Summary On the basis of wellbore and reservoir heat-transfer process during deepwater drilling, a model between formation is built up for two different conditions: without riser with riser. Wellbore temperature distributions under drilling-fluid-injection temperatures, flow rates, circulating times, drilling depths are simulated by use this model. Taking hydrate-phase equilibrium into consideration, possible region hydrate-formation dissociation analyzed, effective methods proposed to...
Less than 10% of oil is usually recovered from liquid-rich shales and this leaves much room for improvement, while water injection into shale formation virtually impossible because the extremely low permeability matrix. Injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) formations can potentially improve recovery. Furthermore, large surface area in organic-rich could permanently store CO2 without jeopardizing integrity. This work a mechanism study evaluating effectiveness CO2-enhanced recovery sequestration...
Abstract Literature shows that there is a significant amount of natural gas available for enhanced recovery in the depleted reservoirs; at same time, reservoirs are proven storage facility Carbon Dioxide (CO2) terms reservoir integrity. Conceptually, injecting CO2 into will not only potentially rejuvenalize production, but also store greenhouse subsurface formation. Study on phase behavior conditions most likely be super-critical state which exhibits liquid-like density and gas-like...
CO2 flooding is an important method for improving oil recovery reservoirs with low permeability. Even though could be miscible in regions nearby injection wells, the miscibility lost deep because of pressure and dispersion effect. Reducing CO2–oil can enlarge zone, particularly when reservoir less than needed minimum (MMP). Furthermore, adding intermediate hydrocarbons system also lower interfacial tension (IFT). In this study, we used dead crude from H Block X oilfield to study IFT MMP...
Summary The microscopic displacement efficiency of supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2)-based enhanced oil recovery (EOR) depends critically on the phase behavior CO2 and residual oil. Traditionally, we assume that main drive mechanisms EOR are attributed to swelling reduced viscosity, research focuses how interacts with remaining under reservoir conditions. However, our recent study finds once is introduced into reservoir, partitions aqueous phases, reducing interfacial tension (IFT) between...
Abstract Carbonate reservoir with low permeability is developed using fracturing technology to effectively stimulate the for a higher productivity. However, as carbonate features extreme heterogeneity, not every fracture created equally obtainable through acidizing or proppant. The objective of this study help make decision among acid proppant fracturing, achieve an economically and operationally feasible treatment extensive research field cases on critical factors numerical simulation. An...
Abstract Ultra-Tight fractured carbonate reservoirs (UTFCR) are the world's most geologically complex and heterogeneous reservoirs. To develop over-pressured UTFCR, reservoir dynamics boundaries must be characterized using measurements interpretations on various scales. Pressure/rate transient analysis (PTA & RTA) can performed to characterize UTFCR a relatively large scale for field development. The study aims apply dynamic data interpretation boundaries, estimate gas initial in-place...
Summary The significance of setting optimal surface separation pressures cannot be overemphasized in surface-separation design for the purpose maximizing liquid production from wellstream feed. Usually, classical pressure volume-temperature (PVT) analysis reservoir fluids provides one or several separator tests through which optimum are estimated. In case not available, limited numbers adequate to determine pressures, empirical correlations applied estimate pressures. correlations, however,...
Abstract Power plants and other industries in Oklahoma produce a huge amount of CO2 emissions that should be mitigated for environmental benefits. One method to mitigate these is permanent sequestration through mineralization. can mineralized the subsurface if injected into iron- magnesium-rich igneous formations form carbonate minerals. In Southwest Oklahoma, there are several mafic basaltic targeted storage. The objective this study quantify carbon storage mineralization Oklahoma. study,...
