New recovery technique for heavy oil reservoirs with bottomwater

Research output: Contribution to conference › Conference presentation/ephemera › peer-review

Abstract

A new recovery mechanism is proposed for heavy oil reservoirs containing a bottom-water zone. Scaled model experiments are performed to study the feasibility of the process of inert gas injection along with electromagnetic heating. The variables studied were oil-to-water zone thickness ratio, oil viscosity, horizontal well placement, inert gas injection rate and production well temperature. Recovery as high as 77% of the oil in place was obtained even in the presence of a bottom-water zone as thick as the oil zone.
