Water alternating gas (WAG) flooding is a widely employed enhanced oil recovery method in various reservoirs worldwide. In this research, we will employ SiO2 nanofluid with the CO2 injection as replacement for conventional WAG process experiments. The suffers from limitations certain industrial applications, such extended cycle times, susceptibility to water condensation and agglomeration, inef...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the biological activities of cultivated Angelica gigas Nakai (CAG) and wild Angelica gigas Nakai (WAG) extracts prepared by extraction with water, 30% ethanol, 60% ethanol, or 90% ethanol. The electron donating ability of the WAG extracts was higher than that of the CAG extracts and 0.1% and 1.0% solutions of the comparative substance, L-ascorbic aci...

Abstract Enhancing oil recovery in reservoirs with light and high gas content relies on optimizing the miscible water alternating (WAG) injection profile. However, this can be costly time-consuming due to computationally demanding compositional simulation models numerous other well control variables. This study introduces WAG eq , a novel approach that expedites convergence of optimization algo...

Production of low-viscosity liquids (including condensates) from tight reservoirs (such as shales) is severely restricted by the ultra low-permeability of such formations, limiting production to a very small fraction (usually less than 5 percent) of the liquids-in-place. In this study, which is part of a wider investigation, we evaluate by means of numerical simulation several possible strategi...

Saline aquifer geological carbon sequestration (SAGCS) is considered most attractive among other options for geological carbon sequestration (GCS) due to its huge sequestration capacity. However, in order to fully exploit its potential, efficient injection strategies need to be investigated for enhancing the storage efficiency and safety along with economic feasibility. In our previous work, we...

To meet the ever-increasing global energy demands, it is more necessary than ever to ensure increments in recovery factors (RF) associated with oil reservoirs. Owing this challenge, enhanced (EOR) techniques are increasingly gaining significance as robust strategies for producing volumes from mature Water alternating gas (WAG) injection an EOR method intended at improving microscopic and macros...

During this study, a comprehensive investigation of low salinity water alternating CO2 injection was performed for enhanced oil recovery in oil-wet carbonate reservoirs. A synergy interfacial mechanisms such as IFT, wettability alteration, solubility, swelling, shielding effect, and rock dissolution considered two three-phase systems. Results showed that the monovalent ions, NaCl or KCl, inhibi...

Fractional flow analysis confirms the advantages of surfactant alternative gas injection (SAG) in enhanced oil recovery, but an adsorption phenomenon that has been affected by several factors, weakens the effectiveness of SAG injection. In this study, the effects of sacrificial agent, gas phase, and surfactant concentration on adsorption density on silica mineral were investigated by static and...
