Steam distillation effect and oil quality change during steam injection

Description: Steam distillation is an important mechanism which reduces residual oil saturation during steam injection. It may be the main recovery mechanism in steamflooding of light oil reservoirs. As light components are distilled the residual (initial) oil, the residuum becomes heavier. Mixing the distilled components with the initial oil results in a lighter produced oil. A general method has been developed to compute steam distillation yield and to quantify oil quality changes during steam injection. … more

Comparison of biochemical microbial effects in enhanced oil recovery (MEOR)

Description: Experimental data dealing with the interactions between certain microbial species and crude oils indicates that these interactions are selective and occur via biochemical pathways which can be characterized by the chemical composition of the initial crude oil and that of the end products. In the studies discussed in this paper, the microbial species used were thermophilic and/or thermoadapted microorganisms which thrive in harsh environments (e.g., pH, temperature, pressure, salinity). Crude oi… more

New microorganisms and processes for MEOR. Quarterly report ending, December 31, 1992

Description: We have been successful in isolating and characterizing sulfate reducing bacteria and denitrifying Thiobacillus sp. from oil field waters which can use volatile fatty acids and dissolve carbonates found in these waters and formations. We have shown that these cultures can feed each other in sequential cultures and survive in mixed culture as long as sterile conditions are maintained. When nonsterile conditions are present both organism types are only successful to a limited degree, and, instead… more

A study of the effects of enhanced oil recovery agents on the quality of Strategic Petroleum Reserves crude oil. Final technical report

Description: The project was initiated on September 1, 1990. The objective of the project was to carry out a literature search to estimate the types and extents of long time interactions of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) agents, such as surfactants, caustics and polymers, with crude oil. This information is necessary to make recommendations about mixing EOR crude oil with crude oils from primary and secondary recovery processes in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). Data were sought on both adverse and bene… more

Microbial enhanced oil recovery research. Annex 5, Summary annual report, 1991--1992

Description: The surface active lipopeptide produced by Bacillus licheniformis JF-2 was isolated to near apparent homogeneity. NMR experiments revealed that this compound consists of a heptapeptide with an amino acid sequence similar to surfactin and a heterogeneous fatty acid consisting of the normal-, anteiso-, and iso- branched isomers. The surface activity of the B. licheniformis JF-2 surfactant was shown to depend on the presence of fermentation products and is strongly affected by the pH. Under condit… more
