C oilfield is located in Bohai Bay Basin, a typical strong bottom water reservoir. There is a large amount of remaining oil in the plane and vertical direction, which cannot be used. Therefore, it is urgent to explore the feasibility of changing the development mode of typical sand bodies and displacement mining. In this study, the residual distribution of the bottom water reservoir is studied through numerical simulation. According to the distribution of remaining oil in the middle of the two sand bodies and the local structure of the sand body, it is divided into top remaining oil, edge remaining oil, and inter well-remaining oil. The effects of different angular permeability laws and differential and injected medium on the development effect are simulated and analyzed. It is found that the effect of gas injection is affected by a high mobility ratio, which is easy to break through early, and the effect of gas channeling is limited. Using active water and air-water alternate (ammonia foam) can achieve relatively good results. This experimental study guides tapping the remaining oil potential in the offshore strong bottom water reservoir.
