Abstract Experimental observations clearly show that dispersed-phase pore-scale flow effects of emulsion flow are responsible for drop entrapment at pore throats and this strongly depends on local capillary number. As a result, this dimensionless number is key to parametrize emulsion flooding for EOR purposes. In this work, we incorporate capillary number effects that influence two well-known oil recovery mechanisms observed in continuous emulsion flooding, namely a microscopic increased pore-level efficiency, and a macroscopic mobility control or flood conformance. These mechanisms can be advantageously exploited in a newly proposed process denominated water-alternated-emulsion (WAE) injection, which is the focus of this article. To this end, a capillary number dependence was added to our initial model [17]. The resulted parametrization of relative permeability curves as functions of the capillary number was implemented in a Matlab open-source code. A parametric analysis of a 1/4 five-spot geometry used on the first layer of the Tabert Formation shows that capillary number can significantly impact emulsion mobility control potential that has been shown to contribute to the observed oil recovery enhancement. Emulsions with adequate drop-to-pore size ratio and interfacial properties optimize emulsion mobility reduction and sweep efficiency. Results show that timing of the emulsion injection can promote conformance improvement and accelerate oil production. Mitigation of high injection pressure observed in continuous emulsion flooding is possible during cyclic WAE injection without significant oil recovery impairment.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
