76 The vision must be of an industry that has water management under complete control across all of the producing fields in Kazakhstan. Processes will need to be cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Real-time downhole water monitoring will be important, as will both chemical and physical shut-off technology. Kazakhstan Upstream oil & gas technology and R&D roadmap
3.2 Water management Challenge commentary Water production associated with channelling, cross flow and coning is common in Kazakhstan because the detection and isolation of water sources is not well developed. High water cuts significantly reduce reservoir recovery levels. Further, the reinjection of produced water is not always straightforward and so disposal becomes a problem. Most water monitoring is confined to wellhead sampling (multiphase metering is rarely used) and so water assessments are often inaccurate, leading to the premature abandonment of wells. The improved identification of water source intervals in wells would be of huge benefit. This is a particularly tough challenge as identification is difficult in complex reservoirs where there is water injection, a situation that is not unusual in Kazakhstan. Under these circumstances, accurate identification requires gathering a wide range of data, its thorough analysis and detailed modelling. Water shut-off is another challenge, particularly in high water cut fields producing high viscosity oil – North Buzachi is probably the best example of this. Mechanical solutions do not work well where there are complex completions. Additionally, there needs to be good isolation behind the casing (good cement bond) and definite isolation of the water zone in the reservoir (permeability barriers). The handling, cleaning and disposal (or recycling) of produced water is a third problem, especially in fields producing high viscosity crudes, which are difficult to separate. The onus is on the surface facilities needed to produce water of the quality necessary for industrial, agricultural or domestic use. Corrosion management and environmental protection are ever-present concerns for operators.
