AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF GRAVITY DRAINAGE DURING IMMISCIBLE GAS INJECTION IN CARBONATE ROCKS UNDER RESERVOIR CONDITIONS

an experimental investigation of gravity drainage during immiscible gas injection in carbonate rocks under reservoir conditions

gravity drainage is one of the important recovery mechanisms in fractured carbonate and conventional reservoirs. it occurs due to density difference between the gas in fracture and the oil in matrix as well as in conventional tilted reservoirs. oil phase will form films which are produced under gravity forces (film flow). many gas injection experiments have been done on laboratory scales with d...

Experimental Study and Modeling of Gravity Drainage during WAG Process in Fractured Carbonate Rocks

The experimental study and modeling of gravity drainage during Water Alternative Gas Injection, WAG process, in carbonate rock for one of the Iranian off-shore reservoir at lab-scale were carried out. The mechanism of gravity drainage during the WAG process, and its contribution to the oil recovery in the fract...

experimental study and modeling of gravity drainage during wag process in fractured carbonate rocks

the experimental study and modeling of gravity drainage during water alternative gas injection, wag process, in carbonate rock for one of the iranian off-shore reservoir at lab-scale were carried out. the mechanism of gravity drainage during the wag process, and its contribution to the oil recovery in the fractured carbonate reservoirs were also studied. in the wag process alternatively gas is ...

consequence analysis of the leakage, ignition and explosion during high pressure sour gas injection process to the oil reservoir

there is no doubt that human being needs to become integrated with industry and industry needs to be progressed, daily. on the other hand, serious events in industrial units specially in oil industries has been shown that such damages and events are industry related ones. the consequence of such events and damages which resulted in chemical and poisoned explosions and loss of life and property ...

Experimental Investigation of Hot Water Injection into Carbonate Heavy Oil Reservoir

An Experimental Investigation of Wettability Alteration in Carbonate Reservoir Using γ-Al2O3 Nanoparticles

Wettability alteration is one of the most important methods for oil recovery from sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. The effects of salinity, pH, temperature, and chemicals such as surfactants and fatty acids on the alteration of the wettability were described in previous studies. In recent years, attention has been directed to nanoparticles as a wettability alteration agent. The effect of som...
