Abstract The revolution in nanotechnology has called attention to its many potential applications the oil and gas industry. Nanoparticle-stabilized emulsions foams have been proposed for enhanced recovery application. Understanding transport retention of nanoparticles porous media is critical their This paper presents results a study on adsorption behavior nanosilica particles three different media: sandstone, limestone, dolomite. revealed that equilibrium dolomite were 1.272 mg/g, 5.501 0...
Abstract For miscible displacement under most reservoir conditions, due to the very low viscosity of CO2 phase, poor volumetric sweep efficiency is a critical weakness enhanced oil recovery (EOR). In this paper, dynamic process for generating nanoparticle-stabilized foam presented, which expected reduce mobility during EOR. This paper also describes factors nanoparticle concentration, CO2/brine ratio, and total injection rate effects on generation mobility. Dynamic supercritical was...
Organic compounds are major constituents in produced water that have gained increasing attention due to their negative impacts on operations and the environment. In this study, a novel hydrophilic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber (HF) membrane was formulated fabricated for organics separation (OS) from oilfield-produced water. The PVDF dope solution with lithium chloride (LiCl) polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as synergistic pore agents, obtained HF membranes showed defect-free...
Summary This paper reports the study of effect different ions (monovalent, bivalent, and multiple ions) on nanosilica-stabilized carbon dioxide (CO2) foam generation. CO2 was generated by coinjecting CO2/5,000 ppm nanosilica dispersion (dispersed in concentrations brine) into a sandstone core under 1,500 psi at temperatures. A sapphire observation cell used to determine texture stability. Pressure drop across measured estimate mobility. The results indicated that more as sodium chloride...
Abstract This paper describes a s eries of nanoparticle-stabilized CO2-foam flow experiments performed at reservoir conditions 20°C and 1200 psig. The generation CO2 foam was observed in an online sapphire tube. Pressure drop across the core measured to estimate fluid mobility resistance factor. Results from show that stable generated when nanosilica dispersion flowed through sample. can be with concentration as low 100 ppm. With increase concentration, decreased factor increased. It also...
Abstract To address the disadvangates associated with use of alkali during surfactant flooding, such as reduction polymer viscosity, formation scaling, corrosion hazards, and emulsion formed by produced fluids, this study focuses on formulation surfactants without for either very low salinity (<10,000 ppm TDS) or high (>100,000 flooding. A series laboratory tests were conducted to investigate synergism among anionic, cationic, nonionic zwitterionic EOR purposes based IFT phase...
This paper reports the results of an experiment on synthesis and electrodeposition iridium oxide nanoparticles for fabrication a pH sensor. Iridium with mean diameter in range 1–2 nm were successfully synthesized electrodeposited stainless steel substrate by cyclic voltammetry. It was observed that surface deposited film exhibited porous rough morphology. The electrode thus prepared displayed excellent sensitivity, obtaining super-Nernstian behavior sensitivity value −72.6 mV/pH.
Abstract This paper presents a series of studies the nanoparticle-stabilized CO2-foam for waterflooded residual oil recovery. Nanosilica-stabilized CO2 foam has been observed to improve recovery after waterflooding in sandstone. The effects pressure, temperature, and rock samples on performance were investigated. results indicated that (percent oil) by CO2/nanosilica flooding increased from 64.9% 75.8% when pressure was 1,200 psi 2,500 psi. When temperature 25°C 60°C, decreased 62.6% 52.1%....
