    摘要: A core sample holder for testing core samples from a well includes a body having a wall defining a cavity. At least two sleeves are disposed within the cavity parallel to each other. Each sleeve of the at least two sleeves is configured to individually hold the core samples. At least one cap is removably coupled to an inner surface of the wall. A tube extends from each end of the at least two sleeves to be a dedicated inlet at a first end of each sleeve and a dedicated outlet at a second end of each sleeve.

    摘要: A method of determining foam stability includes placing a core plug and two porous plates into a core holder of a vesselcore plug. The first porous plate and the second porous plate are disposed on opposite sides of the core plug, and the core plug, the first porous plate, and the second porous plate are saturated with surfactant. The method further includes alternating surfactant solution injections between a first injection area located on the first porous plate and a second injection area located on the second porous plate, while ensuring that the surfactant solution is being continuously fed, thereby forming continuously flowing foam in-situ within the core plug, in which the surfactant solution comprises gas and the surfactant; and monitoring the pressure drop to determine the stability of the foam in the core plug.

    摘要: An oil recovery composition of an aqueous solution of one or more salts and dilute polymer and processes for enhanced oil recovery using the oil recovery composition are provided. An oil recovery composition may include an aqueous solution of one or more salts having a salinity of about 4000 parts-per-million (ppm) total dissolved solids (TDS) to about 8000 ppm TDS and a polymer having a concentration of 250 ppm to 750 ppm. The one or more salts may include at least one of sodium chloride (NaCl), calcium chloride (CaCl2), magnesium chloride (MgCl2), sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4). The polymer may include a copolymer of acrylamide and acrylamido tertiary butyl sulfonate (ATBS). The oil recovery compositions provided may be suited for enhancing oil recovery in carbonate reservoirs having in situ oil viscosities less than 3 centipoise (cP).

An oil recovery composition may include an aqueous solution of one or more salts having a salinity of about 4000 parts-per-million (ppm) total dissolved solids (TDS) to about 8000 ppm TDS, a polymer having a concentration of 250 ppm to 500 ppm, metal oxide nanoparticles of up to 0.1 weight (wt) %, and dissolved CO2. The one or more salts may include at least one of sodium chloride (NaCl), calcium chloride (CaCl2), magnesium chloride (MgCl2), sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4). The polymer may include a copolymer of acrylamide and acrylamido tertiary butyl sulfonate (ATBS).
