RISScaling Criteria for Waterflooding and Immiscible CO2 Flooding in Heavy Oil Reservoirs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Scaling criteria have been developed and validated to evaluate performance of waterflooding and immiscible CO2 flooding in heavy oil reservoirs by using a three-dimensional (3D) sandpacked displacement model. Experimentally, ...
Quantification of a Single Gas Bubble Growth in Solvent(s)–CO2–Heavy Oil Systems With Consideration of Multicomponent Diffusion Under Nonequilibrium Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A mechanistic model has been developed and validated to quantify a single gas bubble growth with considering multicomponent gas diffusion in solvent(s)–CO2–heavy oil systems under nonequilibrium conditions. Experimentally, ...
Experimental and Theoretical Quantification of Nonequilibrium Phase Behavior and Physical Properties of Foamy Oil Under Reservoir Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel and pragmatic technique has been proposed to quantify the nonequilibrium phase behavior together with physical properties of foamy oil under reservoir conditions. Experimentally, constant-composition expansion (CCE) ...
Dynamic Dispersion Coefficient of Solutes Flowing in a Circular Tube and a Tube-Bundle Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mathematical formulations have been proposed and verified to determine dynamic dispersion coefficients for solutes flowing in a circular tube with fully developed laminar flow under different source conditions. Both the ...
Effects of Non-Darcy Flow and Penetrating Ratio on Performance of Horizontal Wells With Multiple Fractures in a Tight Formation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel slab source function has been formulated and successfully applied to examine effects of non-Darcy flow and penetrating ratio on performance of a horizontal well with multiple fractures in a tight formation. The ...
Critical Review of Stabilized Nanoparticle Transport in Porous Media
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Over the past few decades, due to the special features (i.e., easily produced, large-surface-area-to-volume ratio, and engineered particles with designed surface properties), nanoparticles have not only attracted great ...
Correlations of Equilibrium Interfacial Tension Based on Mutual Solubility/Density: Extension to n-Alkane–Water and n-Alkane–CO2 Binary/Ternary Systems and Comparisons With the Parachor Model
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, new and pragmatic interfacial tension (IFT) correlations for n-alkane–water and n-alkane–CO2 systems are developed based on the mutual solubility of the corresponding binary systems and/or density in a ...
Integrated Optimization of Hybrid Steam-Solvent Processes in a Post-CHOPS Reservoir with Consideration of Wormhole Networks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, an integrated technique has been developed to evaluate and optimize performance of hybrid steam-solvent processes in a post-cold heavy oil production with sand (CHOPS) reservoir with consideration of wormhole ...
Simultaneous Interpretation of Three-Phase Relative Permeability and Capillary Pressure for a Tight Carbonate Reservoir From Wireline Formation Testing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, techniques have been developed to interpret three-phase relative permeability and water–oil capillary pressure simultaneously in a tight carbonate reservoir from numerically simulating wireline formation ...
A Power-Law Mixing Rule for Predicting Apparent Diffusion Coefficients of Binary Gas Mixtures in Heavy Oil
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A power-law mixing rule has been developed to determine apparent diffusion coefficient of a binary gas mixture on the basis of molecular diffusion coefficients for pure gases in heavy oil. Diffusion coefficient of a pure ...
