Analysis and Simulation of Polymer Injectivity Test in a High Temperature High Salinity Carbonate Reservoir
Alzaabi, Mohamed Adel; Leon, Juan M.; Skauge, Arne; Masalmeh, Shehadeh (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-27)Polymer flooding has gained much interest within the oil industry in the past few decades as one of the most successful chemical enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) methods. The injectivity of polymer solutions in porous media ... -
Effect of initial water flooding on the performance of polymer flooding for heavy oil production
Fabbri, Clement; de-Loubens, Roben; Skauge, Arne; Hamon, Gerald; Bourgeois, Marcel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In the domain of heavy to extra heavy oil production, viscous polymer may be injected after water injection (tertiary mode), or as an alternative (secondary mode) to improve the sweep efficiency and increase oil recovery. ... -
Immiscible Viscous Fingering: Modelling Unstable Water–Oil Displacement Experiments in Porous Media
Salmo, Iselin Cecilie; Sorbie, K.S.; Skauge, Arne; Alzaabi, Mohamed Adel Khalfan A (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Viscous fingering in porous media occurs when the (miscible or immiscible) displacing fluid has a lower viscosity than the displaced fluid. For example, immiscible fingering is observed in experiments where water displaces ... -
The Impact of Rheology on Viscous Oil Displacement by Polymers Analyzed by Pore-Scale Network Modelling
Salmo, Iselin Cecilie; Sorbie, Ken; Skauge, Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Several experimental studies have shown significant improvement in heavy oil recovery with polymers displaying different types of rheology, and the effect of rheology has been shown to be important. These experimental ... -
On the Modelling of Immiscible Viscous Fingering in Two Phase Flow in Porous Media
Sorbie, Ken; Al Ghafri, A.Y.; Skauge, Arne; Mackay, Eric (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Viscous fingering in porous media is an instability which occurs when a low-viscosity injected fluid displaces a much more viscous resident fluid, under miscible or immiscible conditions. Immiscible viscous fingering is ... -
Polymer flow in porous media: Relevance to Enhanced Oil Recovery
Skauge, Arne; Zamani, Nematollah; Jacobsen, Jørgen Gausdal; Shaker Shiran, Behruz; Al-Shakry, Badar; Skauge, Tormod (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07-10)Polymer flooding is one of the most successful chemical EOR (enhanced oil recovery) methods, and is primarily implemented to accelerate oil production by sweep improvement. However, additional benefits have extended the ... -
Polymer Injectivity Test Design Using Numerical Simulation
Alzaabi, Mohamed Adel; Jacobsen, Jørgen Gausdal; Masalmeh, Shehadeh; Al Sumaiti, Ali; Pettersen, Øystein; Skauge, Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-03)Polymer flooding is an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process, which has received increasing interest in the industry. In this process, water-soluble polymers are used to increase injected water viscosity in order to improve ... -
Polymer Injectivity: Investigation of Mechanical Degradation of Enhanced Oil Recovery Polymers Using In-Situ Rheology
Al-Shakry, Badar; Skauge, Tormod; Shaker Shiran, Behruz; Skauge, Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-12-24)Water soluble polymers have attracted increasing interest in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes, especially polymer flooding. Despite the fact that the flow of polymer in porous medium has been a research subject for ... -
Qualification of New Methods for Measuring In-Situ Rheology of Non-Newtonian Fluids in Porous Media
Jacobsen, Jørgen Gausdal; Shaker Shiran, Behruz; Skauge, Tormod; Sorbie, Ken; Skauge, Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Pressure drop (ΔP) versus volumetric injection rate (Q) data from linear core floods have typically been used to measure in situ rheology of non-Newtonian fluids in porous media. However, linear flow is characterized by ... -
A strategy for low cost, effective surfactant injection
Spildo, Kristine; Sun, Limei; Djurhuus, Ketil; Skauge, Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05)Ideally, in a chemical flooding process, one would like to inject a surfactant solution that has good solubility at the relevant conditions, ultralow interfacial tension (efficient oil mobilisation) and low loss of surfactant ...
