摘要: A continuous process for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to be used in heavy and extra heavy oil wells, where low and/or non-profitable production rates occur is presented. The process is named Hot Crude Gravity Drainage (HCGD), and HCGD may include different components to support the heating of crude produced in the oil well that is later going to be injected at the same volumes as heated crude. The crude may be injected in the sand from which it was produced, in order to continuously supply the required energy to significantly lower the viscosity, which in turn increases mobility in the pores of the producing sand and allows for an increment (e.g., of more than 100%) in production as regards the base or initial production of the oil well, in a 45 consecutive day period. The process unit may be simple, compact, modular and skid mounted.

摘要: A combined catalytic viscosity reducing system includes a catalyst slug, a heat generating system slug, a gas injection slug, and a water-soluble viscosity reducing system slug. The catalyst slug includes 10%-15% of azacarbene iron, 15%-30% of tert-butyl hydroperoxide, 2%-5% of phosphoric acid, 2%-5% of hydrogen donor, and 0.5%-1% of emulsifier agent, and the others are solvent. The heat generating system slug includes 10%-30% of NaNO2, 8%-25% of NH4Cl, and 3%-10% of acid initiator, and the others are water, totaling 100%. The water-soluble viscosity reducing system slug, according to mass percentage, includes 0.2%-0.5% of surfactant and 2%-10% of alkali, and the others are water. The combined catalytic viscosity reducing system can effectively reduce viscosity without injecting steam, and the viscosity reduction rate can reach 96.5%.

摘要: A method for recovering bitumen that includes contacting the bitumen with steam and/or water and an organic amine having a boiling point at one atmosphere of greater than 145° C. and recovering the bitumen. The bitumen can be in oil sands, where the step of contacting includes contacting the oil sands having bitumen with the steam and/or water and the organic amine. Contacting the bitumen with the steam and/or water and the organic amine and recovering the bitumen can be done in-situ in a subterranean formation.

摘要: Disclosed are methods for producing hydrocarbons from a subterranean reservoir. The methods comprise penetrating the subterranean reservoir with a plurality of well pairs that are laterally displaced across a well pad in an array. The methods further comprise operating the plurality of well pairs under a first set of conditions that induce a solvent-concentration gradient, a temperature gradient, or a combination thereof within the subterranean reservoir by: (i) injecting varying concentrations of steam, solvent, or combinations thereof across the array, and (ii) producing hydrocarbons from the reservoir via the plurality of well pairs. The methods further comprise operating the plurality of well pairs under a second set of conditions that delocalize the solvent-concentration gradient, the temperature gradient, or the combination thereof across the array to enhance hydrocarbon production.

摘要: The present embodiments generally relate to methods and compositions comprising one or more degraded in situ gelable polymers. Use of such compositions and methods comprising one or more degraded in situ gelable polymers during enhanced oil recovery may result in an increase in oil production relative to methods and/or compositions which do not comprise one or more degraded in situ gelable polymers.

摘要: The invention relates to the recovery of heavy oil reservoirs, and more particularly to a supported catalyst-assisted microwave method for exploiting a heavy oil reservoir. The method includes: (1) injecting a slug of a supported catalyst fluid into the heavy oil reservoir; (2) placing a microwave generator in the heavy oil reservoir to perform volumetric heating on an oil layer containing the supported catalyst fluid; and (3) turning off the microwave generator and injecting water into the heavy oil reservoir for subsequent displacement, where a water injection rate is 3 m/d or less.
