Fitting Relative Permeability’s Curves Based on Laboratory Production Data for A Thermal Composite Core Flooding Experiment
Abstract: Numerical simulators are effective tools for an adequate understanding of models geological and dynamic properties under which enhanced oil recovery techniques are investigated. Core flooding experiments are usually conducted for calibrating simulated rock and fluid properties against actual test results at micro-scales, and for further scaling up processes to the reservoir scale. In this paper, laboratory experiments data were used as input for a numerical simulator to study the effect …

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

Mud Acid Effect on Fines Migration Problem Using a Newly Developed Al/Zr-Based Clay Stabilizer (A): Mitigation Can Happen
Abstract: Sandstone reservoirs exhibit severe fines migration problems subsequent to conventional mud acid (HCl: HF) treatments. The acid treatment proved to be effective for a relatively short period of time, with a sudden production decline owing to either that mud acid spent rapidly in close proximity to the wellbore, causing clays to migrate into the acidized area and re-plug the formation; or that the mud acid system actually weakens the structure …

Experimental Study on the Impact of Polymer (PAM) in Enhancing Oil Recovery in Upper Assam Basin Oil fields
Abstract: The Upper Assam Basin, one of India’s most mature and extensively exploited hydrocarbon provinces, is experiencing declining oil production due to reservoir depletion and unfavorable crude oil–brine–rock (COBR) interactions. In this context, alkali–polymer (AP) flooding has emerged as a promising chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) strategy. AP flooding reduces interfacial tension (IFT) through in-situ surfactant generation by alkali and improves sweep efficiency via polymer-based mobility control, typically using polyacrylamide (PAM). …

Relating IFT with Oil Recovery with Special Reference to Bhogpara Porous Media of Upper Assam Basin
Abstract: The present study examines the effect of surfactant flooding through the porous media of Bhogpara core sample for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The work will try to examine the interfacial tension (IFT) of the aqueous phase in which a surfactant is added and the oleic phase, which is the paraffin oil. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) was noted at the minimum IFT. The highlight of this work is that with …
