Current situation and development trend of intelligent water plugging and profile control technology for oil and water wells

Intelligent water shutoff and profile control technology based on cutting-edge technologies, such as big data and artificial intelligence, is expected to realize intelligent closed-loop control of water shutoff and profile control process, so as to greatly improve oil and gas well production and recovery. In recent years, it has become a research hot spot at home and abroad. The development status of key technologies of intelligent water shutoff and profile control at home and abroad is introduced in detail, including intelligent reservoir, intelligent decision-making, intelligent water search, intelligent water shutoff, intelligent construction, intelligent monitoring, intelligent test and intelligent evaluation. It is pointed out that the current intelligent water shutoff technology in China urgently needs top-level design, development planning and technical ideas, carry out research on key basic theories and key technologies, build a cooperation platform between industry, university, research and application, and achieve a breakthrough in intelligent water shutoff and profile control technology.
