Quick Performance Models for Evaluation of CO2 and other Gas-Based Miscible EOR – Application to Devonian Reefs of Alberta

FY 2020-21 · 2021-02-01

Summary
A methodology will be developed for identification and characterization of those geological factors that have a large impact on the technical and economic performance of vertical miscible -EOR in the Devonian reefs of Alberta. Furthermore, an in-house program (potentially excel-based) will be developed for quick-performance evaluation of miscible (CO2) EOR in these reservoirs. Of particular interest are determination of those factors that determine technical and economic success of a project including the relation between injection rate/volume and bypassed-oil, breakthrough time producing GOR. Finally, the above methodology will be applied to number of the Devonian reefs of Alberta to rank their suitability for miscible-EOR.

Description (French)
Une méthodologie sera conçue pour déterminer et caractériser les facteurs géologiques qui ont un impact important sur les performances techniques et économiques du RAH miscible vertical dans les récifs du Dévonien de l'Alberta. En outre, un programme interne (potentiellement basé sur l'excellence) sera élaboré pour une évaluation rapide des performances du RAH (CO2) miscible dans ces réservoirs. Il est particulièrement intéressant de déterminer les facteurs qui définissent la réussite technique et économique d'un projet, notamment la relation entre le taux/volume d'injection et le pétrole contourné, le temps de percée produisant le facteur de gaz. Enfin, la méthodologie ci-dessus sera appliquée à un certain nombre de récifs du Dévonien de l'Alberta afin de classer leur aptitude à la RAH miscible.
