Experimental Investigation of the Displacement Efficiency of Surfactant Flooding in Fractured Porous Medium Using One-Quarter Five Spot Micromodel, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rashtchian, Davood (Supervisor) ; Kharraat, Riaz (Supervisor) ; Ghazanfari, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Naturally fractured oil reservoirs represent over 20% of the world's oil reserves, while over 60% of the world’s remaining oil lies trapped in fractured reservoirs. However, relatively little success has been achieved in increasing oil production from these complex reservoirs. Water flooding process leaves much oil in the reservoir, especially in fractured reservoirs. Surfactant flooding is known to lower the interfacial tension and hence, reduces capillary forces responsible for trapping oil and increasing recovery. However, fundamental understanding how the fracture geometrical properties affect the oil recovery efficiency during surfactant flooding remains a topic of debate in the...
