methods application.

    A method of two tracers test is used to determine thesaturation of residual oil in porous media [I]. The first traceris dissolved in the water phase only, the second tracer couldedissolved in water and oil both. The first tracer moves with

    the velocity of flow in porous media. The velocity of thesecond tracer is lower comparing with the velocity of the f i t

    one (chrom atography effect). The delay of the second tracercomparing with the first one allows us to determine thesaturation of oil in the porous m edia.

    In fractured-porous media the fast breakthroug h of theinjected water via fractures and capillary imbibition in matrixform the contrast saturations of residual oil in blocks and infissures [2] Distribution of the residual o il between blocksand fractures can be determined by two tracer methodapplication.

    In the paper presented we investigate how to determinesaturation of residual oil in blocks and in fractures andproperties of fractured-porous media from the two tracer testanalyses data.

    Analogous problem arises with the gas recycling in gascondensate fractured-porous reservoirs. Saturation of thehydrocarbon liquid (retrograde condensate, residual oil) inmatrix and in fractures are different. Measurements ofconcentration of two co mponen ts with the different solubilityin hydrocarbon liquid allows us to determine saturations inblocks and in matrix. If the initial reservoir fluid containedsour componen ts (carbon dioxide, nitrogen) theycan be usedas a natural tracers lean gas canbe injected into the reservoirwithout additives. f the reservoir fluid contained hydrocarboncomponents only sour components could be used as anariilicial tracers.

    The problem of injection of two ar ti f~ ia lracers leads tothe following initial andboundary conditions:

    The problems when the natural tracersare presented inthe reservoir initially, or combination of these two cases,mathematicallyare equivalentto (21). 22).

    System (17) (20) contain the following six dimensionlessparameters: p F, a , l, s21 where a = ((1 F) / I D o

    1 W L. They are independent Thereforethese parameten

    can be determined from the measurements of tracersconcentrations on thecore exi t

    Pescriution of the two mce rs flow

    Structure of two tracers flow zone is shown on theFigure 5. The front of the first tracer propagates through thefissured syste ms with the velocity F/P. The conditions beforeit in zone1 are nitial. Along this front concentrationin blocksis zero, con centration in fissures decreases from unit a t thebeginning of injection to zero at z- . From (33) we obtainthe formulae for crack concen tration variation on the front:

    c; (z)= exp - a z / p (23)

    In zones I and 111 moves mixtures, in zonesN.moves w ater with first tracer concentration injected. The backfront of this zone moves through the blocks system withvelocity (1-F) / 1 - P). Along this front trajectory

    concentration in fissures is equal to the injected one.concentration in mat rix increases fromz ro at the beginn ing ofinjectionto unit at the

    z - . Formulae for variation of con centration on the front.that moves through the blocks system,can be obtained from(36):

    Profiles of the first tracer concentrationsare shown onthe Fig 5 by continuous lines. It is shown that c, drops onthe fissures front and9 rops on the b locks front.

    The velocity of the second tracer front which moves viathe system of fractures is F/P V1, where V1= 1 K sl/(l

    sl). Concentration y2 on this front iszero, concentration yl+before this front is zeroas well. Concentration y ibehind thisfront is

    Concentration of the second tracer on the displacementfront in cracks decreases from unit at the be ginning of injection

    Behind the front which moves over the matrix withvelocity (I-F) / (1 P) V oncentrationsof the secon d tracerin fractures and in block s are equal to unit, concentration incracks before this front yl+ is equal to unitas well.Concentration of the second tracer beforethis front in blocksis

    The second tracer velocity is low comparing with thefirst one because of the dissolving of the second one in the oilphase. Profiles of the second tracer concentratio ns yl, y2 andfronts velocities are shown on the Fig 5 by the dotted lines.

