Numerical modeling studies are carried out to determine the wind and current effects on oil spill distribution. The study is performed by using a simulation software named OILMAP for estimating oil spill distribution together with AQUASEA for obtaining the current pattern in the marine environment. For this purpose, various simulation scenarios are created for the Gulf of Izmit, which is an important industrial coastal zone in the north-west of Turkey. In simulation scenarios, constant and variable wind directions and speeds are used to understand the effect of these parameters on oil spill distribution. Obtained results showed that the wind speed was the dominant factor in oil spill distribution compared to the current effect regarding the closed areas representing insignificant tide heights. Also, simulation scenarios executed for continuously changing wind directions showed that wind direction variation during oil spill time span significantly affects the area of oil slicks on the water surface and onshore. It is concluded that the emergency action plans should include proper oil spill simulations by considering real time wind speed and direction data to take immediate precautions to provide sufficient and satisfactory marine protection.

An Experimental study on steam distillation of heavy oils during thermal recovery
Tavakkoli Osgouel, Yashar; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2013)
Thermal recovery methods are frequently used to enhance the production of heavy crude oils. Steam-based processes are the most economically popular and effective methods for heavy oil recovery for several decades. In general, there are various mechanisms over steam injection to enhance and have additional oil recovery. However, among these mechanisms, steam distillation plays pivotal role in the recovery of crude oil during thermal recovery process. In this study, an experimental investigation was carried o...
Smart water displacement an alternative enhanced oil recovery technique
Polat, Can; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Saner, Salih; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2015)
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of smart water displacement on oil recovery. The brine samples were prepared considering the characteristics of the samples proved to be effective in oil recovery. The effect of these brine samples on rock wettability was observed using Modified Flotation Test (MFT) procedure. The effect of changing brine salinity on interfacial tension between brine and oil samples was observed using interfacial tension meter and ring tensiometer. Liquids used in spontaneo...
Development of a screening model for polymer flooding in multi-layer reservoirs
ZarePakzad, Negar; Durgut, İsmail; Artun, Emre; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2018)
Polymer flooding is a chemical enhanced oil recovery method which aims to increase oil production from a water flooded oil reservoir by increase in water viscosity and reduction in water-oil mobility ratio. These changes result in significant increase in sweep efficiency of water comparing with water-only flooding technique. The objective of this study is to analyze the behavior of multilayer reservoirs under polymer flooding process, considering effects of reservoir characteristics, polymer properties and ...
A study on heat transfer inside the wellbore during drilling operations
Apak, Esat Can; Özbayoğlu, Evren; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2006)
Analysis of the drilling fluid temperature in a circulating well is the main objective of this study. Initially, an analytical temperature distribution model, which utilizes basic energy conservation principle, is presented for this purpose. A computer program is written in order to easily implement this model to different cases. Variables that have significant effect on temperature profile are observed. Since the verification of the analytical model is not probable for many cases, a computer program (ANSYS...
An investigation of polymerflooding in limestone reservoirs with a bottom water zone
Bağcı, Ali Suat; Hodaie, H (Informa UK Limited, 2003-03-01)
The effects of polymers on waterflooding of a limestone reservoir with or without a bottom water zone, as well as the effect of vertical and horizontal production wells on oil recovery, have been investigated in laboratory models. Sixteen core flood displacement tests were conducted to study the effect of relative oil-water layer thickness, polymer slug size, and well configuration in a production port. A qualitative comparison was made to show the difference between waterflooding and polymer-augmented wate...
