Adsorption of basic crude oil components onto carbonate chalk surfaces – effect on initial wettability.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-14)The initial wetting of carbonate reservoirs is of great importance to the overall oil recovery and smart water processes. Crude oil is a complex mixture of organic components, and the polar components present in it can ... -
Effect of crude oil adsorption and asphaltene precipitation on sandstone wettability
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)Wettability is an important property for oil recovery. It affects capillary pressure and controls fluids, location, and flow in the reservoir. By an increase in capillary pressure (due to increased water wetness), previously ... -
Optimizing carbonate core restoration procedures - Effect of crude oil saturation and mild cleaning
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-15)Wettability has a big impact on how much we can recover by water flooding a reservoir, and there is a commercial potential for improvement done through alteration of the wettability. Studies have been conducted and shown ... -
Smart Water injection into sandstone reservoirs for EOR - Optimal mineral sample preparation and influence of feldspar minerals
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IEP/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-15)Smart Water is an injection brine that has been modified and designed for inducing wettability alteration to increase oil recovery in a reservoir. It is an cost effective and environmentally friendly EOR method that can ...
