THE CHALLENGE OF THE USE THE MICROORGANISMS IN ENHANCE OIL RECOVER

Authored by Santos SN
Energy is the key to the development of any society. Energy sources derived from fossil fuels are still hold the largest share of energy generation for society. So far, there are no many options for renewable sources and/or large-scale green products for total replacement of this source.The produce from these resources by currently used methods leads to only 8-50% recovery of the total oil present in the reservoir. There is a great need of efficient advanced methods of recovery of fossil fuel, to improve upon the recovery of trapped crude oil, which becomes inaccessible by traditional techniques. Conventional oil production occurs in three stages: Primary oil recovery is the result of natural internal reservoir pressure which exists within the formation, harvests only 30-40% of the original oil in place (OOIP) Patel et al.. When this internal driving force diminishes to a point at which oil production decline, then secondary recovery methods follow in the form of water flooding, which continues until the ration of oil produced to water injected yields more water than oil, after which the process becomes uneconomical to separate oil from the oil - water mixture. Enhanced recovery methods include the introduction of fluids to physically displace the OOPI to make it easier to recovery. It is estimated such secondary recovery methods will recoup about 15-25% of the OOIP Belyaev et al., Lazar et al., McInerney et al. ; Van Hamme et al., Patel et al. 2015. This residual oil is usually the target of many enhanced oil recovery technology and it amounts to about 2-4 trillions barrels Hall et al.,. Around 67% of the total oil reserves Bryant et al. The tertiary recovery methods involving chemical or thermal energy, which chemical flooding includes use of alkaline water floods, carbon dioxide flooding, and polymer flooding? Thermal recovery includes in situ combustion and the injection of steam. But all these recovery methods suffer from technological problems and money constraints.

Optimization of Gas Lift Allocation Using Different Models-Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers Abstract Gas lift for oil-gas extraction is a common practice; however, obtaining maximum productivity of a series of set is not a simple tax because high amount of gas lift makes the optimization of few wells at the same time a very hard task. Therefore, data processing approaches based on calculations and computerized modeling has been receiving attention. By modeling well, it could be possible to obtain higher production rate versus less gas consumption. The present paper is a new approach that uses neural functions and genetic algorithm and studies the different aspects of problem solving for gas allocation optimization in five wells. The results showed that artificial neural networks have very good function in modeling gas lift process and creating gas lift performance curve versus classic methods. The differences between the results obtained by artificial neural network in comparison with results that are obtained in classic methods prove t

What can be done to Prevent Accidental Toxic Release, Fire & Explosion in Chemical Process Industry?-Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers Abstract Public perceptions are significantly affected by industrial incidents and the contribution and essential societal role of different industries are often overlooked when any catastrophic incident occurs. What can be done to prevent release of toxic chemical, fire & explosion or any other catastrophic incidents? Majority of the incidents occurred in the process industries due to lack of competence, system failure, human error and/or someone did not do what they were supposed to do. The root causes of the incidents in process industries are more or less same. The incidents can be avoided if the organization maintains a positive safety culture to improve its process safety performance and take advantage of lesson learned from the previous incidents. Everyone in any organization starting from the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, senior executives, supervisors and operators should be accountable and responsible for their appropriate
