Oil and Gas Recovery TestingIn the ever-evolving landscape of environmental challenges, a new class of contaminants has emerged that demands our utmost attention—the so-called "new pollutants." As a trusted partner in the field of environmental protection, CD BioSciences is committed to staying at the forefront of new pollutant monitoring.
Oil and gas reservoirs are complex, heterogeneous, and often challenging environments where extracting hydrocarbons can be a delicate and intricate process. Effective recovery of oil and gas resources requires a deep understanding of the physical, chemical, and geological factors that influence fluid flow and displacement within the reservoir. This is where oil and gas recovery testing plays a crucial role.
Oil and gas recovery testing involves a comprehensive suite of laboratory analyses and field experiments designed to evaluate the performance of various enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques. These techniques aim to improve the microscopic displacement efficiency, macroscopic sweep efficiency, and overall recovery factor beyond what can be achieved through conventional primary and secondary recovery methods, such as water flooding or gas injection.
Fluid-Rock Interactions
Examining the interactions between the reservoir fluids (oil, gas, and water) and the rock matrix is essential for understanding wettability, capillary forces, and the potential for chemical reactions that can impact fluid flow and displacement.
Multiphase Flow Behavior
Investigating the flow characteristics of multiple fluid phases (oil, gas, and water) in the porous media, including relative permeability, viscosity effects, and gravity segregation, is crucial for predicting and optimizing recovery processes.
EOR Mechanism Evaluation
Assessing the effectiveness of various EOR methods, such as miscible gas injection, chemical flooding (e.g., polymer, surfactant, alkali), and thermal recovery techniques, to understand their impact on microscopic displacement and macroscopic sweep efficiency.
Reservoir Characterization
Integrating geological, petrophysical, and production data to build comprehensive models of the reservoir, which can then be used to design and optimize recovery strategies.
