Abstract: Water breakthrough becomes common and it is difficult to solve this problem in fractured vuggy carbonate reservoirs, such as the one in Halahatang Oilfield. Based on well data characteristics, we conducted a study on the characteristics and formation mechanisms of water producing to solve the problem. Analysis shows that different water cut shapes represent different mechanisms that are related to characteristics of production intervals. Fluctuant water production includes sets of reservoirs, and water fluctuates in the non-main production layers in the form of pent-up water. Slow-rapid increase in water cuts form in relatively homogeneous producing intervals, because of the increase in output channels and relative permeability after the water coning breaks through. A sudden increase in water cut forms when producing intervals are seriously heterogenous, and the water breaks through via main production channels. According to the characteristics of reservoirs and water producing mechanisms, measures for water control are proposed, which prove to be effective and can be widely applied.
