Ultralow interfacial tension in enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
Increasing energy demands require improved methods for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Chemical EOR methods are most promising for maximum oil recovery, but, so far, limited due to high costs of chemicals and environmental concerns. Therefore, there is a huge interest in optimizing procedures for chemical EOR that minimize the amount of chemicals needed and rely on natural compounds, thus decreasi...
متن کاملOptimal Well Placement Improves Heavy Oil Production
Compared to vertical or lowinclination wells, horizontal wells can deliver higher production rates, higher recovery factors, and more efficient use of steam in thermally enhanced recovery projects for heavy oil. However, the shallow, thin, and friable sand reservoirs in Columbia’s Girasol field present several challenges to the accurate placement of horizontal wells. Schlumberger was contracted...

متن کاملExperimental study on electromagnetic-assisted ZnO nanofluid flooding for enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
Recently, nano-EOR has emerged as a new frontier for improved and enhanced oil recovery (IOR & EOR). Despite their benefits, the nanoparticles tend to agglomerate at reservoir conditions which cause their detachment from the oil/water interface, and are consequently retained rather than transported through a porous medium. Dielectric nanoparticles including ZnO have been proposed to be a good r...
