PhD Thesis Abstract

 

 

My PhD thesis describes the results of an integrated experimental and theoretical investigation of the process of carbonated water injection (CWI) as an injection strategy for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) with the added value of CO2 storage.  High-pressure micromodel technology was used to physically simulate the process of CWI and visually investigate its EOR potential, at typical reservoir conditions.  Using the results of these flow visualisation experiments, the underlying physical processes and the pore-scale mechanisms of fluid-fluid and fluid-solid interactions during CWI were demonstrated to be oil swelling, coalescence of the isolated oil ganglia, wettability alteration, oil viscosity reduction and flow diversion due to flow restriction in some of the pores as a result of oil swelling and the resultant fluid redistribution.  A mathematical model was developed that accounts for the pore-scale mechanisms observed during the micromodel experiments.  In this study, some of the micromodel experimental observations were interpreted and the impact of some of the pertinent parameters on CWI and CO2 injection processes was investigated.  The results predicted by the model were linked to the results obtained using a new relationship which was developed based on the dimensional analysis technique.  To examine and investigate the effect of CWI on wettability, micromodel experiments were performed and designed only to observe possible variation of contact angles and spontaneous imbibition displacement mechanisms due to carbonated water (CW).  Contact angle measurements were also conducted to quantify different tendencies of CW and water to wet solid surfaces, using three different solid plates with different salinity of the aqueous phase, under different pressure and temperature conditions. Two other important parameters affecting the performance of CWI, i.e. CO2 solubility in water and its CO2 diffusion coefficient, were also experimentally studied.  Another mathematical model was developed to estimate CO2 diffusion coefficient from the corresponding experimental results.  The results of this research show that CWI is an effective and efficient injection strategy that offers great potential for enhanced oil recovery and at the same time a unique solution to the problem of reducing CO2 emission.
