- W3183136196 abstract "This paper examines literature that claims, suggests, or implies that floods with “colloidal dispersion gels” (CDGs) are superior to polymer floods for oil recovery. The motivation for this report is simple. If CDGs can propagate deep into the porous rock of a reservoir, and at the same time, provide resistance factors or residual resistance factors that are greater than those for the same polymer formulation without the crosslinker, then CDGs should be used in place of polymer solutions for most/all polymer, surfactant, and ASP floods. In contrast, if the claims are not valid, (1) money spent on crosslinker in the CDG formulations was wasted, (2) the mobility reduction/mobility control for CDG field projects was under-designed, and (3) reservoir performance could have been damaged by excessive loss of polymer, face-plugging by gels, and/or excessive fracture extension. From this review, the clear answer is that there is no credible evidence that colloidal dispersion gels can propagate deep into the porous rock of a reservoir, and at the same time, provide resistance factors or residual resistance factors that are greater than those for the same polymer formulation without the crosslinker. CDGs have been sold using a number of misleading and invalid arguments. Very commonly, Hall plots are claimed to demonstrate that CDGs provide higher resistance factors and/or residual resistance factors than normal polymer solutions. However, because Hall plots only monitor injection pressures at the wellbore, they reflect the composite of face plugging/formation damage, in-situ mobility changes, and fracture extension. Hall plots cannot distinguish between these effects—so they cannot quantify in situ resistance factors or residual resistance factors. Laboratory studies—where CDG gelants were forced through short cores during 2–3 h—have incorrectly been cited as proof that CDGs will propagate deep (hundreds of feet) into the porous rock of a reservoir over the course of months. In contrast, most legitimate laboratory studies reveal that the gelation time for CDGs is a day or less and that CDGs will not propagate through porous rock after gelation. A few cases were noted where highly depleted Al and/or HPAM fluids passed through cores after one week of aging. Details about these particular formulations/experiments were sparse and questions remain about their reproducibility. No credible evidence indicates that the CDG can propagate deep into a reservoir (over the course of weeks or months) and still provide a greater effect than that from the polymer alone. With one exception, aluminum from the CDG was never reported to be produced in a field application. In the exception, Chang reported producing 1–20% of the injected aluminum concentration. The available evidence suggests that some free (unreacted) HPAM and aluminum that was associated with the original CDG can propagate through porous media. However, there is no evidence that this HPAM or aluminum provides mobility reduction greater than that for the polymer formulation without crosslinker." @default.
