RESEARCH ON CO2 FLOODING FOR IMPROVED OIL RECOVERY IN WATER FLOODING ABANDONED RESERVOIRS
Authors
Abstract:
CO2 injection is an effective technique for improved oil recovery in light oil reservoirs, especially for water flooding abandoned reservoirs. In this study, the lower part of Es1 reservoirs in Pucheng oilfield was introduced as the target reservoir. By studying the minimum miscible pressure in CO2 flooding, the reservoir could achieve miscible flooding. Long core displacement experiments proved that water alternating CO2 flooding could significantly improve the recovery. For the reservoir characteristics, anti-corrosion technology in the process of injection was researched, and the H-20 inhibitor was screened. A channeling blocking agent in combination with the delayed expansion of gel particles and cross-linked copolymer was used to control the gas fluidity. The Pu 1-1 well groups were optimized to conduct a field trial. The cumulative injected liquid CO2 was 19219.95 ton, 0.248 PV and the cumulative increasing oil was 4520.9 t. The predicted recovery will increase by 8.3%. The successful implementation of the project can provide technical attempt for completion of energy to succeed and energy-saving emission reduction targets.

full textA new investigation on modeling of permeability reduction during CO2 flooding processes in sandstone oil reservoirs
Permeability reduction in oil reservoirs during primary oil recovery and using the enhanced oil recovery methods are complicated problem which most of the oil field in worlds has encountered. In this work, a modified model based on four phase black oil model (oil, water, gas, and asphaltene) was developed to account permeability reduction during CO2 flooding in cylindrical coordinates around a ...
full textUltrasound-assisted CO2 flooding to improve oil recovery.
CO2 flooding process as a common enhanced oil recovery method may suffer from interface instability due to fingering and gravity override, therefore, in this study a method to improve the performance of CO2 flooding through an integrated ultraosund-CO2 flooding process is presented. Ultrasonic waves can deliver energy from a generator to oil and affect its properties such as internal energy and...
full textRobust optimization of water-flooding in oil reservoirs using risk management tools
The theory of risk provides a systematic approach to handling uncertainty with well-defined risk and deviation measures. As the model-based economic optimization of the water-flooding process in oil reservoirs suffers from high levels of uncertainty, the concepts from the theory of risk are highly relevant. In this paper, the main focus is to offer an asymmetric risk management, i.e., to maximi...
full textA Study on the Mechanism of Urea-assisted Steam Flooding in Heavy Oil Reservoirs
The Biqian-10 block, located in Henan Oilfield of Sinopic, contains many thin and interbedded reservoirs, which have been operated by cyclic steam stimulation for 20 years or more. Therefore, it is a challenge to implement the conventional steam flooding. In order to improve the recovery of steam flooding, urea was used to assist steam flooding. Urea can decompose into CO2 and NH3, which are be...
