... Abstract We evaluate the potential for CO 2 leakage along pre-existing wells and through the formation caprock as well as the probability of inducing slip on faults during CO 2 injection and storage in a saline formation in the Southern San Joaquin Basin. Our model considers 0.6 Mt CO 2 /y...

... Abstract Produced water is commonly co-produced with oil and gas production and requires safe disposal in subsurface reservoirs. Knowing the amount of produced water that can be safely injected into the reservoir is important for disposal operations. While the methods of reservoir hydrocarbon...

... cumulative oil production and minimize cumulative polymer injection. The proposed optimization strategy follows a sequential step: well rate optimization followed by polymer concentration optimization. In the first stage, streamline-based method is used to adjust the water injection rate and liquid...

... Abstract Oil production enhancement from mature fields through polymer injection has gained elevated interest due to the improved mobility and conformance controls. The suitability of polymer with harsh reservoir condition and its insitu performance dictate the success of polymer-augmented...

SAGD 1 SAGD 1 is one of the five largest SAGD operations in Canada and has been in production since 2007 and is considered a high-performing SAGD project, comprising 29 pads and 229 well pairs. Non-condensable gas co-injection has been part...

... Abstract Replacement of voidage relates to the method of injecting liquids to replace oil, water and gas inside the reservoir. The technique for voidage replacement is the volume of injected fluids in the barrel over the volume they got produced. Injected liquids may be wasted outside...

... Bstb in the C Sands and 5.0 Bstb in the A Sands. Production commenced in December 1981 and has cumulated to date more than 2.5 Bstb oil through water-flooding, immiscible water-alternating gas (IWAG) and miscible water-alternating-gas (MWAG) injection. Currently, the field produces about 60,000 stb/d...

... at temperatures above 200°F. The main advantages of the evaluated alternative acid include better wormhole efficiency at lower injection rates and less corrosiveness to protect tubulars and surface equipment. In a high-temperature environment, the performance of alternative acids needs to be evaluated...

... Abstract Laboratory experiments have demonstrated that injecting urea solution as a CO 2 -generating agent into an oil reservoir may significantly enhance oil recovery. When the reservoir temperature is above 50 °C , urea is hydrolyzed to carbon dioxide and ammonia. This technology overcomes...

.... This value of residual oil recovery was significantly higher than other scenarios tested in this study (i.e. GS- water and gas co-injection, conventional foam without GS, GS-foam stabilized with surfactant only and GS-waterflood). The increased production occurred because NGS-foam remained stable...

.... Then, it is followed by the oil and gas applications of the DTS including hydraulic fracturing (during and after fracturing), well treatment/stimulation (acid injection, fluid distribution, diversion monitoring), inorganic (scaling) and organic (wax/asphaltene/hydrate) deposition detection, leak detection (in well...
