This work uses pilot examples of CO2 enhanced oil recovery to analyze whether and under which circumstances it is exergetically favorable to sequester CO2 through enhanced oil recovery. We find that the net storage efficiency (ratio between the stored and ...
This study compares two methods of mobility-control design for chemical enhanced oil recovery processes. Method 1 matches the total relative fluid mobility upstream and downstream of the shock front. In method 2 the viscosity of the displacing agent is selected such that the t ...
Physical adsorption and mechanical entrapment are two major causes of polymer retention in porous media. Physical adsorption is considered an equilibrium process and is often modeled by assuming a Langmuir isotherm. The outcome is a steady state pressure response because the p ...
