... Abstract A successful two-well propane-injection field test with a vertical injector and horizontal producer was conducted in the Middle Bakken reservoir. The objective was to demonstrate the technical feasibility of propane to enhance oil recovery from Bakken reservoirs currently under primary...

... as the pore size decreases. The cumulative oil and gas recovery in Bakken reservoir will be enhanced if considering the nanopore confinement. This work provides an improved understanding of the confinement effect on the fluid phase equilibrium and production performance in shale oil reservoirs. Introduction...

... with the EOR fluids is their effectiveness, because injected fluids have to travel long distances through man-made fractures, natural fractures or induced fractures to reach the very low-permeability matrix pores to expel oil from the matrix. Finally, the oil-wet nature of the Bakken reservoirs should reduce...
