  Enhanced Oil Recovery through the Application of Nanoparticles with Irvingia Gabonensis in Flooding Process in the Reservoir

  By Stanley Onwukwe, Ugochukwu I. Duru, Angela N. Nwachwukwu, Nnaemeka Uwaezuoke, Daniel O. Ndem, Chuks J. Onyemachi

  Abstract: This experimental investigation is aimed at establishing the ability of nanofluids formula from a mixture of nanoparticles and oil extracted from Irvingia gabonensis (bush mango) in enhancing recovery from oil reservoir. The laboratory study involved the use of core flooding unit, crude oil, brine, nano-particles and Irvingia gabonensis. In this study, nanofluids formulated from nanoparticles of aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) and zinc oxide (ZnO) respectively were used …

  Performance of Water Injection in Oil Rim Reservoir Recovery Factor

  By Stanley Onwukwe, Ugochukwu Duru, Boniface Obah

  Abstract: This study examines the potential improvements in recovery factors in optimizing oil production from oil rim reservoirs through water injection and without water injection (i.e. primary production) scenarios in the development strategies of the oil rim reservoirs. A generic simulation model developed from ECLIPSE dynamic simulator was used as core representative of oil rim reservoirs to experiment production optimization with and without water injection. Reservoir data of permeability, oil rim …
