... reformation. This research studies the effect of injecting thermodynamic inhibitors during steam injection on overcoming the problem of hydrate reformation which in turn will increase hydrocarbon recovery significantly from hydrate reservoirs. The reservoir model was built based on data collected from...

... life and an incremental recovery of c. 2 – 3%. For gas wells producing water, this is suggested as a robust workflow to closely predict end of well life conditions and timing and hence, support better management of the reservoir and operating conditions during those periods. artificial lift...

... Abstract Aquifer strength has a significant impact on recovery largely due to subsurface uncertainty in the aquifer connectivity and aquifer size. A wide range in recovery has been documented in the literature and has been similarly observed in gas reservoirs in the Columbus Basin (Trinidad...

... mobilize the entrapped oil. However, the surfactants that are injected into a reservoir to lower the IFT several orders of magnitude may not be cost effective. A cost effective alternative for surfactant flooding is microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). In the MEOR process, nutrients and natural bacteria...

... of various injection well placements on the efficiency of Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) and sequestration, using reservoir simulation, in an attempt to optimize EGR coupled with CO 2 sequestration. The compositional simulator CMG-GEM was used to build a reservoir model with a simple 3D geometric shape...

... Abstract Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) has been used commercially to recover oil from reservoirs by enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies for over 40 years. Currently, CO 2 flooding is the second most applied EOR processes in the world behind steamflooding. Water alternating gas (WAG) injection...

... Abstract A combination of geologic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) sequestration and CO 2 enhanced oil recovery (CO 2 EOR) can address the two of Trinidad and Tobago's energy sector challenges: falling oil production and increasing CO 2 emissions. Geologic storage of CO 2 in heavy oil reservoirs can...

... the productivity impairment associated with conventionally gravel packed wells. Most of Trinidad’s onshore crude oil production is considered to be mature in that the oil reserves are still being produced by primary means with tertiary recovery methods accounting for roughly one third of total production...

... Abstract With increasing energy demand, the oil and gas industry requires new technological developments in the field of unconventional resources along with sustainable development. In this paper we put forward the concept of Bacterial Mat for optimised recovery from marine gas hydrates. Along...

... by a marriage of maximum hydrocarbon recovery with fantastic economic indicators. Is it any wonder we invest heavily into tools and processes to achieve just this! This paper will explore the use of structural and reservoir modeling tools and techniques to re-design an optimal depletion strategy for an oil...

... Abstract Improved oil recovery (IOR) has been attracting renewed interest amongst many operators in Trinidad in recent times. High oil prices and government incentives have increased number of studies and pilot projects in secondary and tertiary recovery processes. Whilst IOR selection...

... Abstract This is an experimental study aimed at improving the recovery of spent acid in carbonate gas reservoirs. When acidizing, the spent acid penetrates deeper into the formation beyond the stimulated zone. The spent acid needs to be removed in order to restore the permeability to gas...
