Gas injection leads to foam formation in porous media in the presence of surfactant solutions, which is used for flow diversion and enhanced oil recovery. We present here laboratory experiments of co-injecting nitrogen and sodium C14?16 alpha olefin sulfonate with two concentrations: 20× the critical micelle concentration (CMC) in an...

The wettability behavior of the matrix block is one of the major factors controlling the effectiveness of the employed EOR methods in NFRs. Water injection in NFRs with mixed-wet or effectively oil-wet matrix blocks usually results in low oil recoveries. In this case, gas injection is considered to be an alternative process, where the process...

The growing concern about global warming has increased interest in improving the technology for the geological storage of CO2 in aquifers. One important aspect for aquifer storage is the rate of transfer between the overlying gas layer and the aquifer below. It is generally accepted that density driven natural convection is an important...

Mutually-soluble solvents can enhance oil recovery both in mixed-wet fractured reservoirs. When a partially waterwet matrix is surrounded by an immiscible wetting phase in the fracture, spontaneous imbibition is the most important production mechanism. Initially, the solvent moves with the imbibing brine into the core. However, upon contact with...

In this paper we review the results of analytical, numerical and experimental studies related to air injection into porous medium containing initially light oil, water and gas at medium pressure conditions. The new combustion mechanism is described, where the process of the medium temperature oxidation interacts with the oil vaporization...

Carbon dioxide injection, either miscible or immiscible, has been known as an efficient strategy to enhance oil recovery as well as reduce CO2 emission. Wettability has a significant effect on the performance of enhanced oil recovery techniques because of its effect on fluid saturation distribution and flow behavior in porous media. For oil-wet...

Shallow aquifers in the Ganges River channel belt (Bihar, India) have high and spatially variable concentrations of arsenic contamination. The arsenic is of geogenic origin. Hydrated iron-arsenic-oxide coatings on quartz and clay minerals occur in the Ganges River deposits. The arsenic is subsequently released to the groundwater in a...

In fractured reservoirs, much of the oil is stored in low permeable matrix blocks that are surrounded by a high permeability fracture network. Therefore, production from fractured reservoir depends on the transfer between fracture and matrix, which is critically dependent on their interaction. COMSOL Multiphysics® was implemented to model the...

Arsenic-contaminated groundwater causes a wide-spread, serious health risk affecting millions of people worldwide. Focus of the research is the floodplain of the Ganges River in the State of Bihar (India) where groundwater is the principal source of drinking water and irrigation, and where the levels of arsenic exceed the World Health...

Miscible solvent injection has received increasing attention in recent years as an efficient method to improve oil recovery from fractured reservoirs. Due to the large permeability difference between fracture and matrix, the success of this method depends to large extent on the degree of enhancement of the mass exchange rate between the solvent...

In this paper, we follow a similar procedure as proposed by Koval (SPE J 3(2):145–154, 1963) to analytically model CO2 transfer between the overriding carbon dioxide layer and the brine layer below it. We show that a very thin diffusive layer on top separates the interface from a gravitationally unstable convective flow layer below it. Flow in...
