| The purpose of the method of the present invention is to provide an improved method and an improved apparatus, to displace light, medium, or viscous hydrocarbon fluid, which may be contaminated with earthen solids, from the subterranean hydrocarbon reservoir to a hydrocarbon fluid storage tank or other handling facilities on ground surface, by means of oil well production. The method is intended for use in cold primary hydrocarbon production or thermally stimulated hydrocarbon production from vertical, slant, whipstocked, or horizontal oil wells. The production system does not employ moving subsurface mechanical components. | ||||||

| The invention is a method for simulating one or more characteristics of a multi-component, hydrocarbon-bearing formation into which a displacement fluid having at least one component is injected to displace formation hydrocarbons. The first step of the method is to equate at least part of the formation to a multiplicity of gridcells. Each gridcell is then divided into two regions, a first region representing a portion of each gridcell swept by the displacement fluid and a second region representing a portion of each gridcell essentially unswept by the displacement fluid. The distribution of components in each region is assumed to be essentially uniform. A model is constructed that is representative of fluid properties within each region, fluid flow between gridcells using principles of percolation theory, and component transport between the regions. The model is then used in a simulator to simulate one or more characteristics of the formation. | ||||||

| 184 | Dynamic reduction of the moisture layer during the displacement of a viscoelastic fluid using a fluid with lower viscosity | US10484778 | 2002-07-22 | US07201224B2 | 2007-04-10 | Eugenia Corvera-Poire; Mariano Lopez de Haro; Jesus Del Rio Portilla |
| The invention relates to a method of optimizing the displacement of a viscoelastic fluid in a pore, tube, duct, channel, fracture, porous medium or interconnected latticework or in an interconnected assembly of pores, tubes, ducts, channels, cavities and/or fractures using a fluid with a lower viscosity. The inventive method consists in displacing the viscoelastic fluid using a displacing fluid which supplies a signal thereto comprising pressure pulses at an optimum frequency. In this way, the moisture layer between the displaced fluid and the walls of the pores, tubes, channels, cavities, fractures or porous medium is dynamically reduced during said displacement, thereby facilitating optimum extraction. | ||||||

| 188 | Oil recovery using non-cryogenically produced nitrogen and off-gas recycling | US10739975 | 2003-12-18 | US20050133270A1 | 2005-06-23 | Donald Newton; John Jensvold |
| An enhanced oil recovery process includes non-cryogenically generating a relatively inert gas, such as nitrogen, or nitrogen-enriched air, near the site of an oil-bearing formation. The relatively inert gas is injected into the formation, so as to displace oil from the formation. One or more off-gases, also obtained from the formation with the oil, are separated from the oil, compressed, and recycled into the formation. The use of the compressed off-gas therefore reduces the amount of relatively inert gas required, and reduces the required size and energy consumption of the equipment used to produce the inert gas. The invention therefore substantially reduces the cost of an enhanced oil recovery process. | ||||||

| 199 | Method of thermobaric production of hydrocarbons | US15433576 | 2017-02-15 | US10100625B2 | 2018-10-16 | Alexander M. Barak; Anatolii Bazhal |
| A process for the thermobaric production of hydrocarbons from natural reservoirs through conventional wells. The hydrocarbons are converted into corresponding vapor phase fractions in the downhole, through the use of a combination of gasifying agents, heated atmospheric air, and steam—all pumped into the downhole. Temperature and pressure gradients that develop in the reservoir lead to disintegration of low-porosity rock and decompaction of impermeable rock. The vapor phase fractions are recovered at the well head and condensed on-site into high quality liquid and gaseous products. | ||||||

| Methods for servicing a hydrocarbon well using natural gas in a well intervention operation can include preparing a working fluid having a compositiion containing about 10 wt % to 100 wt % of a gas phase natural gas, where the quantity and composition of the natural gas is selected so that under specified well intervention conditions, the natural gas and a liquid phase recovery target material form a mixture in the condensing vapor-gas or vapor-gas part of the mixture's phase envelope. During the well intervention operation and at the specified well intervention conditions, the method can include injecting the working fluid into the well, contacting the working fluid with the liquid phase recovery target material, vaporizing the recovery target material, and forming a homogeneous gas phase well mixture of the recovery target material and natural gas. At least a portion of the homogenous gas phase well mixture can be recovered at surface. | ||||||
