Popis:	The goal of the Stanford University Petroleum Research Institute is to conduct research directed toward increasing the recovery of heavy oils. Presently, SUPRI is working in five main directions: (1) Flow properties studies -- To assess the influence of different reservoir conditions (temperature and pressure) on the absolute and relative permeability to oil and water and on capillary pressure. (2) In-situ combustion -- To evaluate the effect of different reservoir parameters on the in-situ combustion process. Ibis project includes the study of the kinetics of the reactions. (3) Steam with additives - To develop and understand the mechanisms of the process using commercially available surfactants for reduction of gravity override and channeling of steam. (4) Formation evaluation -- To develop and improve techniques of formation evaluation such as tracer tests and pressure transient tests. (5) Field support services -- To provide technical support for design and monitoring of DOE sponsored or industry initiated field projects. Accomplishments for this quarter are briefly described for each study.
