This book was released on 2011 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in heavy oil reservoirs has significantly increased over the past few years due to limiting production of conventional oil. A detailed experimental work was conducted using three heavy oil recovery techniques at University of Regina. The techniques used in these experiments were waterflooding, CO2 flooding and water alternating CO2 flooding. The objective of this 4th year project is to simulate the data collected from these experiments using computer modeling group (CMG) and compare the results with those obtained from the experiments.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Several factors including gravity segregation, solvent types, injection methods, and production/injection well constraints are known to impact the performance of Water-Alternate-Gas (WAG) process and miscible displacement. This thesis studies well completions to optimize the miscible displacement and WAG processes through numerical simulation of a pattern model with stochastic permeability distribution. To study the impact of well placement and completions on miscible performance in heterogeneous media, we injected various solvents and examined the effect of gravity segregation, permeability distribution and anisotropy, horizontal well lengths, orientation of vertical and horizontal wells on oil recovery. Also, we conducted simulations with various WAG ratios and cycle lengths to understand the WAG processes. Performance of miscible gas flooding and WAG process are compared to that of waterflooding"--Leaf iii.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing. house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 25 (thesis year 1980) a total of 10,308 theses titles from 27 Canadian and 214 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 25 reports theses submitted in 1980, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Download or read book Enhanced Oil Recovery Fundamentals and analysis written by Erle C. Donaldson and published by Elsevier Science Limited. This book was released on 1985 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth study of the fundamental aspects of enhanced oil recovery (EOR), this book brings together detailed analyses of proven techniques. It begins with the current theories of the origin of oil and ends with a treatise on waterflooding which is the basis of the majority of EOR processes. Two and three-phase relative permeability relationships are discussed since they form the basis for fluid flow processes in porous media. The advent of EOR has increased the need for a better understanding of three-phase flow because this has become an integral part of carbon dioxide and steam injection, yet is an area of experimental study that has been seriously neglected. The book gives a complete review and theoretical analysis of two- and three-phase fluid flow, plus a basic introduction to single-well pressure transient testing which is essential to the evaluation of volume, intrinsic reservoir pressure, reservoir discontinuities, in situ permeability and many other data required for complete reservoir evaluation. A discussion of oilfield waters is followed closely by the chemical and physical properties of employing various current EOR techniques.

Download or read book Numerical Simulation of Heavy Oil Droplets Mixing in Supercritical Water at Conditions Relevant to Supercritical Water Heavy Oil Upgrading written by Aniket Sanjay Patankar and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supercritical water (SCW) crude oil upgrading is a promising technology for upgrading and desulfurization of heavy crude oil and residues. The outcome of this process is determined by an interplay of hydrocarbon cracking and condensation reactions, multicomponent phase equilibrium, phase separation and coke formation, and macroscale mixing governed by uid dynamics. These individual phenomena span several lengthscales and timescales, and are closely coupled, so that it is extremely difficult to uncover physical phenomena and estimate reaction rates by empirical means alone. Modeling studies of the SCW oil upgrading process are scarce, and pose the challenge of capturing the relevant physical phenomena in a tractable and computable framework. We include a review of SCW-oil upgrading research in the present study, and highlight these modeling challenges. In the present study, we introduce a modeling framework based on a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) scheme developed in-house at the Reacting Gas Dynamics Lab at MIT, and specialized for partially miscible flows with non-ideal thermodynamics. Key features of our CFD scheme include the use of a sharp interface method with geometric advection, and a rigorous treatment of interfacial heat and mass transfer. Preliminary CFD results with a bench-scale reactor geometry are presented to highlight the computational cost of direct numerical simulations (DNS). The novel conditions of SCW oil upgrading result in large Reynolds numbers and very ne droplets at even at low ow velocities. Computational cost can be reduced significantly by developing submodels for estimating mixing rates of oil droplets in SCW. We present high-fidelity, droplet-scale mixing studies under quiescent and convective conditions. Two mixing timescales are quantified for the partially miscible system a droplet saturation timescale and a droplet dissolution timescale. Sherwood number is quantified and droplet deformation and internal circulation within the droplet are examined. Our results suggest that these ow phenomena could lead to significantly altered fractionation and phase separation behavior during convective mixing, as compared to the quiescent case. Equilibrium composition and surface tension vary rapidly with interfacial temperature in the system of interest. We nd that internal circulation within a droplet results in a more homogeneous interfacial temperature distribution. This permits the assumption of a unique equilibrium composition along the interface. However, the strong dependence of surface tension on interfacial temperature could lead to signicant Marangoni forces along the interface.

Download or read book Flow and Transport in Porous Media and Fractured Rock written by Muhammad Sahimi and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-05-09 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this standard reference of the field, theoretical and experimental approaches to flow, hydrodynamic dispersion, and miscible displacements in porous media and fractured rock are considered. Two different approaches are discussed and contrasted with each other. The first approach is based on the classical equations of flow and transport, called 'continuum models'. The second approach is based on modern methods of statistical physics of disordered media; that is, on 'discrete models', which have become increasingly popular over the past 15 years. The book is unique in its scope, since (1) there is currently no book that compares the two approaches, and covers all important aspects of porous media problems; and (2) includes discussion of fractured rocks, which so far has been treated as a separate subject. Portions of the book would be suitable for an advanced undergraduate course. The book will be ideal for graduate courses on the subject, and can be used by chemical, petroleum, civil, environmental engineers, and geologists, as well as physicists, applied physicist and allied scientists that deal with various porous media problems.
