Application 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 کاملAn extended model for ultrasonic-based enhanced oil recovery with experimental validation.
This paper suggests a new ultrasonic-based enhanced oil recovery (EOR) model for application in oil field reservoirs. The model is modular and consists of an acoustic module and a heat transfer module, where the heat distribution is updated when the temperature rise exceeds 1 °C. The model also considers the main EOR parameters which includes both the geophysical (i.e., porosity, permeability, ...
متن کاملCharacterization of vesicle for Enhanced Oil Recovery
A systematic study has been performed employing the use of a cationic surfactant didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB), an anionic surfactant sodium lignosulfonate (SLS) and water for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) from the underground porous media of the depleting oil field of Naharkotiya, Duliajan, in the Upper Assam basin, India. The strong electrostatic interaction between the oppositely ch...
متن کاملOil-water de-emulsification using ultrasonic technology.
In this paper an oil-water de-emulsification process within large tanks using ultrasonic technology is presented. As the device would operate in hazardous areas, it should not consume an excessive amount of electrical power. Hence, the paper investigates the suitable oil-water concentrations (10-90% concentrations in step of 10%) which would lead to the fastest separation while consuming the mi...
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...
