Abstract

The use of an equation of state to predict phase behavior during carbon dioxide flooding is well established. The characterization of the C/sub 7/ fraction and the selection of interaction parameters are the most important variables. Single-contact phase behavior is presented for mixtures of Ford Geraldine (Delaware), Maljamar (Grayburg), West Sussex (Shannon), and Reservoir D reservoir fluids, and of a synthetic oil with carbon dioxide. The phase behavior of these mixtures can be reproduced using 3 to 5 pseudo components and common interaction parameters. The critical properties of the pseudo components are calculated from detailed oil characterizations. Because the parameters are not further adjusted, this approach reduces the empiricism in fitting phase data and may result in a more accurate representation of the system as the composition of the oil changes during the approach to miscibility. 21 references.

Predicting phase behavior of mixtures of reservoir fluids with carbon dioxide

Conference Grigg, R; Lingane, P - Soc. Pet. Eng. AIME, Pap.; (United States)

The use of an equation of state to predict phase behavior during carbon dioxide flooding is well established. There is consensus that the characterization of the C fraction, the grouping of this fraction into ''pseudo components'', and the selection of interaction parameters are the most important variables. However, the literature is vague as to how to best select the pseudo components, especially when aiming for a few-component representation as for a field scale compositional simulation. Single-contact phase behavior is presented for mixtures of Ford Geraldine (Delaware), Maljamar (Grayburg), West Sussex (Shannon), and Reservoir D reservoir fluids, and of a syntheticmore »« less
Simplified method for computing phase behavior of crude oil-carbon dioxide mixtures

Thesis/Dissertation Mohammed, S

Phase behavior plays a fundamental role in oil recovery processes, ranging from the production of gas condensate and volatile oil reservoirs to the injection of CO{sub 2} and N{sub 2} for enhanced oil recovery processes. In this study, a K-value method is developed. This method, expressed in a simple mathematical form, relates the equilibrium ratios of each component with its boiling temperature, critical temperature and pressure, and the mixture's pressure, convergence pressure and overall compositional changes. This method uses some experimental data for the mixture under study to adjust the form of the K-value expression. These experimental data are obtainedmore »« less
Application of Advanced Reservoir Characterization, Simulation, and Production Optimization Strategies to Maximize Recovery in Slope, and Basin Clastic Reservoirs, West Texas (Delaware Basin)

Technical Report Dutton, Shirley

The objective of this Class 3 project is to demonstrate that detailed reservoir characterization of slope and basin clastic reservoirs in sandstones of the Delaware Mountain Group in the Delaware Basin of West Texas and New Mexico is a cost effective way to recover a higher percentage of the original oil in place through strategic placement of infill wells and geologically based field development. Project objectives are divided into two main phases. The original objectives of the reservoir-characterization phase of the project were (1) to provide a detailed understanding of the architecture and heterogeneity of two representative fields of themore »« less

The objective of this project is to demonstrate that detailed reservoir characterization of slope and basin clastic reservoirs in sandstones of the Delaware Mountain Group in the Delaware Basin of West Texas and New Mexico is a cost-effective way to recover a higher percentage of the original oil in place through strategic placement of infill wells and geologically based field development. This project involves reservoir characterization of two Late Permian slope and basin clastic reservoirs in the Delaware Basin, West Texas, followed by a field demonstration in one of the fields.

Predicting the equilibrium phase behavior of carbon dioxide/hydrocarbon mixtures using a continuous thermodynamic approach

Thesis/Dissertation Angelos, C

Large-scale compositional reservoir simulations of enhanced oil recovery methods such as the carbon dioxide miscible process must compromise between the number of numerical gridblocks and hydrocarbon components that are utilized in the thermodynamic computations. One solution to this problem is to characterize the heptanes plus (C{sub 7+}) fraction as a continuous statistical distribution in one or more physiochemical variables. The distribution is therefore defined by its mean and variance only, and can be used in Continuous Thermodynamics (CT) models where normal discrete summation calculations are replaced by integral operations. The CT approach was investigated with respect to phase equilibria modelingmore »« less
