Experimental Investigation of Molecular Diffusion Coefficients of Gas-Oil for the Iranian Oil Field Fluids, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kazemeini, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Kharat, Reyaz (Supervisor) ; Ghazanfari, Mohammad Hossein (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
Molecular diffusion of gases in crude oils plays a crucial role in several oil recovery processes especially in cold-based production process. Nowadays, heavy oil is a considerable part of the world hydrocarbon reservoirs and its importance increases as the ordinary oil reserves decrease. The main obstacle in heavy oil production is its low mobility (i.e. high viscosity). This difficulty can be easily solved by injecting gas solvent in these reservoirs. However, experimental data concerning CO2 diffusivity in heavy oils due to the tedious nature of diffusivity measurements are relatively rare in the open literature. In this work, a comprehensive experimental investigation of the effective...
