On inverse problems in secondary oil recovery
In oil production it is crucial to find out properties of the ground from various measurements of geophysical fields. In secondary oil recovery oil is extracted by pumping in water (through injecting wells) and creating pressure which pumps out oil through production wells. Water/oil pressure at wells is monitored providing with an information to determine two important characterictics of mediu...
متن کاملAdaptation 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 کاملCORE FLOOD STUDIES TO EVALUATE EFFICIENCY OF OIL RECOVERY BY LOW SALINITY WATER FLOODING AS A SECONDARY RECOVERY PROCESS
Various researches on laboratory and field scale illustrate that manipulating the ionic composition and the ion concentration of injected water can affect the efficiency of water flooding and the interaction of injected water with rock and other fluids present in porous media. The objectives of this paper are to investigate parameters that affect low salinity water flooding; mainly the effect o...
متن کاملEffect of trapped gas saturation on oil recovery during the application of secondary recovery methods in exploitation of petroleum reservoirs
The paper presents the effect of trapped gas during the application of secondary processes, or more precisely, in the period of application of conventional waterflooding of partially depleted oil reservoirs. These processes can be simulated by analogous tests on reservoir rock samples, on synthetic models under laboratory conditions or by numerical models. An explanation of physical mechanisms ...
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...
