Download or read book Heavy Crude Oil Recovery written by E. Okandan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the last 10 years the world has come to a point where the easily explorable oil deposits have now been found, and it is anticipated that such deposits will be depleted by the beginning of the Twenty-first Century. However, the increasing demand of man kind for energy has caused technologists to look into ways of find ing new sources or to reevaluat:e unconventional sources which, in the past, have not been economical. In this respect, heavy crude and tar sand oils are becoming important in fulfilling the world's energy requirements. What are heavy crude and tar sand oils? There is still some confusion as to their definitions, inasmuch as they vary among organizations and countries. In an effort to set agreed meanings, UNITAR, in a meeting in February 1982 in Venezuela, proposed the following definitions (see also Table 1): 1. Heavy crude oil and tar sand oil are petroleum or petroleum like liquids or semi-solids naturally occurring in porous media. The porous media are sands, sandstone, and carbonate rocks. 2. These oils will be characterized by viscosity and density. Viscosity will be used to define heavy crude oil and tar sand oil, and density (oAPI) will be used when viscosity measurements are not available. 3. Heavy crude oil has a gas-free viscosity of 100-10000 mPa.s (cp) 3 o at reservoir temperatures, or a density of 943 kg/m (20 API) 3 o o to 1000 kg/m (10 API) at 15.6 C and at atmospheric oressure.

Download or read book Determination of Minimum Miscibility Pressure for a Light Oil CO2 System written by Tyson M. Affleck and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miscible carbon dioxide flooding is an effective EOR technique for the displacement of reservoir oil after primary and secondary oil recovery methods have been exhausted. Miscibility is achieved either through a first-contact or multi-contact process. The dynamic multi-contact process involves exchange of components between oil and solvent gas through vaporizing and/or condensing drives ultimately resulting in lower interfacial tension and oil viscosity thereby improving oil displacement. By definition the minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is the pressure at which miscibility is achieved; operating below MMP will drastically reduce hydrocarbon recovery while operating above MMP will add additional costs to the project with little or no additional recover. The main focus of this study is to design and implement a Rising Bubble Apparatus (RBA) for system MMP identification. The various scenarios to be tested include dead Oil C-pure CO2, live Oil C-impure CO2, and dead Oil C-impure CO2. Vanishing interfacial tension (VIT) results are also analyzed and compared to RBA results; recommendation can then be made to identify the most consistent and accurate method of MMP estimation. When applying the VIT method, the MMP's for the three cases were determined to be 10.7 MPa for the dead Oil C-pure CO2 system, 12.3 MPa for the live Oil C-impure CO2 system, and 21.2 MPa for the dead Oil C-impure CO2 system. When applying the RBA method, the MMP's were determined to be 12.0 MPa for the dead Oil C-pure CO2, 12.5 MPa for the live Oil C-impure CO2 system, and 25.0 MPa for the dead Oil C-impure CO2 system. The two methods yield similar results, however values of MMP from RBA experiments tend to be slightly higher.

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 CO2 Storage Coupled with Enhanced Oil Recovery written by Kun Sang Lee and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and detailed description of the various mechanisms of the CCS–EOR process. Whereas previous texts have primarily focused on carbon capture and storage (CCS) and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) separately, this book provides a general overview of both technologies when used together. Coupled CCS–EOR technology has become increasingly important, as it overcomes the respective shortcomings of the two technologies. The book presents an integrated numerical model including the hysteresis effect, solubility trapping, miscibility, and formation damage by asphaltene deposition. The experimental and model-based evaluation of fluid properties is also discussed. The book concludes by discussing the latest research into CO2 storage coupled with EOR, most notably performance control by including additives in CO2 injection, and CO2 injection into shale reservoirs. Ideally suited for graduate students and researchers in the fields of carbon capture, utilisation, and storage, the book shares essential insights into maximising the efficiency of CCS and EOR alike.

Download or read book CO2 Miscible Flooding for Enhanced Oil Recovery written by Abdelaziz Nasr El-hoshoudy and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon capture aims to mitigate the emission of CO2 by capturing it at the point of combustion then storing it in geological reservoirs or applied through enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in a technology known as miscible flooding, so reduce CO2 atmospheric emissions. Miscible CO2-EOR employs supercritical CO2 to displace oil from a depleted oil reservoir. CO2 improve oil recovery by dissolving in, swelling, and reducing the oil viscosity. Hydrocarbon gases (natural gas and flue gas) used for miscible oil displacement in some large reservoirs. These displacements may simply amount to "pressure maintenance" in the reservoir. In such flooding techniques, the minimum miscibility pressure determined through multiple contact experiments and swelling test to determine the optimum injection conditions.
