Pore Scale Modeling of Fluid-Fluid Intercations During Low Salinity Waterflooding, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ayatollahi, Shahab (Supervisor) ; Mahani, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
Recent studies have shown that the injection of low-salinity water would enhance the oil recovery factor for both the core scale and the field test. The evidence obtained from laboratory studies showed that the control of salinity and the composition of injected water has successfully affected the oil release, hence enhancing the oil recovery efficiency. In this method, by changing the type and amount of dissolved ions in the injected water, the water/oil/rock interactions are altered. Based on this, extensive studies have been focused on the mechanisms for the trapped oil release at the pore scale. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this phenomenon, which can be divided... Cataloging briefPore Scale Modeling of Fluid-Fluid Intercations During Low Salinity Waterflooding, M.Sc.
