New measurements to tap potential in the Yakela Condensate Gas Field

Locating in Kuqa of Xinjiang, the Yakela Condensate Gas Field is one of the biggest equipped sandstone condensate gas reservoirs of SINOPEC. During depletion development, water content in a single well increases rapidly, and gas producing capacity decreases quickly. Water control has become difficult, and some wells stop flowing due to water flooding. Due to the limited introduction of new technology, the solution to increase production strongly depends on gas well patching holes, converting zone and water plugging, which show poor effects. Through fine adjustment, fine development of gas field, low pressure process construction, integrated liquid emission experi-ment and other actions to stabilize or increase production, the Yakela Gas Production Plant has reached good effects. A new direction is expanded to efficiently exploit oil and gas capacity of the Yakela Condensate Gas Field, which offsets the progressively decreasing production of old wells and stabilizes gas field production.
