Solution gas drive is an effective process to recover heavy oil from some reservoirs. However, characterization of the relevant recovery mechanism remains a challenge. In this work, we present an experimental study of solution gas drive of a 9°API c

Solution-gas drive has been implemented successfully for some heavy-oil reservoirs in Canada and Venezuela since the 1980's. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of heavy oil-solution gas drive remain unclear. The objective of this study is to probe the phen

Gas or steam gravity drainage is a very efficient recovery mechanism. Field observations, laboratory studies and pore network modeling have pointed towards very low residual oil saturations and high recovery with gravity drainage. While work during t

Seawater Injection Mobile System (SWIMS) is a novel concept involving the use of portable equipment (high pressure pumps, tanks, filters and hoses) to take seawater from the ocean, treat it with anti-corrosion and anti-bacteria chemicals, pump it at

Interpreting pressure transient tests in complex faulted and stratigraphic environments can be difficult. In fluvial depositional environments, where sand continuity is a significant uncertainty, pressure transient test interpretation can generate se

Decisions made during the reservoir development phase have major impact on the project economics. Due to reservoir complexity and severe nonlinear interactions between decision parameters, automated optimization algorithms may be needed to supplement

This paper presents a workflow for benchmarking reservoir model heterogeneity with classical heterogeneity indicators. The advent of parallel simulation with multi-processors has resulted in the building of super giant geo-statistical earth models, w

Summary We provide a general framework for interpreting heavy-oil solution-gas-drive experiments. Evolution of the gas phase below the thermodynamic bubblepoint is investigated with dimensionless scaling groups, mechanistic modeling, and experiments.

The most widely used method of thermal oil recovery is by injecting steam into the reservoir. A well-designed steam injection project is very efficient in recovering oil, however its applicability is limited in many situations. Simulation studies and

Abstract We study three-phase flow in water-wet, oil-wet, and fractionally-wet sandpacks. We use CT scanning to measure directly the oil and water relative permeabilites for three-phase gravity drainage. In an analogue experiment, we measure pressure
