Magnetic Heating

Magnetic heating of crude oil mixed with nanoparticle for heat transfer mechanism enhancement has received much attention in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). In the present work, the heat transfer of Fe3O4, Al2O3, CuO, Cu nanoparticles mixed in crude oil is theoretically investigated. The mathematical model of magnetic field heating in reservoir is represented by the channel flow of crude oil-nanofluid subjected to a longitudinal spatially varying magnetic field. The viscous incompressible flow is bounded by nonisothermal walls. The coupled nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) are solved numerically using an unconditionally stable time integration and finite element method. The numerical results are validated against data available in literature. The physical aspects of the crude oil-nanofluid flow and heat transfer are discussed in terms of several pertinent parameters such as solid nano fraction, skin friction, magnetic, Hartmann and Nusselt numbers. It is found that the enhancement of heat transfer increases with the magnetic number and solid nano fraction while decreases with the increase in Hartmann number. It is shown that, the addition of nanoparticle and increment of magnetic number is effective in the localised heating. In addition, the heat transfer of Fe3O4, Al2O3, CuO, Cu nanoparticles in crude oil mixed are investigated and assessed against each other. It is observed that, the heating mechanism would not be as effective for high electrically conducting nanoparticles. The results also indicate that nanoparticle with high thermal conductivity and low electrical conductivity is preferable in obtaining susceptible thermal heating for the EOR.

Miscible Flow

The multiphase flow mechanism in miscible displacement through porous media is an important topic in various applications, such as petroleum engineering, low Reynolds number suspension flows, dusty gas dynamics, and fluidized beds. To simulate such flows, volume averaging spatial operators are considered to incorporate pressure drag and skin friction experienced by a porous medium. In this work, a streamline-based Lagrangian methodology is extended for an efficient numerical approach to handle dispersion and diffusion of solvent saturation during a miscible flow. Overall pressure drag on the diffusion and dispersion of solvent saturation is investigated. Numerical results show excellent agreement with the results obtained from asymptotic analysis. The present numerical simulations indicate that the nonlinear effects due to skin friction and pressure drag cannot be accurately captured by Darcy’s method if the contribution of the skin friction dominates over that of the pressure drag. Moreover, mass conservation law is investigated, which is an important feature for enhanced oil recovery, and the results help to guide a good agreement with theory. This investigation examines how the flow regime may be optimized for enhanced oil recovery methods.

Stage Of Development

Many Russian oil fields enter the final stage of development. They implement enhanced oil recovery methods (EOR). Promising EOR include wave effect on the formation by a downhole vibration source based on an electromagnetic hammer. The paper presents the results of a numerical study of the dynamics of striker movement in transformer oil. The dependences of striking speed on oil viscosity, configuration and area of a bypass hole are determined.
