Magnus Field: Surfactant stimulation of water injection wells

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5375434
;
Water injection wells in BP's Magnus Field are located updip of the oil water contact because of poor aquifer injectivities. A pilot project was undertaken to increase water injection rates by improving near wellbore relative permeabilities to water, using a surfactant to reduce residual oil saturations. This paper discusses the laboratory reservoir condition core flood tests, the field monitoring during surfactant addition and an interpretation of the success of the project.
