Abstract

Formålet med dette projekt at at undersøge formations/ produktionsvands potentiale som injiceringsvæske i olie reservoir, væsken bliver sammenlignet med egenskaber af søvand med lavt sulfat indhold samt almindeligt søvand. Studiet tager udgangspunkt i prøver taget på et oliefelt i nordsøen. Projektet undersøger effekten af injiceret produktionsvand i kombination med søvand med lavt sulfat indhold hvordan det påvirker de hydrofile egenskaber i reservoiret og om væskerne kan ses som potentielle kandidater for en EOR metode.

Determine formation water potential as reinjection water in comparison with LSSW water and plain seawater. The study method is modified flotation technique using synthetic SW as a baseline and oil sample from a representative oilfield in North Sea. The actual effect of reinjection produced water combined with LSSW water in terms of wetability and as a potential enhanced oil recovery method.
