A laboratory investigation of carbon dioxide-enhanced oil recovery by focusing on CO2-oil physical properties
Carbon dioxide (CO2) miscible flooding has become an important method in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) for recovering residual oil. In addition it may help in protection of the environment as (CO2) is widely viewed as an important agent in global warming. Knowledge of the interactions between (CO2) an...

| description | Carbon dioxide (CO2) miscible flooding has become an important method in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) for recovering residual oil. In addition it may help in protection of the environment as (CO2) is widely viewed as an important agent in global warming. Knowledge of the interactions between (CO2) and reservoir crude oil is very critical for any (CO2)-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects. This paper shows the effect of (CO2) miscible flooding application for Egyptian oil fields by swelling studies. The swelling test is a laboratory simulation of the process of injecting gradually different percentage of (CO2) gas into a reservoir containing under-saturated oil. The gas (injection solvent) can dissolve, causing the reservoir fluid to swell. This paper presents a summary of a wide range of laboratory tests conducted on ten different crude oils varying from 26.4 to 40.5 API. These were used to invested the use of (CO2) and its effect on parameters such as viscosity, density, gas solubility and swelling factor as a function of pressure at temperature from 620.3 to 706.0 °R. Keywords: Enhanced oil recovery, (CO2) injection, Minimum miscibility pressure (MMP), Swelling tests |
