Due to the continuous depletion of crude oils in reserves, and rise energy demand, there is currently a widespread interest various methods chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Surfactants flooding improves by combining mechanisms this approach has proven be effective. Surfactant still threatened problems which are unstable under excessive adsorption harsh reservoir conditions. Research shown that anionic surfactant most preferred for EOR specifically with sandstone reservoirs. In some...
Abstract Numerous laboratory studies have shown that water composition can substantially affect oil recovery by waterflooding. Investigation of increased injection low salinity such as coalbed methane production has been extended to reservoir cores from the Tensleep, Minnelusa and Phosphoria formations in Wyoming. The Tensleep are eolean sandstones comparable depositional environment contain interstitial anhydrite, dolomite occasional calcite cements. pin-point coarse vuggy pores lined...
Nanofluids in recent years have shown great potential as a chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology, thanks to their excellent performance altering interfacial properties. However, because of the challenge preparing stable systems suitable for an elevated temperature and high salinity environment, expanding application nanofluids has been greatly restrained. In this work, novel nanofluid was prepared by integrating positively charged amino-terminated silica nanoparticles (SiNP-NH2)...
Tight oil and gas are becoming increasingly important energy sources in North America. Spontaneous imbibition is an mechanism recovery from tight reservoirs. In this study, countercurrent spontaneous experiments nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were combined to study the fluid distribution eight core samples. NMR able detect different sizes of pores ranging micropores fractures. Before experiments, Middle Bakken Berea cores saturated with air. Then one end open (OEO) two ends closed (TEC)...
Novel SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) costabilized by a low-molecular-weight ligand (steric stabilization) and zwitterionic surfactant (electrostatic were developed for enhanced oil recovery purpose in sandstone reservoirs with high salinity elevated temperatures. According to our experiments, the proposed NPs not sensitive either monovalent or divalent cations, whose size remained around 10.0 nm API brine within 8 weeks at 25 °C 4 60 °C. Using reduced NP dosage required induce wettability...
Abstract Development and production of coalbed methane involves the large volumes water. The salinities sodium adsorption ratios (CBM) water from Powder River Basin range 370 to 1,940 ppm 5.6 69 respectively. Surface discharge CBM can create serious environmental problems; subsurface injection is generally viewed as economically nonviable. It has been shown that oil recovery reservoir sandstones be improved by low salinity waterflooding for ranging up 5,000 ppm. There may both technical...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) injection is a successful enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology that being widely applied in North American fields. Studies have suggested CO2-based EOR technically possible the Middle Bakken Formation of Williston Basin Dakota. The swelling crude oil/CO2 mixture plays crucial role CO2 flooding process. Therefore, better understanding effect on and viscosity reduction critical for project unconventional reservoirs such as Formation. In this work, series n-alkane/CO2...
Nonionic surfactants are nonvolatile and benign chemicals widely used in the oil gas industry. However, their huge loss especially under high temperature salinity conditions has limited large-scale applications; thus, various additives were introduced to prepare compounded systems. This paper mainly focuses on nonionic surfactant–silica nanoparticle augmented Herein, an extensive series of adsorption tests related surfactant nanoparticles behavior change with presence was conducted, together...
Nanoparticles (NPs) have been applied in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) successfully over the last couple of decades, due to their unique property inherited by small size (most studies focused on sizes smaller than 50 nm) and abundant surface functional groups. The important mechanism EOR using a NP-based nanofluid is change interfacial properties. However, effect nanoparticle same type has not systematically studied, especially larger size. Therefore, this research, SiO2 NPs different sizes,...
Abstract Well production rates in unconventional plays usually decline dramatically the first year. Refracturing, which is a remedial operation, often done because original hydraulic fracturing failed to contribute any significant amount of flow or unfractured pay exists well. In order maximize fluid contact with intact rock and stimulate more reservoir volume previously stimulated wells, refracturing technology featuring novel temporary plugging for diversion developed enable reach...
In recent years, nanotechnology has become increasingly important in the upstream sector of oil and gas industry, terms both perspectives practical applications. Nanoparticles, with their exceptional properties (chemical, electrical, structural, mechanical) are proving to be useful for freeing trapped oil. Specifically, silica-based nanoparticles (SiO2-based NPs) making a positive impact on various aspects petroleum extraction, such as rheological stabilization characteristics drilling...
