Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery Designed for a Local Sudanese Oil Field
Abstract: Chemical enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) is a method for increasing recoverable oil from reservoirs. For the past decade, several successful chemical injection projects have been carried out around the world. The SSA main oil field is a suitable candidate for CEOR methods, according to previous studies in a screening of EOR methods for Sudanese oil fields; the field is good OOIIP 161.18 MMSTB, with only 23 percent produced. The general …

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