The article presents the results of research on the possibility of increasing the recovery factor of oil fields by implementing the waterflooding treatment as one of the most common enhanced oil recovery method. Based on the interpretation of data from the core flow tests, an attempt was made to characterize the displacement process using original reservoir brine and waters with lower salinity level. Additionally, the relation between the type of wettability of the rock and recovery factor was investigated. Original reservoir fluids that were characterized in terms of their basic rheological parameters were used for research purposes. The rock material consisted of 16 samples of Cambrian sandstones. The initial scope of work concerned the petrophysical characteristics of the cores, including the determination of their basic parameters, such as absolute gas permeability, porosity and pore volume. Based on the determined values of permeability, the available samples were grouped which made it possible to perform test sets for pairs with the most similar filtration parameters in the next stages of the research. Further work included the performance of relative permeability analyses and the determination of the value of the mobility factor for the oil – reservoir water system in order to determine the type of wettability of the rock and the potential efficiency of the oil displacement process. The main element of the research was the simulation of the waterflooding process carried out in two parts – the first with the use of the original reservoir water (corresponding to the secondary recovery methods) and the second with the use of low-salinity waters (the third recovery methods) in two variants of the mineralization level. Based on the obtained data of the displaced oil, for each of the displacement medium recovery factor curve were constructed and compared with the determined type of wettability of the rock.

The challenge related to the need for an increase of the recovery factor concerns numerous mature, also domestic oilfields, including the most important ones – located in Main Dolomite formation. Satisfactory recovery factor can be ensured only through applying an effective enhanced oil recovery method (EOR). Water Alternating Gas (WAG), as one of the most effective EOR methods, has been tested in conditions characteristic for domestic deposits in carbonate formations. The results of experimental and simulation works carried out at the Oil and Gas Institute (INiG – PIB) indicate significant potential for the application of the WAG method in domestic conditions. An unquestionable advantage of the WAG method is the opportunity to utilize various types of gases, including flue/waste gas or low-energy natural gas. This issue deserves special attention because, as we know, the reduction in the emissions of gases involved in global warming is critical for the future of our planet. Their utilization in EOR methods, coupled with their safe storage in geological structures, constitute measures that reduce the environmental footprint of produced oil. In the article, based on the of experimental results, a simplified economic analysis of the utilization of four gas types in the form of acidic gases (carbon dioxide and its mixture with hydrogen sulfide) and natural gases (high and very high nitrogen content) in the WAG method was carried out. That allowed to identify the most economically optimal variants of the WAG method. The results showed that despite significantly lower effectiveness of nitrogen-rich natural gases in enhancing oil recovery (in the context of recovery factor), their application might be justified in economic terms. The selection of the optimal variant for enhancing recovery is strongly influenced by the assumed (current) cost of acquiring the injected media, and of course by the current (and forecasted) crude oil price.

Water flooding is being widely used in the petroleum industry and has been considered as a simple inexpensive secondary recovery method. But in fractured formations, existence of fracture system in reservoir rock induces an adverse effect on oil recovery by water flooding. Polymer flooding has been successfully applied as an alternative enhanced oil recovery method in fractured formations. But, the role of fracture geometrical properties on macroscopic efficiency of polymer flooding is not yet well-understood, especially in fractured five-spot systems. In this work five-spot glass micromodel, because of micro-visibility, ease of multiple experimentations and also presence of the unexplored issues, was used to experimentally investigate the influence of fracture geometrical characteristics such as fracture orientation, fracture spacing, fracture overlap and etc on the macroscopic efficiency of polymer flooding. The tests were performed on the fractured models which are initially saturated with the crude oil at fixed flow rate conditions and in a horizontally mounting. The results revealed that the macroscopic efficiency of polymer flooding depends on fracture geometrical properties. Fracture orientation showed more imposing effect than other fracture geometrical properties, and fracture with 45 degree inclination to the mean flow direction, gives greatest oil recovery factor. Large spacing fractures give more recovery than small spacing ones and in case of overlapping, fractures with less overlapping help polymer to better propagate which could be related to their greater effective fracture length. This pre-called effect could be responsible to show how continuity and width to length ratio of fractures affect recovery factor, less fracture discontinuity as well as more length to width ratio of fracture give more swept zone. Also, increasing number of fractures decreases oil recovery factor. The results of this work can be helpful to better understanding the role of fracture geometrical properties on macroscopic efficiency of polymer flooding in five-spot fractured systems.

