Recovery Factor is an important parameter in determining commercial viability of the oil Reservoirs. Wettability is a major factor that affects oil Recovery. Therefore, changing rock wettability may enhance oil recovery. In this paper, the effect of polysilicon nanoparticles on wettability change of Iranian carbonate reservoir is investigated. To assess this, hydrophilic changes of carbonate ro...

Modeling Chemical EOR Processes: Some Illustrations from Lab to Reservoir Scale — Chemical flooding, SP (Surfactant Polymer) or ASP (Alkali-Surfactant-Polymer), are of increasing interest due to the need to increase oil production. Design of chemical processes is very project specific and requires case by case studies including various steps among which reservoir data analysis, chemical formula...

The spatial distribution of petrophysical properties within the reservoirs is one of the most important factors in reservoir characterization. Flow units are the continuous body over a specific reservoir volume within which the geological and petrophysical properties are the same. Accordingly, an accurate prediction of flow units is a major task to achieve a reliable petrophysical description o...

asphaltene instability is one of the major problems in gas injection projects throughout the world. numerous models have been developed to predict asphaltene precipitation; the scaling equation is an attractive tool because of its simplicity and not involving complex properties of asphaltene. in this work, a new scaling model is presented to account  for asphaltene precipitation due to gas inje...

S urfing on the wings of time, days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months. And, I found myself at a point to write you again—three months after the first issue of The IJOEM. Since then, many things happened: the Journal was welcomed by various healthcare professionals so that its Web site (www.theijoem.com and www. theijoem.org), received more than 60 000 hits almost three weeks after it ...

Virtually all of the published correlations for solution gas-oil ratios for pressures at and below bubblepoint pressures suffer from two major deficiencies. First, calculated values of solution gas-oil ratios do not match the concave up, point of inflection, concave down shapes as pressure declines below the bubblepoint that are evident in experimental data, especially at high initial solution ...

The essential oil from the aerial parts of Iranian and British Thymus vulgaris L. were obtained by hydro distillation and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS). Forty two components were identified in the Iranian Th. vulgaris essential oil that represented 99.06% of the oils. The major components were thymol (60.54%), γTerpinene (9.47%), p-cymene (8...

Executive Summary The objective of Reservoir Monitoring Consortium (RMC) is to develop new methods for dynamic reservoir monitoring. We will carry out a number of focused applied research projects in reservoir monitoring that are directly pertinent to the current and future needs of our industry sponsors. We will develop specific workflows for different types of reservoirs. This will include th...

Recycle-gas injection is a promising recovery process to produce oil and gas. The method uses continues injection of the produced gas at economical rates to keep the reservoirs energy up and using viscous force as the driving force. There are numerous studies done on recycle-gas injection in conventional reservoirs, however, there are some other factors such as location of wells and completion ...
