Abstract

A process and compositions for enhancing the recovery of acid crudes are disclosed. The process involves injecting caustic solutions into the reservoir to maintain a pH of 11 to 13. The fluid contains an effective amount of multivalent cation for inhibiting alkaline silica dissolution with the reservoir. A tall oil pitch soap is added as a polymeric mobility control agent.

Process for tertiary oil recovery using tall oil pitch

Patent Radke, C. J.

Compositions and process employing same for enhancing the recovery of residual acid crudes, particularly heavy crudes, by injecting a composition comprising caustic in an amount sufficient to maintain a pH of at least about 11, preferably at least about 13, and a small but effective amount of a multivalent cation for inhibiting alkaline silica dissolution with the reservoir. Preferably a tall oil pitch soap is included and particularly for the heavy crudes a polymeric mobility control agent.

Oil recovery process using tall oil additive

Patent Ayers, R.C. Jr.

A method of recovering oil using an oil solvent mixture is described. The oil-solvent mixture has the unique quality of changing solubility characteristics between its forward and trailing edges. At the forward edge of the mixture, it is soluble with reservoir oil and is substantially insoluble with the connate water. At the trailing edge of mixture, it attains very high solubility with displacing low-salinity water. The changing solubility characteristics of the oil-solvent mixture are a result of a change in its composition between its leading and trailing edges. The essential components of the oil-solvent mixture are a polar organic compound,more »« less

Tertiary crude oil recovery process

Patent Wallace, W.J.

A new and improved tertiary crude oil recovery process or secondary recovery process for recovery of hydrocarbons is described which includes placing a sonic source in a well bore to emit sonic waves which disturbs the earth structure containing unrecovered hydrocarbons and enables the pull of gravity to move the hydrocarbons into the area of an oil well lift pump.
