Seven injection/production cycles were applied to a re-saturated standard core plug with oil production observed and measured in the effluent. Cyclic injection continued until no further oil could...

... Abstract One of the key uncertainties associated with miscible water-alternating-gas (WAG) projects is the well injectivity. The underestimation of productivity indexes of the injectors always results in the loss of additional oil production. This paper describes the current solutions...

... are injected. Lab results show that nanoparticles can lower the interfacial tension between the water and oil and alter the rock wettability to a preferential water-wet state, which is beneficial for oil production. The simulation studies show that CO 2 injection alone results in smaller improved oil recovery...

PTA showed a 400% increase in gaseous CO2 injectivity compared to the CO rates. Oil production increased 10-fold...

... Abstract Changqing Oilfield is the largest petroleum-producing field in China and one-third of its oil production is attributed to the formations with permeability lower than 1 mD. The rapid oil rate decline and low recovery factor (RF) associated with those formations require additional IOR...
