5 Hybrid Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery Techniques:
A Simulation Study terms
A research paper from the Journal Symmetry from 2020 which illustrates its results from a simulative study on hybrid chemical enhanced oil recovery.
Conformance
Action in accordance with some specified standard or authority
Example: The gel particle conformance control is considered in the developed
model after polymer flooding performances on the oil recovery enhancement. (H. Zhou and A. Davarpanah, “Hybrid Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery Techniques: A Simulation Study,” Symmetry, vol. 12, no. 7, p. 1086, Jul. 2020, doi: 10.3390/sym12071086.)
Flooding
In oil and gas industry: Flooding is the process of injecting water or chemicals into a reservoir to increase the production of oil and gas.
Example: To improve the sweep efficiency of the reservoir after polymer flooding, the following steps are done. (H. Zhou and A. Davarpanah, “Hybrid Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery Techniques: A Simulation Study,” Symmetry, vol. 12, no. 7, p. 1086, Jul. 2020, doi: 10.3390/sym12071086.)
Optimize
To make as perfect, effective, or functional as possible
Example: They optimize the combination of injectivity performances by performing a
different set of experiments to ensure the proposed method would be economical. (H. Zhou and A. Davarpanah, “Hybrid Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery Techniques: A Simulation Study,” Symmetry, vol. 12, no. 7, p. 1086, Jul. 2020, doi: 10.3390/sym12071086.)
Polymer
A chemical compound or mixture of compounds formed by long chain connection of molecules and consisting essentially of repeating structural units
Example: Oil recovery enhancement has been widely investigated as a preferable enhanced oil recovery
technique after the polymer flooding. (H. Zhou and A. Davarpanah, “Hybrid Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery Techniques: A Simulation Study,” Symmetry, vol. 12, no. 7, p. 1086, Jul. 2020, doi: 10.3390/sym12071086.)
Surfactant
A surface-active substance (such as a detergent)
Example: Simultaneous utilization of surfactant and preformed particle gel flooding
on the oil recovery enhancement has been widely investigated. (H. Zhou and A. Davarpanah, “Hybrid Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery Techniques: A Simulation Study,” Symmetry, vol. 12, no. 7, p. 1086, Jul. 2020, doi: 10.3390/sym12071086.)
