Determining Triaxial Stress Sensitivity of Oil Reservoir Rocks without Fluid Flooding

Masters Thesis: Oil-Reservoir Flooding Optimization using the Simultaneous Method

Today, oil recovery is often based on reactive control using water flooding. Water is injected to push the oil towards the producing wells until water is being produced, which requires a shutdown of the producing well. This form of production may not yield more than 35% of the oil initially present. A better strategy exists which is based on closed-loop reservoir management (CLRM). CLRM uses a ...

Optimized polymer enhanced foam flooding for ordinary heavy oil reservoir after cross-linked polymer flooding

A successful cross-linked polymer flooding has been implemented in JD reservoir, an ordinary heavy oil reservoir with high permeability zones. For all that, there are still significant volumes of continuous oil remaining in place, which can not be easily extracted due to stronger vertical heterogeneity. Considering selective plugging feature, polymer enhanced foam (PEF) flooding was taken as fo...

Determining Reservoir Potential in the Yaran Oil Field

Sarvak Formation as the oil reservoir with the most hydrocarbon potential in Yaran oil field is of special importance. The present research was conducted to study the reservoir parameters of this Formation. For this purpose, petro-physical crude data was first prepared and using the Geolog6.7 software, a petro physical plot was drawn. Afterward, petro-physical properties of reservoir were done ...

New Tools for Oil and Gas Reservoir Fluid Management

Study of Two Phase Fluid Flow in Water Wet Reservoir Rocks by Using X-Ray In situ Saturation Monitoring

Displacement of oil and water in porous media of reservoir rocks is described by relative                      permeability curves, which are important input data for reservoir performance simulation and drive mechanism studies. Many core studies, such as multiphase relative permeability, capillary pressure and saturation exponent determination, depend on the volume fractions of multiphase flui...
