Abstract

Dette studie vurderer potentialet for at bruge formations-/produceret vand til reinjicering sammenlignet med lavsaltholdigt havvand (LSSW) og almindeligt havvand. Vi anvender en modificeret flotationsteknik i laboratoriet med syntetisk havvand som reference og en olieprøve fra et repræsentativt Nordsø-felt. Fokus er på, hvordan reinjiceret produceret vand, alene eller blandet med LSSW, påvirker klippens vådbarhed, og om dette kan bruges som en metode til forbedret olieudvinding.

This study evaluates the potential of using formation/produced water for reinjection compared with low-salinity seawater (LSSW) and ordinary seawater. We apply a modified flotation technique in the laboratory, using synthetic seawater as a baseline and an oil sample from a representative North Sea field. The focus is on how reinjected produced water, alone or mixed with LSSW, influences rock wettability and whether this could serve as a method for enhanced oil recovery.
