    Abstract: Performing an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) injection operation in an oilfield having a reservoir may include obtaining a EOR scenarios that each include a chemical agent, obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) porous solid image of a core sample, and generating a 3D pore scale model from the 3D porous solid image. The core sample is a 3D porous medium representing a portion of the oilfield. The 3D pore scale model describes a physical pore structure in the 3D porous medium. Simulations are performed using the EOR scenarios to obtain simulation results by, for each EOR scenario, simulating, on the first 3D pore scale model, the EOR injection operation using the chemical agent specified by the EOR scenario to generate a simulation result. A comparative analysis of the simulation results is performed to obtain a selected chemical agent. Further, an operation is performed using the selected chemical agent.

    Abstract: A method for assessing a gas phase in a flowing multi-phase fluid comprises flowing the fluid through magnetic resonance and pre-polarization modules and applying to the fluid a radio-frequency pulse sequence at least once with and at least once without a magnetic field gradient. The method further includes measuring an NMR signal. The method also includes using a calibration between the ratio of slope and intercept of the NMR signal and flow velocity for at least one non-gas phase with the gradient applied to determine that phase's velocity. A calibration between the signal intensity of the liquid phases as function of flow velocity is used, with and without gradient, to correct the gradient-induced attenuation of the liquid signals and to calculate a gradient-corrected signal intensity of the liquid phases without a magnetic field gradient. Additionally, the method includes subtracting the gradient-corrected signal intensity from the NMR signal to calculate the volumetric fraction of the liquid phase.

    Abstract: A system and process for recovering oil from an oil-bearing formation. An oil recovery formulation that is first contact miscible with a liquid petroleum composition that is comprised of at least 15 mol % dimethyl sulfide is introduced together with steam or hot water into a subterranean oil-bearing formation comprising heavy oil, extra heavy oil, or bitumen, and oil is produced from the formation.
