In this study, several predictive enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques are used to evaluate potential thermal oil recovery techniques that could be applied on a very heavy oil (10-12°API) field located in Southeast Turkey. Two of the EOR techniques were found to be applicable after the screening process: in situ combustion and steam injection. Sensitivity of the processes to several operating parameters, such as steam injection rate, air injection rate, and steam quality, were established. It was observed that initial project life was not critical in steam injection. However, at higher air injection rates project life was shorter for in situ combustion. As a result of steam-flood and in situ combustion model applications, it was observed that the steam-flood model provided higher recoveries and longer project lives with low residual oil saturation.

3-d model studies of alkaline flooding using horizontal wells
Bağcı, Ali Suat (Informa UK Limited, 2004-07-02)
In this study, the effect of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution for the improved oil recovery of Garzan (26degreesAP1) crude oil was investigated using two different laboratory models. The effect of injection rate on oil recovery was investigated using a one-dimensional unconsolidated limestone reservoir model. The effect of horizontal and vertical well configurations on oil recovery was also studied using a 3-D physical model and various well configurations. As previously studied, the interfacial tension mea...
Experimental and Numerical Simulation of Oil Recovery from Oil Shales by Electrical Heating
Hascakir, Bema; Babadagli, Tayfun; Akın, Serhat (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2008-11-01)
The recovery characteristics of four different oil shale samples were tested experimentally using the retort technique. To accomplish efficient temperature distribution, the thermal conductivity of the oil shale samples was increased by the addition of three different iron powders. The doses of iron powders were optimized for each oil shale sample based on the highest oil production value experimentally. The experiments were then modeled using the electrical heating option of a commercial reservoir simulato...
Application of Vapor Extraction (VAPEX) Process on Carbonate Reservoirs
Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Akın, Serhat (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
The vapor extraction process, or VAPEX has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years as a new method of heavy oil or bitumen recovery. The VAPEX (vapor extraction) can be visualized as an energy efficient recovery process for unlocking the potential of high viscosity resources trapped in bituminous and heavy oil reservoirs. In this research, a total of 20 VAPEX experiments were performed with Hele-Shaw cell using three different Turkish crude oils. Two different VAPEX solvents (propane and butane)...
Feasibility study of heavy oil field
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01)
In this study, application of different enhanced tertiary oil recovery methods were applied considering fluid properties and reservoir characteristics of the heavy oil field. Effect of different oil and inflation rates were analyzed considering project economic life, pay out time, cash flow, and profit to investment ratio for steam flooding and CO2 methods. CO2 injection is found to be more profitable than the steam injection due to the high cost of steam injection operations and reservoir depth.
Application of different EOR techniques for the energy and recovery of Ashal'cha oil field
Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Nurgaliev, Danis K. (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-01)
In this research, utilizing the reservoir and produced oil data, different enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques known as in-situ combustion, CO2 flooding, and steam flooding were applied for Ashal'cha oil field in Republic of Tatarstan, Russia. For this purpose, In-Situ Combustion Predictive Model (ICPM), CO2 Miscible Flood Predictive Model (CO2PM) and Steam-flood Predictive Model (SFPM) are used. In addition to oil recovery, economic analysis of the discussed EOR applications was also conducted. By using...
