in many reservoirs, after water flooding, a large volume of oil is still left behind. hot water injection is the most basic type of thermal recovery which increase recovery by improved sweep efficiency and thermal expansion of crude.in the present work, the effects of injection rate and the temperature of the injected water were surveyed by using core flooding apparatus. water flooding was perf...

a typical iranian carbonate matrix block surrounded by an open fracture was modeled in order to understand the fracture-matrix interaction and realize how to model the interaction best. the modeling was carried out by using a fine-scaled eclipse model in the single porosity mode (the fractures were explicitly modeled). the model was extended to a stack of 6 matrix blocks to understand block-to-...

co2 injection is an effective technique for improved oil recovery in light oil reservoirs, especially for water flooding abandoned reservoirs. in this study, the lower part of es1 reservoirs in pucheng oilfield was introduced as the target reservoir. by studying the minimum miscible pressure in co2 flooding, the reservoir could achieve miscible flooding. long core displacement experiments prove...

according to the temperature distribution of water injection well-bore in highly deviated wells under different conditions and unstable temperature field heat conduction principles, a true three-dimensional model was established to analyze the law of variation on temperature of highly deviated wells during the water injection process, and to analyze the factors that influence the water injectio...

hydraulic conductivity variations around the boreholes in uniformly graded sands for cyclic water injection pressure have been evaluated by laboratory tests. prototype laboratory devices have been designed and constructed for this research. the cell has a capability to model the well, the boundary condition and to measure the hydraulic conductivity. while increasing water injection pressure, hy...

water injection is an enhanced oil recovery method which is applied for number of reservoirs especially in the offshore fields around the world. sea-water injection process is usually associated with important concerns affecting the efficiency, safety, and economy of the operation like formation damage, mineral scaling, early breakthrough and corrosion. incompatibility between injected and form...

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 corresponding re...
