Adaptation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Kansas oil fields for use in tertiary oil recovery
Over half of the oil reservoirs in the United States are considered “empty” although they still contain approximately 50% of their potential yield (Exxon Corporation, 1983). Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces a rhamnolipid biosurfactant extracellularly that can drive this trapped oil from crevices into openings that can be easily pumped. This tertiary method of oil recovery is currently being used...
متن کاملSimulation of Oil Reservoirs Driving Indices and Recovery Mechanisms
Different recovery mechanisms are activated during the production from reservoirs. Wells sometimes are kept with the injection. Therefore the evaluation of injection indices depended on material injection, seems to be necessary. This study is going to determine the drive indices for a reservoir by making a model using Eclipse. The model consists a gas cap and aquifer, in which there is an injec...
متن کاملSeparation of oil and water in oil spill recovery operations *
The separation of water from oil that is collected in any oil spill recovery operation is a continuing and necessary requirement during every stage of the effort. Its importance is reflected in the cost of transport and storage of large volumes of oily water, the salvage value of separated oil and the added labor costs associated with long-term recovery operations. This paper addresses the effe...
متن کاملFluorosurfactants in Enhanced Oil Recovery
Fluorosurfactants are effective in a variety of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques including (i) improving subterranean wetting, (ii) increasing foam stability, and (iii) modifying the surface properties of the reservoir formation. While fluorosurfactants have been used in gas and oil exploration for four decades, the increased demand for petroleum and the greater understanding of the benef...
متن کاملApplication of Nanoparticles for Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery
In this paper, the potentials of using particles, especially nanoparticles, in enhanced oil recovery is investigated. The effect of different nanoparticles on wettability alteration, which is an important method to increase oil recovery from oil-wet reservoirs, is reviewed. The effect of different kinds of particles, namely solid inorganic particles, hydrophilic or hydrophobic nanoparticles, an...
