Pore structure and wetting alteration combine to produce the low salinity effect on oil production

چکیده
Low salinity water flooding is a promising enhanced oil recovery technique that has been observed, in experiments over range of scales, to increase production by up 14% some systems. However, there still no way reliably predicting which systems will respond favourably the technique. This shortcoming partly because relative lack pore scale observations low flooding. led poor understanding how mechanisms on micrometres lead changes fluid distribution centimetres reservoir scales. In this work, we use X-ray micro-CT scanning image unsteady state tertiary Berea, Castlegate, and Bunter sandstone micro-cores. We observe saturations characterise wetting samples using imagery fluid–solid fractional occupancy analysis.

Saline soils occupy about 7% of the earth land surface, an extent portion of such soil are not arable due to very high level of salinity. The objectives of this study were to obtain information about the effect of salt content of irrigated water on growth, anatomical changes and alkaloid production in pomegranate trees. The result reported that, salinity of the irrigated water, with 800, 1200, ...
