- W2334348561 abstract "Advances in asphaltene science and a new generation of downhole fluid analysis (DFA) technology have been combined to yield powerful new insights to reservoir tar mats. The asphaltene nanoscience model, the modified Yen model, also known as the Yen–Mullins model, has enabled development of the industry’s first predictive equation of state for asphaltene concentration gradients. This equation of state (EOS) is a modified Flory–Huggins regular solution model for the asphaltene part that has been referred to as the Flory–Huggins–Zuo (FHZ) EOS for asphaltene concentration gradients in oil reservoirs. Measurement of these gradients using “downhole fluid analysis” coupled with analysis using the FHZ EOS has successfully addressed a variety of reservoir concerns including reservoir connectivity, viscosity gradients, and fluid disequilibrium. The EOS model shows that asphaltene concentration gradients can be large owing to both the gravity term and gas/oil ratio (GOR) gradients. The FHZ EOS is reduced to a very simple form—the gravity term only for low GOR black oils and heavy oils—and heavy oils are shown to exhibit enormous asphaltene concentration gradients in contrast to predictions from conventional models. In this paper, the FHZ EOS has been applied not only to calculate asphaltene concentration gradients but also to predict asphaltene phase instability in oil reservoirs. Two types of tar mats are discussed: one with a large discontinuous increase in asphaltene concentration versus depth typically at the base of an oil column (corresponding to asphaltene phase transition); the second with a continuous increase in asphaltene content at the base of a heavy oil column due to an exponential increase in viscosity with asphaltene content. Both types of tar mats are consistent with the Yen–Mullins model of asphaltenes within the FHZ EOS analysis discussed herein. The predictions are in good agreement with the laboratory and field observations, and the mechanisms of forming these two kinds of tar mats are also discussed. This methodology establishes a powerful new approach for conducting the analyses of asphaltene concentration grading and tar mat formation in oil reservoirs by integrating the Yen–Mullins model and the FHZ EOS with DFA technology." @default.
