Based on a recently published theoretical model, in this work we experimentally studied the problem of gravity water drainage due to continuous steam injection into an elliptical porous chamber made glass beads and embedded metallic, quasi-2D, massive cold slab. This configuration mimics process condensation for given time period during growth stage steam-assisted (SAGD) process, method used re...

On the basis of flow characteristics and material balance principle, a one-dimensional theoretical model of heavy-oil migration in porous media was established. The model considered micro-compressible property and nonNewtonian behavior of heavy oil. A new method, the transient method, was introduced to calculate the threshold pressure gradient in porous media. The method was designed to measure...

Heavy crude oil can be upgraded to lighter oil using several techniques. However, current methods usually require high temperatures, long reaction duration, and cause serious environmental pollution. This study shows that by using carbon nanocatalysts, heavy crude oil can be efficiently upgraded to lighter oil at a relatively low temperature of about 150 °C. The temperature of crude oil was inc...

chemical flooding, especially alkaline/surfactant/polymer flooding, is of increasing interest due to the world increasing oil demand. this work shows the aspects of using alkaline/surfactant/polymer as an enhanced oil recovery method in the porous media having a high dead-end pore frequency with various dead-end pore parameters (such as opening, depth, aspect ratio, and orientation). using glas...

The conventional oil recovery system in the Fushun oil shale retorting plant has a low oil recovery rate. A large quantity of fresh water is used in the system, thereby consuming a considerable amount of water and energy, as well as polluting the environment. This study aims to develop a closed process of shale oil recovery from the circulating washing water for the Fushun oil shale retorting p...

Our understanding of the processes underlying the formation of heavy oil has been transformed in the last decade. The process was once thought to be driven by oxygen delivered to deep petroleum reservoirs by meteoric water. This paradigm has been replaced by a view that the process is anaerobic and frequently associated with methanogenic hydrocarbon degradation. The thermal history of a reservo...

The amount of oil together with the water Originally in Place (OIP), makes up liquid phase heavy reservoir systems. This present pores system is known as saturation, plays a vital role improving recovery through In-Situ Combustion (ISC) process. acts fuel generating thermal energy required for viscosity reduction and supports formation an enlarged condensation zone that aids higher mobility low...

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...

HEAVY silicone oils have shown promising results in the treatment of retinal detachments in the inferior quadrant in several studies. However, their use remains controversial, attendees at a symposium at the 7th EURETINA Congress heard. Proponents of silicone oil say that the specific gravity of these compounds makes them more efficient than conventional silicone oils in providing inferior tamp...
