Abstract
Abstract This paper shows how to develop the light/medium heavy oil reservoirs and to optimize the production in ND offshore oilfield by using experimental and numerical technologies. The reservoirs in ND oilfield which has large reserves of the light/medium heavy oil (viscosity from 50 to 750 mPa·s) are very complex; faults are well developed and divide the oilfield into many blocks. The current drive mechanism is a water flooding or natural depletion bringing the average pressure down sharply, and reaches its production/economic limit in some of the similar offshore heavy oil reservoirs. The low primary recovery factor and the potentially vast remaining oil in these reservoirs necessitates considering applying improved oil recovery technologies for reservoirs in ND oilfield. Both physical tests and numerical simulations on different kinds of flooding schemes are examined and compared in this paper to enhance the recovery of light/medium heavy oil reservoirs. More specifically, water flooding schemes under different injected water temperatures (50°C, 150°C, 200°C), gas flooding schemes using carbon dioxide/natural gas medium, WAG schemes by carbon dioxide are conducted respectively. Other flooding schemes, such as cyclic steaming, steam flooding and combustion process are not investigated since they are normally unable to perform well in light/medium heavy oil reservoirs. We also present an example of the use of the ND-B1 reservoir as a typical model by simulating the flooding schemes. The results of numerical simulation were derived for comparing with experiments parameters. This paper provides a good reference for other similar reservoirs in China to recover light/medium viscosity heavy oil.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
