Unconsolidated Sand

Application of ultrasonic waves as an unconventional enhanced oil recovery method has been a point of interest for some decades. However, despite number of researches on ultrasonic applications, the influencing mechanisms are not fully comprehended. The aim of this study is to experimentally investigate the effects of ultrasonic waves on recovery of waterflooding and to discuss the mechanisms involved. Series of straight (normal) and ultrasonic stimulated waterflooding experiments were conducted on a long unconsolidated sand pack using ultrasonic transducers. Kerosene, vaseline and engine oil were used as non wet phase in the system. Moreover, a series of supplementary experiments were conducted using ultrasonic bath in order to enhance the understanding about contributing mechanisms. 2–16% increase in the recovery of waterflooding was observed. Emulsification, viscosity reduction and cavitation were identified as contributing mechanisms. Key words: Ultrasonic waves; enhanced oil recovery; waterflooding; emulsification

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.
