For technical and economic success of miscible gas injection projects, an accurate laboratory measurement of Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP) at reservoir conditions is essential. On the other hand, compositional reservoir simulator is a useful tool in gas injection studies and prediction of MMP. The main goal of this paper is to describe a procedure to generate a three phase sequential t...

Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is one option for mitigatining atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide and thereby contributes in actions for stabilization of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Carbon dioxide storage in geological formations has been in practice since early 1970s. Information and experience gained from the injection and/or storage of CO2 from a large number of ...

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 ...

Flow-injection analysis, founded on an approach that is entirely different from continuous-flow analysis, involves use of three principles: sample "injection," controlled dispersion of sample (rather than a dispersion retarded with gas bubbles), and reproducible timing. The conditions governing the dispersion of the sample in the flowing carrier stream are considered, and we illustrate how the ...

The main factor affecting the economics of foam-assisted water alternative gas (FAWAG) process is the loss of foaming agent by adsorption onto reservoir rocks. In this study, the effects of phases, surfactant concentration, salinity, adsorbents, and sacrificial agent on adsorption density were investigated by special adsorption experiments. Moreover, a series of FAWAG tests were performed to ex...

We use a three-dimensional mixed-wet random network model representing Berea sandstone to compute displacement paths and relative permeabilities for water alternating gas (WAG) flooding. First we reproduce cycles of water and gas injection observed in previously published experimental studies. We predict the measured oil, water and gas relative permeabilities accurately. We discuss the hysteres...

The purpose of this research was to study the recognition, application and quantification of the risks associated in managing projects. In this research, the management of risks in an oil and gas project is studied and implemented within a case company in Oman. In this study, at first, the qualitative data related to risks in the project were identified through field visits and extensive interv...
