... for two years before initiating a more traditional work program. Companies using this option to develop heavy oil reservoirs in the North Sea, many of which were discovered in the 70's, face a number of uncertainties traditionally associated with heavy oil. These include the determination of density...

... with the viscosity of μ p(1) is mixed with the light oil at a constant ratio of r l , the viscosity of the mixed power fluid can be calculated by: The feasibility of this new technique is discussed first, theoretical models are then developed to determine the equilibrium viscosity of the mixed power fluid...

... Abstract Magnetic ranging refers to the determination of the relative position of one well with respect to another using magnetic measurements. Magnetic ranging is used for several oil field applications including positioning blow-out relief wells, steam- assisted gravity drainage and heavy oil...

... Abstract This paper describes a geomechanical approach to the determination of injection pressures that will result in formation shearing within the Athabasca oil sands. The enhancement of in situ permeabilities, resulting from shearing, is a beneficial phenomenon and often an essential...

... and using as research tool the application of equations of state and methods known for the determination of the equilibrium constants liquid-gas. It is presented two new correlations developed in this work for the calculation of the viscosity of heavy crude oils, which are based on values of molar fractions...

... to determine petrophysical properties of the reservoirs and fluid characteristics. The transversal magnetic relaxation time or T2 has been measured to determine the T2 cut-off and fluids saturations of unconsolidated core plugs samples from Melones field. Also the T2 distribution has been measured in heavy...

... until a equilibrium particle size of the precipitated asphaltene was reached. Asphaltene Particle Size and Shape Determination The precipitated asphaltene particles together with the solvent used were sealed in between the a glass slide and a cover slip for the CSLM measurement. The Carl Zeiss...
