... Abstract One of the big issues for the development of extra heavy crude oil is transportation from the well head to the refinery or shipping facility. Conventionally, dilution is applied to reduce density and viscosity and diluted heavy oil is transported through pipelines. However, if diluent...

..." nanoparticle can alter the reservoir wettability and reduces interfacial tension resulting in additional recovery of entrapped oil from pores. Nanoparticles derived from transition metal oxides namely NiO, Co3O4 and Fe3O4 adsorbs asphaltenes from heavy oil which reduces the viscosity of heavy oil and enhances...

.... This is no longer true following the success of a polymer flooding pilot in viscous oil in Canada. The Pelican Lake field in Canada, a giant with 6.4 billion barrels of oil in place, contains a 12–14 API oil with a viscosity that varies between 800 and 80,000 cp at reservoir conditions. In spite of this high...

... Revision of the requirements set for quality of fracturing fluids Fracturing fluid must meet several requirements: 1. Low viscosity inside the tubing to reduce friction losses and to mitigate shear degradation of fractur- ing fluid. 2. High viscosity inside the fracture to maintain acceptable fracture...

... in the geosciences studies, the oil viscosity was identified as the main limiting factor to the water injection recovery. Considering the key parameters of the reservoir: medium viscosity, low temperature, high permeability sandstones, polymer injection was positively screened as a potential EOR method for the Dalia...

... Abstract. The Cañadon Perdido field (Argentina) is an old field first produced by depletion and recently by waterflood. The reservoir lies in continental fluviatile deposits. The oil viscosity is about 100 cp. The unfavorable water-oil mobility ratio makes the waterflood efficiency low. Thus...
