- W3201173505 abstract "Abstract Even though the influence of wettability alteration on imbibition is well-documented, its synergy with Interfacial-Tension (IFT) for Alkali/Nanoparticles/Polymer flooding requires additional investigation. Particularly, when the oil Total Acid Number (TAN) may determine the wetting-state of the reservoir and influences IFT. Therefore, a laboratory evaluation workflow is presented that combines complementary assessments such as spontaneous imbibition tests, IFT and contact angles measurements. This workflow aims at evaluating wettability alteration and IFT changes when injecting Alkali, Nanoparticles and Polymers or a combination of them. Dynamics and mechanism of imbibition was tracked by analyzing the recovery change with the inverse Bond number. Three sandstone types (outcrops) were used that mainly differ in clay content and permeability. Oils with low and high-TAN were used, the latter from the potential field pilot 16TH reservoir in the Matzen field (Austria). We have identified the conditions leading to an increase of recovery rates as well as ultimate recovery by imbibition of Alkali/Nanoparticles/Polymer aqueous phases. Data obtained demonstrate how oil TAN number (low and high), chemical agent and reservoir mineralogy influence fluid-fluid and rock-fluid interactions. Application of alkali with high-TAN oil resulted in a low-equilibrium IFT. Alkali-alone fall short to mobilize trapped low-TAN oil. Alkali-polymer is efficient in wettability alteration of oil-wet core plugs towards water-wet state for high-TAN oil. The investigated nanofluids manage to restore a water-wet state in cores with high clay content along with improving gravity driven flow. IFT reduction between oil and surface-modified nanoparticles is unaffected by the acidity of the oil. Furthermore, contact angle in high-TAN oil remained similar even after 1000 min of observation for 2.5% clay cores in synthetic brine, but increases significantly when in contact with alkali/polymer. Comparing porosity and permeability before and after imbibition, a slight reduction was observed after imbibition with brine and nanofluids. We preliminary conclude that permeability reduction is not associated to the tested nanoparticles present in solution. We observed evidence of change in the imbibition mechanism from counter-current (capillary driven/high inverse Bond number) to co-current (gravity driven/low inverse Bond number) for nanoparticles/alkali. The calculated inverse Bond number correlates with the ultimate recovery, larger inverse Bond number leading to lower ultimate recovery. This work presents novel data on the synergy of IFT, contact angles and Amott imbibition for the chemical processes studied. We leverage from complementary laboratory techniques to define a comprehensive workflow that allows understanding wettability-alteration when injecting Alkali, Nanoparticles and Polymers or a combination of them. Obtained results show that the workflow can be used as an efficient screening tool to determine the effectiveness of various substances to increase oil recovery rate and ultimate recovery." @default.
