    Numerical study of the impact of surfactant/polymer flooding on different reservoir wetting phases.

    By WILBERFORCE nkrumah AGGREY, GLORIA GYANFI, kofi ohemeng prempeh

    Abstract: Production of oil and gas by primary drive mechanism has always remained unsatisfactory since a greater percentage of the oil remains in the reservoir. Across the industry and academia various enhanced oil recovery interventions are been sought after to help recover more and more hydrocarbons from the reservoir. A simulation study is conducted using the UTCHEM simulator to help understand the mechanism that affect the various wetting characteristics of the …

    Thermodynamic modelling of the effects of high temperatures on brine fluid density

    By WILBERFORCE nkrumah AGGREY, kofi ohemeng prempeh, ANTHONY MORGAN, PROSPER ANUMAH

    Abstract: Current trends in oil discoveries points to deep water zones characterized by temperatures ranging from 150oC to 350oC which needs good prediction of the fracture pressure and pore pressure hence imperative to continually understand temperature-density relationships of the fluids which are pumped downhole for well control. This paper seeks to propose a new, cost effective and easier method of estimating the reduction in density of brine completion fluid as it …
