... by capillary forces was the main driving mechanism for the oil recovery process when oil viscosity increased. In Smart Water and low salinity injection processes, in which wettability alteration is a driver for the improved oil production, low rate is important not only for allowing capillary action...

... Abstract Heavy oil fields are characterised by complex chemistries and exhibit a wide range of physical properties (especially oil viscosity). This paper describes the development of two innovative and cost-effective data acquisition methods: the optimised use of mud gas data...

... oil compared to either water-wet or intermediate-wet systems, there is a lack of systematic research to study water flooding of heavy oils in oil-wet reservoirs. This research gives some new insights on the effect of injection velocity and oil viscosity on water flooding of oil-wet reservoirs. Seven...

... on the impact of brine on heavy crude oil viscosity. Four different heavy oil samples were selected from a group of reservoirs and tested in this study. Experiments were conducted using different types of water at different temperatures. Synthetic seawater, formation water, normal brine and distilled water were...

... on the reservoir performance. The investigated operational parameters are the Steam injection rate, injection swapping time and the perforation location. The investigated reservoir parameters are oil viscosity, initial water saturation, porosity and permeability. In addition to investigating these reservoir...

... The base model had an extension of 3 m in y-direction (half fracture distance of 1.5 m). The vertical extension was 150 m. The initial pressure was 276 bar at the crest (similar to the current reservoir pressure). The oil viscosity at initial conditions was 0.85 cP. The oil density was 888 kg/m 3...