    Determination of the Fractional Flow Function from the Dataof Laboratow Disdacement

    On the Figure 1 is shown the movement of the oil spotin the single block during the displacemen t of oil by solventfrom fractured-porous media. In the laboratory study [l l ]have been done the periodical photographing of the

    displacement picture in one of blocks. Position of the centreof the oil spot canbe distinguished in every m oment

    We have determined above W2= (1 F) W as a velocityof flow in the system of blocks. So the velocity of flow in asingle block is W2 (1 A)/l. The velocity of the centre of theoil spo t can be ex pressed via the velocity of flow through thematrix system

    This formulae allows us to calculate the value of thefraction al flow func tion in case of displacement of fluid s withthe e qual viscosity.

    In laboratory study ll] model of the fractured-porousreservo ir consist of10 blocks along the length (in the k t i o nof displacement) and of 4 block s along the width. Block sizeis 1 = O.lm. Effective permeabili ty of the fractured -porou smedia is 1755 mD. s elf permeability of blocks is 32mD.Dimensionless opening of fracturesis = 0.14. Totalvelocity of flow W i nthe series of experiments was changed inthe interval W= (1.6 2.1)* 10.~ ls.

    Variation of the F value from thethree experiments datawas changed in the interval 0.96 0.99. Such l a m value ofthe fracti&al flow function canbe explainedas a &lt of bigopening of fracturesin the model of artificial fractured-porous-reservoir.

    In order to estimate the 'convective' size of block wediscuss the problem of flow of a liquid with tracer (neutraladmixture) through the porous media with the law perm eableinclusion. Thi s is an internal problem for the theory ofmiscible displacement in fractund-p orous media6) (10).

    We consider thr dimensional flow of incompressible

    liquid in porous media with permeability kl which containprolate ellipsoid of rotation with perm eabilityk2 1121. Theinitial conditions for the tracer concentrationare as follows:presence of tracer inside the inclusion c= 1 and ab sence oftr cer outside the inclusion c= 0.

    The solution of the problem for pressure (Laplaceequation with conditions of constant flow on infinityX +- and w ith conditions of continuity of pressure and of theflux on the inclusion boundary) [12] shows that st m m linesinside the axisymmetric body are straight lines. Streamstraight linesare parallelto the vector of the external flow. So

    the boundary of the 'oil spot' will move inside the inclusionalong the parallel lines. It allows us to determine theconvective size of the block 1 [13].

    The m ass flux of tracer throughth boundary of inclusion is

    and canbe calcula ted from the explicit solution of the problem.Th e same flux from the phenomenological model (6) (10) is

    From conditions of the equality of these fluxes we obtainexpression for the size 1

    Discu ss ellipsoids with the d ifferent ratios of axisX

    With the + o ellipsoid is approachingto the axis offlow, and lw + -. With the + llipsoid is approachingto the circle which is located within the plane perpendicular tothe axis of flow, 1, o. For the spherex = 1 we obtain 1= R

    So the convective size of blqcklw as he same orderas

    a geo metrical block siz e 1.The interesting conclusion from the formulae for the

    convective size of block is that the value of 1 is independent

    on the permeability ratio6 = k c l and on the velocity of flowW.

    The internal problem for the determination of the'diffusive' size of block lD is the pro blem of diffusion into thesphere from the surrounded media without the co nvective flux.Analytical solution of this problem 1141 shows thatth averagetime of diffusion into sphere isR~/D So the 'diffusive' sizeof block lD has the same ord er as the geom etrical one.

    We have determined coefficients fi*,i = 1 ,2 rom theformulae for relative phase permeabilities (2) from therequirement of the agreement between theoretical andexperimental results. For the three magnitudes of the velocityW we obtain fl = 1.92, 2.88, 4.0 and f2= 0.74, 82, 0.90respectively.

    The more is the displacement velocity the less is theaverage time for tracer mass transfer between blocks andfractures, the low is the displacement coefficie nt

Comparing with thementioned above experiments the velocities hereare morehigher, the rest of conditionsare the same [16].
