... Abstract Miscible flooding is considered unsuitable for some reservoirs in southeast Saskatchewan because of high CO, minimum miscibility pressure or operating pressure constraints. Therefore, the effectiveness of near-miscible CO 2 injection was assessedfor Steelmnn reservoir in a laboratory...

... ratios. Pump-off controllers have been installed on many wells to improve rod pump reliability and to minimize the production well down hole pressure. The construction of a commercial scale CO 2 flood will cause a step change in the complexity of the Weyburn production operation. The operator...

... Abstract Weyburn reservoir, Located in southeast Saskatchewan and operated by PanCanadian PetroLeum Ltd., has reached its economic Limit of production by waterflooding. The reservoir is a target for tertiary CO 2 miscible flooding to enhance oil recovery and extend its production Life...

... for CO 2 removal among physical solvents used in the gas processing industry. In order to compare these solubility data with those of other polar solvents, a literature search was done to gather solubility data in solvents with a wide range of dielelectric constants. The solubility data compiled were...

... Abstract This paper describes research and development activities at the University of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada on " Optimization of CO 2 Extraction Process Technologies". The ultimate goal of this research is to develop better and more effective CO 2 separation processes which can he...

... reforestation projects, using biomass to capture and store atmospheric carbon, in less developed tropical nations. Such action does, however, implicitly provide a value for CO 2 . International action in the future could extend the application of these individual projects by providing some form of recognition...

... Abstract The possibility of using high efficiency structured packing in CO 2 absorption processes with a newly proposed solvent, 2-amino-2-methyl-l-propanol (AMP) was investigated. The evaluation of packing performance was performed by CO 2 absorption into sodium hydroxide solutions...

... Abstract A new equation of sate-based technique for predicting minimum miscibility pressures for CO 2 cured old systems has been developed. To verify the technique, a total of 33 slim tube displacement tests were conducted. Reservoir fluids from four different pools were included...

... Abstract In a CO 2 miscible displacement process, asphaltenes from the oil can flocculate in the presence of CO 2 and can cause numerous production problems with a detrimental effect on oil recovery. A five-year multiclient research project was initiated in 1988 to evaluate the suitability...

... The development of tertiary recovery techniques, therefore, is essential to increase the production 1ife of these reservoirs and to maintain current production. Application of the miscible oil displacement process using CO 2 , hydrocarbon and other gases as injection fluids is expected to increase the LMO...
