.... Floods were also carried out in unconsolidated cores using combinations of an alkali, surfactant and a polymer. Individual slugs were injected sequentially in some of the experiments, while the three components were mixed and injected as a single slug in other experiments. Oil recoveries in the two cases...

... Abstract Many heavy oil reservoirs in Turkey are not suitable candidates for thermal recovery methods, such as steam injection and in-situ combustion. The immiscible CO 2 or gas displacement process appears to be a very promising enhanced oil recovery technique for these heavy oil reservoirs...

... Abstract For predicting the performance of water injection in naturally fractured reservoirs, scale-up of the recovery data from immersing an oil-saturated core into water is commonly used. Oil recovery from some of the naturally fractured reservoirs of the North Sea has been better than what...

... that could include "wormholes ∼, dilated zones, or possibly cavities. As well, produced oil in the form of an oil continuous foam resembling chocolate mousse, suggests a foamy solution gas drive occurs in-situ. This leads to anomalously high oil productivity and recovery because free gas stays entrained...

The final result of the exhaustive work, which included core floods, geological review, a 3D simulation, facilities and production optimization review and a reservoir depletion plan, was a large scale waterflood on a depleted field. It is expected that the recovery factor...

... Abstract Gas production from Alberta's Leduc-age reservoirs, which originally containedmore than 400 Gm 3 OGIP, has and will continue to be significant.Estimating recoveries from these bottom-water driven pools has been difficult.. Recoverable reserves are dependent upon both the trapped gas...

... Abstract Field results from many heavy oil reservoirs in the Lindbergh and Frog lake fields in northeastern Alberta suggest that primary recovery is mainly governed by the processes of sand production and foamy oil behaviour Sand production leads to the creation of high porosity zones...

... Abstract A novel steam-CO 2 combination flooding process for oil recovery hasbeen investigated systematically using a specially designed experimentalsystem. Numerous experiments have been performed using both non-fractured and fracturedsandstone cores. The experimental results from non...
