Numerical study of the mechanisms of nano-assisted foam flooding in porous media as an alternative to gas flooding.

Oil reservoirs are nearing maturation, necessitating novel enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques to meet escalating global energy demands. This demand has spurred interest in reservoir production analysis and forecasting tools to enhance economic and technical efficiency. Accurate validation of these tools, known as simulators, using laboratory or field data is pivotal for precise reservoir productivity estimation.

Polymer Retention Determination in Porous Media for Polymer Flooding in Unconsolidated Reservoir.

Polymer flooding is a well-established technique aimed at improved recovery factors from oilfields. Among the important parameters affecting the feasibility of a large deployment, polymer retention is one of the most critical since it directly impacts the oil bank delay and therefore the final economics of the project. This paper describes the work performed for the East-Messoyakhskoe oilfield located in Northern Siberia (Russia).
