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

Investigation of wettability by NMR microscopy and spin-lattice relaxation

Description: The wettability of reservoir rock has an important impact on the efficiency of oil recovery processes and the distribution of oil and water within the reservoir. One of the potentially useful tools for wettability measurements is nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and spin-lattice relaxation. More recently using NMR microscopy NIPER has developed the capability of imaging one- and two-phase fluid systems in reservoir rock at resolutions to 25 microns. Effects seen in the images of fluids within t… more

Green River Formation water flood demonstration project. Report for the period October 1992--March 1994

Description: The current project targeted three fluvial deltaic reservoirs in the Uinta Basin, Utah. In primary recovery, the performance of the Monument Butte unit was typical of an undersaturated reservoir whose initial pressure was close to the bubble point pressure. The unit was producing at a rate of 40 stb/day when the water flood was initiated. The unit has been producing at more than 300 stb/day for the past four years. The reservoir characteristics of Monument Butte were established in the geologic… more

System to inject steam and produce oil from the same wellbore through downhole valve switching. Second quarterly report

Description: A market analysis for the Downhole Valves and associated hardware in California has shown that the main effort should be concentrated on the second case studied in the First Quarter Report, namely that of re-entry into a thermal well equipped with a 7 in. casing. An improved design,based on the use of a combination of a sliding sleeve valve with two plugs (all of them operated by wireline) is the most flexible and lowest cost configuration,for entering the largest market in California,that of e… more

System to inject steam and produce oil from the same wellbore through downhole valves switching. Fifth quarterly report

Description: Although EOR by steam injection is used primarily to recover Heavy Oil, the same methods are also applicable to some Light Oil reservoirs. A typical example is that of the Shannon reservoirs in the Teapot Dome field, WY, operated by the DOE, for the US Naval Petroleum Reserve No.3. To show that our technology is also applicable to steam injection in Light Oil reservoirs, a preliminary well design was prepared and submitted to Naval Petroleum Reserve No.3. The Upper and Lower Shannon sandstone r… more

Thin-film forces in pseudoemulsion films

Description: Use of foam for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has shown recent success in steam-flooding field applications. Foam can also provide an effective barrier against gas coning in thin oil zones. Both of these applications stem from the unique mobility-control properties a stable foam possesses when it exists in porous media. Unfortunately, oil has a major destabilizing effect on foam. Therefore, it is important for EOR applications to understand how oil destroys foam. Studies all indicate that stabili… more
