摘要:
The present invention is directed to a process for producing and separating oil. An aqueous fluid having an ionic content of at most 0.15 M and a total dissolved solids content of from 200 ppm to 10,000 ppm is introduced into an oil-bearing formation. Oil and water are produced from the formation subsequent to the introduction of the aqueous fluid into the formation. A demulsifier and a brine solution having a total dissolved solids content of greater than 10,000 ppm are mixed with the oil and water produced from the formation. Oil is then separated from the mixture of oil, water, demulsifier, and brine solution.
摘要:
A process for producing a fluid containing oil and water from an oil-bearing formation and separating an oil phase and an aqueous phase from the produced fluid. An aqueous polymer mixture is formed by mixing polymer in water having a total dissolved solids content of from 200 ppm to 15,000 ppm. The aqueous polymer mixture is injected into an oil-bearing formation, and, after injecting the aqueous polymer mixture into the formation, a fluid is produced from the oil-bearing formation containing an oil phase and an aqueous polymer-containing phase. Brine is mixed with the produced fluid to enhance separation of the oil phase from the aqueous polymer phase.

The present invention is directed to a system for producing and separating oil. The system comprises an oil-bearing formation, a low salinity aqueous fluid having an ionic strength of less than 0.15M and having a total dissolved solids content of from 200 ppm to 10000 ppm, a brine solution having a total dissolved solids content of greater than 10000 ppm, and a demulsifier. The system further comprises a mechanism for introducing the low salinity aqueous fluid into and oil-bearing formation, a mechanism for producing oil and water from the formation subsequent to introducing the low salinity aqueous fluid into the formation, and a mechanism for contacting the brine solution and the demulsifier with the oil and water produced from the formation and for separating the produced oil from the produced water.

The invention is directed to a process to prepare a gas mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide from an ash containing carbonaceous feedstock. The process involves a partial oxidation (5) obtaining liquid ash (8) and a gas mixture comprising of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and solids (10). The liquid ash is separated from the gas mixture and the temperature of the gas mixture is reduced (11) in the absence of the separated ash. The gas mixture is passed through a vertically positioned diptube (14) wherein water (15) is added to the gas mixture flowing through the diptube to obtain a gas/water mixture. The liquid is separated from the gas/water mixture. The gas thus obtained is passed together with an amount of liquid water through a venturi mixer (19) and scrubbed (24).

A process and a system for enhancing recovery of oil from an oil-bearing formation are provided in which water having a total dissolved solids content is filtered to remove some solids in a filter assembly, the filtered water is treated to remove some ions in a capacitive deionization assembly, and the filtered deionized water is injected into the oil-bearing formation to mobilize crude oil and enhance oil recovery from the formation.
摘要:
Process to prepare a gas mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide from an ash containing carbonaceous feedstock by performing the following steps, (i) partial oxidation of the ash containing carbonaceous feedstock with an oxygen containing gas thereby obtaining liquid ash and a gas mixture comprising of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and solids, (ii) separating more than 90wt% of the liquid ash from the gas mixture, (iii) reducing the temperature of the gas mixture, in the absence of the separated ash (iv) scrubbing the cooled gas of step (iii) by contacting with liquid water obtaining a scrubbed gas and a water effluent containing ash, (v) separating the ash from the water effluent by means of a decanter centrifuge thereby obtaining a wet ash and a stream of water poor in ash.
