Displacement Mechanics and Stability of Foamy Oil during Secondary Recovery of Heavy Oil Using Methane and Air
DownloadFall 2019
Basilio Meza, Enoc Jeremias Teodoro
Heavy oil and extra-heavy oil (natural bitumen and oil sands) resources represent 70% of the global petroleum reserves and are mostly found in shallow reservoirs with thin pay zones formed by unconsolidated sands. Thermal recovery methods are recognized for being the most efficient; yet, these...

Cartagena Perez, Daniel Felipe
This thesis looks for modelling physically the cyclic solvent injection as enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique used in unconsolidated heavy oil reservoirs, particularly those subjected to Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sands (CHOPS) methods. CHOPS reservoirs are characterized by their low...

As a follow-up method after CHOPS (Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sands), CSI (Cyclic Solvent Injection) was widely accepted in the oil industry. After injected gas solvents with high pressure are dissolved in a heavy-oil reservoir, produced oil shows dispersed gas-phase in the oil, which is...
