  1. Enhanced Oil Recovery Case Study MUN Reservoir Solutions

  2. Agenda • Fluid Recombination and Separation • Separator Optimization • Gas Lift Modeling • Reservoir Modeling • Project Progress/Moving Forward

  3. Workflow Fluid Characterization/ Separation - PVTsim Optimization of Separator Settings – Design Expert Reservoir Simulation - Eclipse Well Constraints – Prosper

  4. Fluid Recombination • Models a recombination of produced fluids to find original reservoir composition • Recombined fluid is the fluid for all MMP tests • Recombined fluid contains produced oil and gas at reservoir conditions. • Flash function models the splitting of the fluids to give the stock tank oil and gas composition

  5. Initial MMP Test • Use this produced gas composition to run MMP test with reservoir fluids MMP Results: • First Contact Miscibility – 980.35 bar • Multi-Contact Miscibility – 563.06 bar • Produced gas is not suitable for injection based on a reservoir pressure of 298 bar

  6. Separator Test • Simulates the separation of reservoir fluid components at specified temperatures and pressures

  7. Separator and MMP Test - Results • We require miscibility pressures close to reservoir pressure – 298 bar • Low pressure and low temperature tests show promising results • Further modeling is required for an optimization of results

  8. Separator Optimization • Use recorded MMP Values for selected separator temperatures and pressures • Generate a relationship between pressure, temperature and MMP – Design Expert

  9. Separator Optimization • Narrow the range of the pressure/temperature used in first stage of separator. • Re-model optimized MMP relationship • Use composition obtained from separator inputs shown below:

  10. Gas Injection Equipment • Author is Burney Waring. Image created with POVray in 1996. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gaslift.jpg)

  11. PROSPER - IPR • Inflow performance relation - reservoir pressure (psig) to the oil flowrate (MMscf/day) • Assumptions and Industry Standard Values used

  12. Prosper - VLP • Vertical Lift Performance • 3 Variable • Gas Oil Ratio • Top Node Pressure • Water Cut • Results and Confirmations

  13. Prosper – Next Steps • Model the Eclipse well • Optimization with more defined variables • Model against other variables • Gas Lift Valve Placement • Tubing Roughness
