Ultralow interfacial tension in enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
Increasing energy demands require improved methods for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Chemical EOR methods are most promising for maximum oil recovery, but, so far, limited due to high costs of chemicals and environmental concerns. Therefore, there is a huge interest in optimizing procedures for chemical EOR that minimize the amount of chemicals needed and rely on natural compounds, thus decreasi...
متن کاملSynthesis Techniques for Polymers Applied to Enhanced Oil Recovery
The use of water soluble polymers for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) provides an additional chance to extract between 5 to 30% of total oil in place from drilled and mature reservoirs [1]. A big number of patents, mainly from multinational companies, remark the importance of polymers for EOR [2]. The role of the polymer in the aqueous solution is to increase the viscosity of the displacement solut...
متن کاملPhysicochemical Properties of Microemulsions and their uses in Enhanced Oil Recovery
Use of microemulsion in enhanced oil recovery has become more attractive in recent years because of its high level of extraction efficiency. Experimental investigations have been made on characterization of microemulsions of oil-brinesurfactant/cosurfactant system for its use in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Sodium dodecyl sulfate, propan-1-ol and heptane were selected as surfactant, cosurfactan...
متن کاملExperimental study on electromagnetic-assisted ZnO nanofluid flooding for enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
Recently, nano-EOR has emerged as a new frontier for improved and enhanced oil recovery (IOR & EOR). Despite their benefits, the nanoparticles tend to agglomerate at reservoir conditions which cause their detachment from the oil/water interface, and are consequently retained rather than transported through a porous medium. Dielectric nanoparticles including ZnO have been proposed to be a good r...
متن کاملUsing Vegetation near CO2 Mediated Enhanced Oil Recovery (CO2-EOR) Activities for Monitoring Potential Emissions and Ecological Effects
CO2 mediated enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) may lead to methods of CO2 reduction in the atmosphere through carbon capture and storage (CCS); therefore, monitoring and verification methods are needed to ensure that CO2-EOR and CCS activities are environmentally safe and effective. This study explored vegetation growth rate to determine potential ecological effects of emissions from CO2-EOR acti...
