Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Process through Miscible Gas Injection: A Case Study of an Iranian Oil Reservoir
Abstract: Speedy computers and development in equations’ numerical solutions have enhanced applying simulation to predict the behavior of oil and gas reservoirs. The pressure in hydrocarbon reservoirs reduces overtime due to utilization of oil and gas resources until the fluid pressure itself is no more able to transfer it to the surface, and even if it reaches to the surface, its production is not cost-effective. Whereas, large amounts of hydrocarbon resources …

Evidence of PDMS-based foam control agent mechanism on crude oil foams
Abstract: Crude oil foam is a frequent problem faced in oil production operations that can cause the reduction of the separator efficiency, separator overflow, carry out of liquid by the gas stream, and other serious problems. Among the techniques used to attenuate foams in crude production, the injection of chemical additives is still considered one of the most efficient. However, the effectiveness of a foam control agent (FCA) is limited to …
