- W2338393710 abstract "Abstract Primary cold production for the extra-heavy oils (4–10°API) of La Faja Petrolifera del Orinoco (FPO), Venezuela, is currently a low percentage (<5%) of the OOIP. Chemical EOR (CEOR) studies are being accomplished in order to increase oil recovery in those thin-bedded reservoirs which host up to 35% of the OOIP, where thermal EOR methods are not convenient because of heat losses and environmental issues. Specifically, Surfactant-Polymer (SP) flooding is now considered as a feasible approach to achieve both mobility control and mobilization of residual oil in the FPO's target zones for CEOR. The objectives of this experimental study were to identify some mechanisms in play when surfactant and polymer solutions are injected in cores to displace extra-heavy oil and to assess for the potential of SP flooding for one of the FPO's reservoirs. The tests reported were performed with a dead crude oil of 9°API and 4500 cP, and injection water salinity of 6.4 g/L with low hardness and at a temperature of 50°C. The SP formulation consisted of a standard high molecular weight HPAM at rather high concentration to achieve high viscosity and an alkaline-free surfactant formulation providing both low interfacial tension (IFT) and good compatibility with polymer even at high polymer concentration. When possible, oil saturation profiles were determined by CT-scan at the main steps of the experiments. Conditions and methodologies to determine the relevant experimental parameters for high viscosity oil have firstly been developed. Then, a set of surfactant and polymer injection tests have been performed on Bentheimer outcrop cores. These tests demonstrated that injection of the SP formulation after a secondary polymer flood was able to achieve a significant reduction of the residual oil (ASo = 80% ROIP). Results of secondary injections of water (final oil saturation, Sofinal = 63%), surfactant solution (Sofinal = 39%) and SP formulation (Sofinal = 5%) have also shown that mobility control is of tremendous importance to achieve high recovery, even at the core-scale. The potential of the SP formulation has also been validated on unconsolidated reservoir rock material from the FPO (Sofinal = 8%). Relative permeabilities have also been determined to investigate the feasibility of an effective modeling of the impact of the surfactant on oil recovery without making any assumption of the local mechanisms in play. Future work will involve 3D reservoir simulation with physico-chemical parameters generated at the lab." @default.
