| Summary: | The objective of this article is to present a methodology to reproduce the thermal enhanced oil recovery process
called steamflooding, at laboratory scale, using the radial displacement equipment. For the development of this project were conducted four stages of experimentation; all of them integrated
contributed to the design of the steamflooding test at laboratory scale. The first stage of the process consist on the
construction of synthetic plugs for analyzing and determining the most important variables in the process and the
basic petro physical properties. Subsequently, were developed a series of preliminary steamflooding tests with the
plugs previously built, with the purpose of determining the optimum operational parameters of the steam generator
equipment. Later, the homogeneous porous media was buildt; it represents the fourth part of a reservoir pattern, this constitute
the physical model in which the displacement test with steam will be done, it is also presented the technical procedure for the steamflooding tests using the Radial Displacement Equipment (E.D.R) and the final results of the test developed. Finally is presented the development of the analytical model used for predicting and representing a steamflooding process and the subsequent execution of the numerical simulation model at laboratory conditions. Alike is included the results analysis and comparison between the three models used for the development of this
project. |
