Hydrocarbon Recovery / Flow in Porous Media

Oral Presentation

Although the realm of water and gas injection within enhanced oil recovery has garnered considerable attention in the contemporary era, some engineers believe that alternative and cost-effective methods could play a more pivotal role in this field. Utilization of substances like surfactants and polymers is seen as an innovative technique that has made a substantial impact on the oil sector;...

Hydrocarbon Recovery / Flow in Porous Media

Oral Presentation

This research delves into the transportation of micro-sized particles within a doublet pore model featuring two distinct pore throat sizes. To simulate a two-phase particle-fluid suspension, the CFD-DEM method is employed, combining the Navier-Stokes equation with Newton's second law of particle motion. Cohesion forces between particles and pore throats are characterized using the Simplified...

Hydrocarbon Recovery / Flow in Porous Media

Oral Presentation

Gas injection into oil reservoirs encounters several challenges, including the presence of nanopores, asphaltene precipitation, and adsorption of fluid molecules on the porous medium. Miscible gas injection has been shown to be the most efficient method in many cases. Therefore, estimating the minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is crucial in this process. However, the presence of fluid in the...

Hydrocarbon Recovery / Flow in Porous Media

Oral Presentation

Non-Newtonian fluid flow within porous media, exemplified by polymer remediation of contaminated groundwater/aquifer systems, presents complex challenges due to the fluids' complex rheological behavior within 3D tortuous pore structures. This paper introduces a pore-scale flow simulator based on the OpenFOAM open-source library, designed to model shear-thinning flow within porous media....
