... influence on the interpretation results. The parameters all have a significant impact on the STQF including the wellbore storage coefficient, permeability, skin factor, reservoir thickness, oil viscosity, and the wellbore storage coefficient is what affects the STQF the most. In order to reduce the number...

... an interesting result. Steam flooding was tested on heavy oil fields and the heavy oil recovery increased by reducing oil viscosity. Although the steam showed an improvement in heavy oil recovery, the density difference between steam and heavy oil raised a problems with steam gravity override, channeling...

... Abstract Hybrid carbonated low salinity waterflood (CLSWF) introduces synergetic effects of oil viscosity reduction and wettability modification. The technology injecting CO 2 -saturated low salinity water is a hybrid design of low salinity waterflood (LSWF) and carbonated waterflood (CWF...

... the travelling distance to surface for the oil, the bigger temperature drop, the greater the oil viscosity, and the more severe production challenges. This paper presents the challenges associated with the production of ultra heavy oil in deep reservoirs in China. Operational difficulties widely exist...

... Abstract The successful production of heavy oil (typically defined as oil with an API gravity of less than 20) depends on several reservoir properties such as porosity, permeability and reservoir pressure, but it is the in-situ oil viscosity that dictates the oil mobility and production...

... to evaluate the performance of several injection scenarios involving low salinity water and polymer under the conditions of a heavy oil reservoir at the depth of 3,000 ft with oil viscosity of 80 centipoise (20° API). The thickness of the reservoir is less than 100 ft. The simulated results showed that low...

... Silicon oxide gave the highest recovery in all the conducted experiments while hydrophobic Silicon oxide in ethanol also yielded good results. Aluminium oxide reduces oil viscosity while Silicon oxide changes rock wettability in addition to reduction of interfacial tension between oil and water caused...