Recent studies showed that salinity concentration of the injected water is more important factor rather than the amount of water injected. The objectives of this study are to analyse the effect of salinity and its behaviour in waterflooding and calculating the recovery factor of the oil produced in sandtone reservoir condition. This study focuses on analysing the effect of salinity to its recovery factor, relative permeability, breakthrough time and water cut of the oil-water system. Laboratory experiment had been carried out to determine the recovery factor by using sandstone core with the dimension length and diameter of 3 in and 1.5 in, respectively. Sodium Chloride (NaCl) was used to control the salinity concentration in waterflooding with range of 1,000 ppm to 14,000 ppm. The experiment was run with constant flow rate, pressure and temperature. In this experiment, deionized water with varied salinity and paraffin oil were used to perform the waterflooding procedure. Based on the results obtained, the highest total oil recovery by waterflooding was 57.8% with 4,000 ppm as the optimum salinity, which is 14.6% higher than oil recovered by 14,000 ppm. The results also showed the change in end-point value of relative permeability. It also showed that water cut tend to increase as the salinity increase, while breakthrough time tend to decrease as the salinity increase.

As time goes by, there will be decreasing of production rates of a field along with decreasing pressure. This led to the necessity for further efforts to increase oil production. Therefore, pressure support is required to improve the recovery factor. Supportable pressure that can be used can be either water flooding and polymer flooding. This study aims to compare recovery factor to scenarios carried out, such as polymer flooding with different concentrations modeled in the same reservoir model to see the most favorable scenario. The method used in this research is reservoir simulation method with Computer Modeling Group (CMG) STARS simulator. The study was carried out by observing at the pressure, injection rate, and polymer concentration on increasing field recovery factor. This study used cartesian grid with the assumption of homogeneous reservoir, there are no faults or other geological condition in the reservoir, and driving mechanism is only solution gas drive. This reservoir, oil type is light oil with API gravity 40.3˚API and layer of conglomerate rock. The simulation result performed with various scenarios provides a good result. Where the conditions case base case field recovery factor of 6.7%, and after water flooding produced 25.5% of oil, whereas with tertiary recovery method is polymer flooding was carried out with four concentrations of 640 ppm, 1,500 ppm, 3,000 ppm, and 4,000 ppm obtained optimum values at 4,000 ppm polymer concentration with recovery factor 28.9%, SOR reduction final value 0,5255, polymer adsorption of 818,700 ppm, reservoir final pressure 1,707 psi, and an increase in water viscosity to 0.94 cP.

<em>The majority of petroleum production comes from the brown field where production has decreased from year to year in Indonesia. To increase the recovery factor of petroleum from the reservoir, an advanced step of production is required, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), which can optimize the depletion of old oil fields. EOR is the application of technology that requires cost, technology and high risk. Therefore, before implementing EOR, in a field, we must carefully evaluate both technically and economically to obtain an optimal additional recovery. This research was conducted to increase oil production by injection of Methyl Ester Sulfonate (MES). This study begins with a screening parameter crude oil, formation water, Berea’s core, and determination of phase behavior, interfacial tension (IFT), thermal stability, imbibition, and core flooding tests. The result for concentratin optimum in 0.3% MES and had IFT 0.3267 dyne/cm. The results of core flooding tests are: Recovery factor of waterflooding is 33.95 % and recovery factor of MES injection is 4.19 %.</em>

The features of evaluation of the effectiveness of flow deflection technologies of enhanced oil recovery methods. It is shown that the effect of zeroing component intensification of fluid withdrawal leads to an overestimation of the effect of flow deflection technology (PRP). Used in oil companies practice PRP efficiency calculation, which consists in calculating the effect on each production well responsive to subsequent summation effects, leads to the selective taking into account only the positive components of PRP effect. Negative constituents — not taken into account and it brings overestimate over to overstating of efficiency. On actual examples the groundless overstating and understating of efficiency is shown overestimate at calculations on applied in petroleum companies by a calculation.
