• W4200037456 abstract "Abstract A large, untapped EOR potential may be extracted by extending polymer flooding to carbonate reservoirs. However, several challenges are encountered in carbonates due to generally more heterogeneous rock and lower permeability. In addition, high salinity may lead to high polymer retention. Here we show how in-situ viscosity varies with permeability and heterogeneity in carbonate rock from analysis of core flood results and combined with review of data available in literature. In-situ rheology experiments were performed on both carbonate outcrop and reservoir cores with a range in permeabilities. The polymer used was a high ATBS content polyacrylamide (SAV10) which tolerates high temperature and high salinity. Some cores were aged with crude oil to generate non-water-wet, reservoir representative wettability conditions. These results are compared to a compilation of literature data on in-situ rheology for predominantly synthetic polymers in various carbonate rock. A systematic approach was utilized to derive correlations for resistance factor, permeability reduction and in-situ viscosity as a function of rock and polymer properties. Polymer flooding is applied to improve sweep efficiency that may occur due to reservoir heterogeneities (large permeability contrasts, anisotropy, thief zones) or adverse mobility ratio (high mobility contrast oil-brine). In flooding design, the viscosity of the polymer solution in the reservoir, the in-situ viscosity, is an essential parameter as this is tuned to correct the mobility difference and to improve sweep. The viscosity is estimated from rheometer/viscometer measurements or, better, measured in laboratory core flood experiments. However, upscaling core flood experiments to field is challenging. Core flood experiments measure differential pressure, which is the basis for the resistance factor, RF, that describes the increased resistance to flow for polymer relative to brine. However, the pressure is also influenced by several other factors such as the permeability reduction caused by adsorption and retention of polymer in the rock, the tortuosity of the rock and the viscosity of the flowing polymer solution. Deduction of in-situ viscosity is straight forward using Darcy's law but the capillary bundle model that is the basis for applying this law fails for non-Newtonian fluids. This is particularly evident in carbonate rock. Interpretation of in-situ rheology experiments can therefore be misleading if the wrong assumptions are made. Polymer flooding in carbonate reservoirs has a large potential for increased utilization of petroleum reserves at a reduced CO2 footprint. In this paper we apply learnings from an extensive core flood program for a polymer flood project in the UAE and combine this with reported literature data to generate a basis for interpretation of in-situ rheology experiments in carbonates. Most importantly, we suggest a methodology to screen experiments and select data to be used as basis for modelling polymer flooding. This improves polymer flood design, optimize the polymer consumption, and thereby improve project economy and energy efficiency." @default.
