5 A Laboratory Approach on the Hybrid-Enhanced Oil Recovery Techniques with Different Saline Brines in Sandstone Reservoirs. terms
A paper on hybrid enhanced oil recovery technique published in the journal called Processes in 2020. Deals with laboratory experimentation of different saline brine samples and their effect on sandstone reservoirs.
Cumulative
Increasing by successive additions : Made up of accumulated parts
Example: cumulative oil production has the maximum value. (Y. Hu, Q. Cheng, J. Yang, L. Zhang, and A. Davarpanah, “A Laboratory Approach on the Hybrid-Enhanced Oil Recovery Techniques with Different Saline Brines in Sandstone Reservoirs,” Processes, vol. 8, no. 9, p. 1051, Aug. 2020, doi: 10.3390/pr8091051.)
Permeability
The quality or state of being permeable : The intrinsic property of certain material to allow the passage of fluids through their structural matrix
Example: After foam injection as it had mobilized more in the high permeable zones and,
therefore, large volumes of oil would be trapped in the small permeable zones. (Y. Hu, Q. Cheng, J. Yang, L. Zhang, and A. Davarpanah, “A Laboratory Approach on the Hybrid-Enhanced Oil Recovery Techniques with Different Saline Brines in Sandstone Reservoirs,” Processes, vol. 8, no. 9, p. 1051, Aug. 2020, doi: 10.3390/pr8091051.)
Reservoir
In oil and gas industry, the Reservoir is the subsurface rock formation or strata which hold crude oil and natural gas.
Example: They concluded that reservoir characteristics such as porosity and
permeability have affected carbon dioxide transport. (Y. Hu, Q. Cheng, J. Yang, L. Zhang, and A. Davarpanah, “A Laboratory Approach on the Hybrid-Enhanced Oil Recovery Techniques with Different Saline Brines in Sandstone Reservoirs,” Processes, vol. 8, no. 9, p. 1051, Aug. 2020, doi: 10.3390/pr8091051.)
Sandstone
A sedimentary rock consisting of usually quartz sand united by some cement (such as silica or calcium carbonate)
Example: Foam flooding have provided the highest cumulative oil production in sandstone
reservoirs. (Y. Hu, Q. Cheng, J. Yang, L. Zhang, and A. Davarpanah, “A Laboratory Approach on the Hybrid-Enhanced Oil Recovery Techniques with Different Saline Brines in Sandstone Reservoirs,” Processes, vol. 8, no. 9, p. 1051, Aug. 2020, doi: 10.3390/pr8091051.)
Wettability
the degree to which something can be wet
: in geological regards - the inherent property of materials that allows fluids to adhere to their surface with varying degrees of strength
Example: Nell (2015) proposed that oil presence and rock wettability would play a substantial role in the
foam flooding performances. (Y. Hu, Q. Cheng, J. Yang, L. Zhang, and A. Davarpanah, “A Laboratory Approach on the Hybrid-Enhanced Oil Recovery Techniques with Different Saline Brines in Sandstone Reservoirs,” Processes, vol. 8, no. 9, p. 1051, Aug. 2020, doi: 10.3390/pr8091051)
