主 题:Water-alternating-gas injection Minimum miscibility pressure Enhanced oil recovery WAG ratio WAG cycle
摘 要:The paper deals with the screening of injection of water-alternating-gas(WAG)to tap the residual oil saturation left in the reservoir by over and above the water *** detailed mineralogical composition has been studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD)method along with the petrophysical parameters to see their impacts of flow on Himmatnagar(India)***,aromatics,resins,and asphaltenes present in the crude oil were determined by ASTM *** miscibility pressure of CO2 with the crude oil was determined and it has been found at 1254 psi based on thermodynamic *** WAG ratios of 1:1,1.5:1 and 2:1 have been applied for EOR during *** on water injection followed by CO2 has been performed for investigation of the WAG process efficiency.A total 2 cycles of WAG injection was done with water flow rate of 1 ml/min and gas injection pressure around 1250 psi to achieve the better contact *** experimental data has been generated,compiled and interpreted during different cycles of WAG *** was observed that WAG ratio 2:1 exhibits highest additional oil recovery around 34%of original oil in *** WAG ratio yields more additional oil recovery.
