THERMAL RECOVERY-
SUPPORTING RESEARCH
DEVELOPMENT OF METHODS FOR
CONTROLLING PREMATURE OXYGEN
BREAKTHROUGH DURING FIREFLOODING
Contract No. FG22-89BC14201
Union Carbide Corporation
Tonawanda, N,Y.
Contract Date: June 2,1989
Anticipated Completion: Oct. 1,1990
Government Award: $1,066,772
Principal Investigator:
C. J. Heim
Project Manager:
Thomas B. Reid
Bartlesville Project Office
Reporting Period: Apr. 1-June 30,1990
Objectives
The objectives of the program are to characterize the
reservoir mechanisms that cause premature oxygen
breakthrough and to develop practical tools for controlling
it. The locus will be on those conditions most likely
to he encountered in moderate-depth to deep reservoirs;
candidates include gas override, high-permeability streaks,
and watered-out zones. Mitigation measures will he
selected on a cost-.of-implementation basis and on their
potential application to a wide range of specific problems.
This phase of the program consists o'' efforts to
characterize the problem and develop possible solutions.
Problem characterization focuses on obtaining lirst-hand
information from operators of firelloods through a
questionnaire and interviews. A literature search will be
used to supplement operator information. Bench-scale
screening tests will be performed to identify candidate
mobility control techniques for use in physical and
computer simulation models,
Summary of Technical Progress
The literature study has been completed, and a
bibliography will he included in the final report.
The core sampler described in the last quarterly report
proved to be ineffective in removing the core intact because
sand packed in the tube caused too much friction on the
tube walls, No attempt will be made to redesign the
apparatus,
