SUPRI heavy oil research program. Ninth annual report, October 1, 1984-September 30, 1985
This research program is composed of the following five tasks: (1) flow properties study - to assess the effects of temperature and pressure on relative permeability to oil and water, capillary pressure and electrical resistivity in petroleum reservoirs; (2) in-situ combustion to evaluate the different parameters affecting combustion field projects, including the study of the reaction kinetics of combustion in the presence of reservoir matrix and crude oil; (3) steam injection with additives - to develop a process allowing mobility control in steam drive in order to reduce gravity override and channeling of steam, primarily by use of surfactants foams; (4) reservoir definition-to improve techniques of well-to well formation evaluation such as tracer tests, pressure transient tests, and well logging, and to facilitate the interpretation of such tests; (5) field support studies - to provide technical support in design and monitoring of enhanced oil recovery field experiments. Progress reports are presented for these five tasks.
