A Discrete Model Of Oil Recovery [PDF]

open access: yes7th International Congress of the Brazilian Geophysical Society, 2001
We propose the simulation of a oil recovery by means of a molecular type approach. By using a finite set of particles under the interaction of a Lennard-Jones type potential we simulate the behavior of a fluid in a porous media, and we show under certain conditions the fingering phenomena appears.

Enhanced Oil Recovery

open access: yesInternational Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2023
Abstract: Enhanced oil recovery procedures, which are part of improved oil recovery, are used to recover the leftover oil include Steam injection, Polymer flooding, Gas injection and Water injection. Only a small percentage of the total hydrocarbons in the reservoir can be recovered using standard oil recovery technologies.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN OIL RECOVERY OIL RECOVERY FROM BITUMINOUS SANDS

open access: yesETM - Equipment, Technologies, Materials, 2022
Bituminous sands are one of the main sources of alternative energy. However, the limited application of this method is associated with environmental and technical problems arising from the extraction of oil from bituminous deposits. In this paper, the authors propose a new environmentally friendly technology based on the application of nanoreagents for

Study on the Compatibility between Combined Control of Channel Plugging and Foam Flooding and Heterogeneous Reservoirs—Taking Bohai Z Oilfield as an Example

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
With the oilfield developed to a later stage and its heterogeneity gradually becoming more serious, the adaptability of conventional profile control technologies for the reservoir becomes worse and worse.

Experimental Investigation of Synthetic and Microbial Surfactants for Enhanced Oil Recovery in Bone Spring Sandstones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Surfactants have been used to increase hydrocarbon recovery to meet the increasing demand for oil and gas. This mechanism of using surfactants reduces the Interfacial Tension (IFT) at the fluid/fluid interface and wettability at the rock/fluid interface ...
