Design of well stimulation fluids
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5071566
Stimulation of a permeable, oil-bearing subterranean formation is effected by designing a micellar dispersion to have a mobility about equal to the square root of the product of the mobility of the combination of water and oil in the reservoir times the mobility of the drive fluid. About 0.1 to about 10 bbl of the micellar dispersion per vertical foot of oil-bearing formation is injected into the formation. Drive fluid is then injected to displace the micellar dispersion out into the formation. (10 claims)
