MISCIBLE FLOOD [3 records]

Record 1 2004-05-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Research and Development (Petroleum Tech.)
CONT

It is estimated that about 4000 m3/d of pentanes plus is not currently available for use as a diluent. This amount includes the volumes that are used in miscible flood oil recovery projects, as refinery feedstock, or batched directly to light crude oil streams.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Recherche et développement (Technol. pétrol.)
CONT

On estime qu'environ 400m3/j de la production totale de pentanes plus servent à d'autres fins que la dilution du bitume et des bruts lourds. Cette quantité inclut les volumes utilisés pour la récupération par injection de fluides miscibles et comme charge d'alimentation de raffineries ainsi que les volumes acheminés directement vers les marchés pour être vendus.

Record 3 1988-01-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Production
CONT

As mixing progresses, the maximum surfactant concentration in the microemulsion slug decreases and eventually exits the miscible region; i. e., slug breakdown occurs and the locally miscible flood becomes an immiscible displacement.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Production pétrolière
CONT

La taille du banc de solvant pur ne cesse de décroître au fur et à mesure du balayage. Il y a lieu d'éviter que la largeur de ce banc ne s'annule avant la percée du mélange H-S au puits de production, car cela signifierait que C et H sont entrés en contact; or C et H ne sont pas miscibles. Quand un tel incident se produit, on dit qu'il y a «rupture de miscibilité».

OBS

Dans le texte ci-dessus H = huile, S = solvant, C = fluide de chasse non miscible avec H.
