(B.Raman), which is the largest oil field of Turkey's already existing CO2 injection system, does not produce at the desired efficiency due to the natural fracture characteristics. Therefore, this research is performed to control the CO2 mobility in the reservoir by creating nanoparticle stabilized CO2 foam using the property of nanoparticles to be adsorbed at the gas-water interface permanently and to achieve additional oil recovery at the B. Raman oil field. In the initial stage of the research, dispersion stabilization and foamability of different nanosilicas are considered. The effects of nanoparticle concentration, salinity, temperature, and pH on foamability and dispersion stabilization were examined. Research results suggested that half hydrophobicity, salt addition, and increased concentration positively affect foamability, whereas the salinity value above 1% generated flocculation. Also, although the foam with half hydrophobic nano-silica named H3O has better foamability, this foam could not be stabilized. The effects of pressure, phase ratio, and flow rate on foam formation were also studied. The better foam was observed at the observation cell when the CO2 to Nano dispersion phase ratio was 1. It was also found that the pressure should be above 1100 psi where the CO2 was in the supercritical phase to create the foam with the current core flooding system. Then, the oil recovery test was conducted with suitable nanoparticles, particularly the PEG and CC301. Before using nano-silica particles, CO2 injection and then WAG was applied to the core sample to express the B. Raman field case. The results indicate that foam application is successful if appropriate conditions exist.

Nanoparticle-stabilized CO2 foams to improve conventional CO2 EOR process at Batı Raman field
Safran, Saibe Esra; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2019)
Because of the natural fractured characteristic of the B. Raman field which is the largest field of Turkey, already existing CO2 injection system does not work at desired efficiency. Thus, the main purpose of this project is to control CO2 mobility in the reservoir by creating nanoparticle stabilized CO2 foam using the property of nanoparticles to place at the gas-water interface permanently and to achieve additional oil recovery at B. Raman. For this purpose, first nanoparticle dispersion stabilization and...
Random walk particle modelling of polymer injection using matlab reservoir simulation toolbox
Mamak, Gökhan; Durgut, İsmail; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2017)
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is essential to increase the maximum recoverable oil by natural means of production. Having chosen an EOR method, the effectiveness of the method should be analyzed before applying to a reservoir since the methods are generally costly. Polymer injection is a chemical EOR process, where the injected polymer with water increases the water viscosity, and help increasing the sweep efficiency in the reservoir. In order to model the effects of polymer injection, the random-walk particl...
Solar generated steam injection in heavy oil reservoirs
Afşar, Cansu; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2014)
Turkey is one of the countries having mostly heavy oil reservoirs with 10-15˚ API gravity. Due to high amount of residual oil in the reservoir, thermal injection methods are evaluated to increase recovery in south-east of Turkey. However, the fuel cost of steam generation, that represents 60% of the total project cost, is a major challenge for companies. Combination of solar generated steam technology and heavy oil recovery techniques encourage companies to reduce the operation costs. This solar aided steam...
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...
Compositional simulation of CO2 storage in a CO2 flooded carbonate reservoir
Bender, S.; Akın, Serhat (null; 2017-01-01)
CO2 emissions can be reduced by storing it in underground geologic formations such as coal seams, mature or depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and deep saline aquifers. The combination of carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery and permanent CO2 storage in mature oil reservoirs has the advantage to project economics. In this research, CO2 storage capacity of a CO2 flooded mature oil reservoir was estimated and the contribution of the CO2 injection to oil recovery was determined by conducting a full-field composit...
