Enhanced oil recovery monitoring using P-wave attenuation
Crosswell attenuation tomography is used to image reservoir zones that were flooded by carbon dioxide. The swept zones contain mixtures of oil, water and carbon dioxide. Monitoring the saturation of these fluids is an important part of a enhanced oil recovery process. We estimate the changes in P-wave attenuation caused by the injection process. Laboratory data on flooded cores are analyzed in ...
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...
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 کاملEffect of polysilicon nanoparticles on enhanced oil recovery in Iranian oil reservoir
Recovery Factor is an important parameter in determining commercial viability of the oil Reservoirs. Wettability is a major factor that affects oil Recovery. Therefore, changing rock wettability may enhance oil recovery. In this paper, the effect of polysilicon nanoparticles on wettability change of Iranian carbonate reservoir is investigated. To assess this, hydrophilic changes of carbonate ro...
متن کاملMicrobial Enhanced Oil Recovery Using Biosurfactant Produced by Alcaligenes faecalis
A bacterial strain (designated as Alcaligenes sp. MS-103) isolated from oil sample of the Aghajari oilfield in the south of Iran, was able to produce an effective extracellular lipopolysaccharide biosurfactant (1.2±0.05 g/l) on molasses as a sole carbon source. The highest surface tension reduction to level 20 mN/m was achieved by biosurfactant produced by cells grown on molasses under optimum ...
