Surfactant Flooding Carbonate Reservoirs

SPE Reservoir Engineering, 1987
Summary Some of the most difficult yet most attractive EOR targets are found in the west Texas carbonate reservoirs, where tertiary recovery is complicated by characteristically very low permeability coupled with high hardness and salinity of the reservoir brine.

Reservoir Geomechanics in Carbonates

SPE Middle East Oil & Gas Show and Conference, 2017
Abstract Development of formations with stress sensitivity is raising awareness that Geomechanics is a vital aspect of future management. Understanding geomechanical behavior is becoming more and more important for the petroleum industry. It has been reported by many authors (e.g.

Application of commercial zwitterionic surfactants and ionic liquids to reduce interfacial tension and alter wettability in a carbonate reservoir

Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization, and Environmental Effects, 2019
Interfacial tension (IFT) reduction and wettability alteration are major mechanisms to chemically enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) in carbonate reservoirs.

APPLICABILITY OF STEAMFLOODING FOR CARBONATE RESERVOIRS

Proceedings of SPE/DOE Enhanced Oil Recovery Symposium, 1980
Abstract Steamflooding can be a technically effective recovery method for carbonate reservoirs within certain parameter ranges. The attractiveness of steamflooding relates to the fact that heat conduction is a powerful mechanism for influencing the oil in the low permeability matrix in a heterogeneous formation, and the ...

Impact of basin architecture on diagenesis and dolomitization in a fault-bounded carbonate platform: outcrop analogue of a pre-salt carbonate reservoir, Red Sea rift, NW Saudi Arabia

Petroleum Geoscience, 2019
The early Miocene Wadi Waqb carbonate in the Midyan Peninsula, NE Red Sea is of great interest not only because of its importance as an archive of one of the few pre-salt synrift carbonate platforms in the world, but also as a major hydrocarbon reservoir.

Integrated Reservoir Characterisation of a Fractured Carbonate Reservoir

Proceedings of SPE International Petroleum Conference and Exhibition in Mexico, 2000
Abstract One of the most important issues for the characterisation of a reservoir and the assessment of the fluid flow behaviour is the role of faults, fractures, and micro-fractures. At different scales these reservoir features have a tremendous impact on the reservoir drainage and in the overall productivity of the field1.

Geology-Based Reservoir Model Building for Carbonate Reservoirs

Volume 6: Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology; Offshore Geotechnics; Petroleum Technology Symposium, 2013
Environment in which carbonate reservoir rocks are deposited was studied by visiting and collecting rock samples from a carbonate reservoir analog located at Jabal Fuwairit in the Northeastern coast of Qatar. The primary objective of this study is to develop methods to characterize carbonate reservoirs.

Evaluation of the Potentials for Adapting the Multistage Hydraulic Fracturing Technology in Tight Carbonate Reservoir

Day 2 Tue, March 19, 2019, 2019
Hydraulic fracturing is considered to be a vital cornerstone in decision making of unconventional reservoirs. With an increasing level of development of unconventional reservoirs, many questions have arisen regarding enhancing production performance of

Carbonate Petroleum Reservoirs

1985
The case history approach has an impressive record of success in a variety of disciplines. Collections of case histories, casebooks, are now widely used in all sorts of specialties other than in their familiar application to law and medicine. The case method had its formal beginning at Harvard in 1871 when Christopher Lagdell developed it as a means of

Robust Reservoir Characterisation of UAE Heterogeneous Carbonate Reservoirs

Middle East Oil Show, 2003
Abstract This study is conducted to test and evaluate the use of current methods of reservoir characterization, namely the permeability-porosity correlation, the J-function, and the Reservoir Quality Index (RQI) concepts, for reservoir description of heterogeneous carbonate formations.
