Abstract: Regarding the problems on flow field distribution with different injection-production schemes (single injection and single production of vertical well and horizontal well, single injection and single production of horizontal well, and dual injection and single production of horizontal well), the study on mathematical calculation models of flow field and physical simulation with different injection-production schemes is carried out. Both conformal transformation and the mirror image reflection theory are applied to establish the mathematical model of the flow field for different injection-production schemes and deduce the mathematical expressions for the potential function and stream function. Thus, the inner equipotential lines and streamline distribution diagrams of different injection-production schemes are obtained. The computational results of the calculation model of the flow field for different injection-production schemes are compared and verified through a physical simulation experiment of water-oil displacement with different injection-production schemes. The results show that the calculation results of the calculation model for flow fields in different injection-production schemes are basically consistent with the physical simulation experiment results. The inner flow field for the single injection and single production of vertical and horizontal wells shows a certain linear flow, and both the water-driving wave and area are increased compared to the conventional injection-production schemes of vertical well. The inner injection-production cross-well streamline of single injection and single production in horizontal wells presents a linear flow. The area controlled by the streamline is larger; the displacement effect is better in comparison with single injection and single production of vertical and horizontal wells. The streamline near the heel end and toe end of the inner horizontal production well in dual injection and single production of a horizontal well is relatively dense; that near the mid position of the horizontal production well is relatively sparse, being easy to form a lag oil zone.
