Future exploitation scheme of an oil reservoir in each cycle within its production life depends on the profitability of the current extraction scenario compared with predicted recoveries that acquire with applying other available methods. In fractured reservoirs appropriate time to pass from the gas injection process into chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) firmly depends on the oil extraction...

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...

prior to the implementation of co2 injection eor projects, the screening evaluation of candidate reservoirs will promote the economic benefits of co2 injection. currently, a uniform screening method for co2 miscible flooding does not exist. based on more than 112 successfully implemented co2 miscible flooding reservoirs, which was referred in 2010 worldwide eor survey, and co2 miscible flooding...

Experiments compare long-range chaotic mixing of miscible and immiscible impurities in a time-periodic flow. For the miscible case, the transport is enhanced diffusion with an effective diffusion constant determined by lobes (turnstiles) that carry impurities between vortices. For the immiscible case, the impurity is broken into a distribution of droplets. If the characteristic droplet size is ...

1. Introduction The formation of miscible mixtures of two chemically dissimilar polymers is in general unfavourable. For many materials a single phase is never formed, while for others, the miscible state is only obtained at low temperatures. The classic description of the interaction between two polymers is via the Flory-Huggins theory (for example see [l]) in which x, the interaction paramete...

We propose a volume fraction based approach to effectively simulate the miscible and immiscible flows simultaneously. In this method, a volume fraction is introduced for each fluid component and the mutual interactions between different fluids are simulated by tracking the evolution of the volume fractions. Different techniques are employed to handle the miscible and immiscible interactions and...

Flash point is the most important variable used to characterize fire and explosion hazard of liquids. Herein, partially miscible mixtures are presented within the context of liquid-liquid extraction processes. This paper describes development of a model for predicting the flash point of binary partially miscible mixtures of flammable solvents. To confirm the predictive efficacy of the derived f...

The applicability of time-temperature superposition of dynamic mechanical data for miscible polymer blends that exhibit strong intermolecular interactions was investigated. Blends of the lithium salt of lightly sulfonated polystyrene ionomers (Li-SPS), 9-12mol% sulfonation, and N-methylated nylon-2,lO (mPA) were miscible over the composition range studied, 30-70 wt% ionomer. Time-temperature su...
