according to the global fuel crisis, it seems necessary to use alternative fuel instead of gasoline. since the natural gas is cheaper, have higher frequency than gasoline and less pollution, it is a suitable fuel. many efforts have been done in order to replace gasoline with natural gas. one of the methods is to inject natural gas and gasoline fuel simultaneously and to use the benefits of both...

Condensate banking around wellbores can significantly shorten the production from gas-condensate reservoirs. Several approaches to mitigate this issue have been proposed in literature, among which gas injection comes out with promising results. This method’s efficiency has largely investigated at core and field scales, but underlying flow phenomena taking place pore-scale are still poorly under...

CO2 miscible displacement is not feasible in many oil fields due to high reservoir temperature as higher pressure is required to achieve miscibility. The miscibility pressure is far higher than the formation fracture pressure making it impossible to have CO2 miscible displacement. However, by using oleophilic chemicals, minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) could be lowered. The main objective of ...

Carbon dioxide flooding is a strategic replacement technology for greatly enhancing oil recovery in low-permeability oilfields, which includes social benefits resulting from carbon emission reduction and economic owing to the improvement of recovery. Therefore, it great significance develop apply CO2 storage petroleum industry. In reservoir conditions, usually under supercritical state, present...

Supercritical ${\rm CO}_2$ injection and dissolution into deep brine aquifers allow its sequestration within geological formations. After injection, CO}_{2}$ gas phase is buoyancy-driven over the denser aqueous brine, reaching an apparent gravitational stable distribution. However, in propels convection since mixture even than underlying brine. This process still needs to be characterised compr...

gas injection into heavy oil reservoirs could result in high ultimate recovery of oil. experimental studies showed that an application of a combined technology of gas assisted gravity drainage (gagd) and vapor extraction (vapex) could increase final oil recovery of a candidate viscous oil reservoir. in this paper the results of laboratory investigation are presented, including pressure-volume-t...

CO2-foam injection is a promising technology for reducing gas mobility and increasing trapping within the swept region in deep brine aquifers. In this work, consistent thermodynamic model based on combination of Peng-Robinson equation state (PR EOS) components with an activity aqueous phase implemented to accurately describe complex phase-behavior CO2-brine system. The module combined represent...

The effects of groundwater flow and biodegradation on the long-distance migration of petroleum-derived benzene in oil-bearing sedimentary basins are evaluated. Using an idealized basin representation, a coupled groundwater flow and heat transfer model computes the hydraulic head, stream function, and temperature in the basin. A coupled mass transport model simulates water washing of benzene fro...
