Nowadays, one of the more perspective technologies for oil recovery increase in the fields with heavy oils is formation of intrastratal emulsion. The paper presents the research on the increase of oil recovery in the fields with heavy oil via injection of combined composition based on the viscosity minimizer and surface active agent. Obtained composition allows significantly increase the stability of intrastratal emulsion, dramatically reducing the values of surface tension in the border of oil/water. The analysis of synergetic efficiency for suggested composition on the emulsion stability, surface tension and rheological properties has been carried out. More efficient concentrations of composition components have been specified. Obtained results have been justified with experiments on the replacement of high viscous oil from Galmaz field on the sand packed tubes of reservoir.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
