The main purpose of this investigation is to study the effect of near miscible CO2 injection in different porous mediums on both lab and field scales. This effect can be traced by the change of two-phase gas-oil relative permeability curves. In this work, the experiments have been performed on three rock types (i.e. sandstone, dolomite, and artificial fractured sandstone) based on an incrementa...

In this research the experimental and theoretical studies on different Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques, i.e. Water Flooding (WF), Gas Injection (GI) and Water Alternating Gas process (WAG) were performed on specimens taken from an Iranian carbonate offshore reservoir at the reservoir condition. The experimental results for each specified techniques were compared with the correspondin...

Reservoir operation involves many critical decisions due to unpredicted circumstances, such as drought or flood. The reservoir water release decision is one of the challenging tasks for the reservoir operator since the decision to deal with many complicated decision variables and multipurpose operation. Typically, the water that flow into the reservoir comes from the upstream river network. The...

Numerical reservoir simulation is an important tool that widely used in the petroleum industry for production forecast and decision-making processes. In a context of integrated system involving reservoir, wells, facilities, quality depends not only on models well productivity/injectivity but also boundary condition future extrapolation which, turn, characteristics. Both systems, are characteriz...

By numerical simulation, a bilateral horizontal well is placed in a crude oil reservoir with bottom water. The upper branch which is located near the top of the reservoir is for producing and the lower branch which is located near the oil water contract is for nitrogen foam injecting. Packers are used to control the alternation between productions and injections. When water cut of the upper bra...

BACKGROUND A time-domain approach to couple the Windkessel effect and wave propagation has been recently introduced. The technique assumes that the measured pressure in the aorta (P) is the sum of a reservoir pressure (Pr), due to the storage of blood, and an excess pressure (Pe), due to the waves. Since the subtraction of Pr from P results in a smaller component of Pe, we hypothesized that usi...

the chemical surfactant flooding can mobilize the trapped oil by lowering the interfacial tension between oil and brine and in some cases altering the reservoir rock wettability. in this work, the effect of surfactants on oil/brine interfacial tension was experimentally investigated. first, the effect of surfactants concentration was surveyed. afterwards, the effect of salinity on surfactant be...

Identification of the determinants of pathogen reservoir potential is central to understand disease emergence. It has been proposed that host lifespan is one such determinant: short-lived hosts will invest less in costly defenses against pathogens, so that they will be more susceptible to infection, more competent as sources of infection and/or will sustain larger vector populations, thus being...

The present study aimed to elucidate relationships between phytoplankton species and stressors using multivariate approaches assess the environmental condition of Burç Reservoir?s surface water metrics from September 2018 August 2019 according implementations Water Framework Directive. Reservoir had a characteristic warm monomictic pattern. Phytoplankton functional groups (E, F, J, LO, LM, MP ,...

Limitations on water resources and the high costs of new hydraulic structure construction intensify the need for an optimum operation of Iranian reservoir systems. For appropriate water distribution and management in a 9-reservoir system on the Kalamarz river, Mianeh basin optimizing mathematical models are applied. Considering the stochastic nature of river discharges and the constant amount o...
