- W2008088185 abstract "Abstract In the last decade, high salinity waterflooding has been emerged as a prospective EOR method for chalk reservoirs. Most recently, Saudi Aramco reported significant increase in oil recovery by low salinity waterflooding in Saudi Arabian carbonate reservoirs. Understanding of the mechanisms leading to an increase in oil recovery in both smart waterflooding processes (low and high salinity waterflooding) is still not clear. In this paper, we investigate experimentally the recovery mechanisms for both methods. To understand high salinity waterflooding process, we studied crude oil/seawater ions interaction at different temperatures, pressures and sulfate ion concentrations. For low salinity waterflooding, flooding experiments were carried out initially with the seawater, and afterwards the contribution to oil recovery was evaluated by sequential injection of various diluted versions of the seawater. Our results show that sulfate ions may help decrease the crude oil viscosity when high salinity brine is contacted with oil under high temperature and pressure. We have also observed formation of an emulsion phase between high salinity brine and oil with the increase in sulfate ion concentration at high temperature and pressure. We propose that the decrease in viscosity and formation of an emulsion phase could be the possible reasons for the observed increase in oil recovery with sulfate ions at high temperature in chalk reservoirs, besides the mechanism of the rock wettability alteration, which has been reported in most previous studies. No low salinity effect was observed for the reservoir carbonate core plug at the room temperature. On the contrary, a significant increase in oil recovery was observed under low salinity flooding of the reservoir carbonate core plugs at 90 °C. NMR measurements indicated that low salinity brines did not significantly change the surface relaxation of the carbonate rocks. Migration of fines, dissolution and destruction of rock particles are possible mechanisms of oil recovery increment with low salinity brines from carbonate core plugs at 90 °C. At the present stage, the mechanisms behind increment in oil recovery under various conditions appear to be different." @default.
