Self-assembly of resins and asphaltenes facilitates asphaltene dissolution by an organic acid.
Asphaltene precipitation occurs in petroleum fluids under certain unfavorable conditions, but can be controlled by tuning composition. Aromatic solvents in large quantities can prevent precipitation entirely and can dissolve already precipitated asphaltenes. Some polymeric surfactants can dissolve asphaltenes when added at much lower concentrations than required by aromatic solvents. Other disp...
متن کاملOil Reservoirs Classification Using Fuzzy Clustering (RESEARCH NOTE)
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is a well-known method to increase oil production from oil reservoirs. Applying EOR to a new reservoir is a costly and time consuming process. Incorporating available knowledge of oil reservoirs in the EOR process eliminates these costs and saves operational time and work. This work presents a universal method to apply EOR to reservoirs based on the available data by...
متن کاملDissolving efficacy of some organic solvents on gutta-percha.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the solubility of gutta-percha in four organic solvents used in endodontics. The solubility of gutta-percha (Dentsply) was assessed in xylol, orange oil, eucalyptol, chloroform and distilled water. A hundred and fifty samples of gutta-percha were prepared using a standardized stainless steel mould and divided into five groups for immersion in the different ...
متن کاملInteractive cutaways of oil reservoirs
In the Oil and Gas industry, processing and visualizing 3D models is of paramount importance for making exploratory and production decisions. Hydrocarbons reservoirs are entities buried deep in the earth’s crust, and a simplified 3D geological model that mimics this environment is generated to run simulations and help understand geological and physical concepts. For the task of visually inspect...
متن کاملCO2 EOR and Storage in Oil Reservoirs
CO2 EOR and Storage in Oil Reservoirs — CO2 injection into tertiary oil reservoirs has been widely accepted as an effective technique for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and has been used by the oil industry for over 40 years. Concerns over greenhouse gas emissions are leading to the investigation and realisation of its potential as a carbon storage method in recent years. With the right reservoir...
