| Summary |
"Estimates of oil recovery in secondary or enhanced recovery projects require a knowledge of the flow characteristics of the oil and injected fluids within the reservoir. This information is generally obtained in the form of relative permeability measurements. Two phase relative permeability measurements of representative core samples from a heavy oil reservoir in western Missouri have been performed using the steady state method of determination. Relative permeability data for this area has not previously been determined. Tests were made at temperatures representative of normal reservoir conditions and conditions of thermal recovery. Basic relative permeability measurements using kerosene and water at 75° F remained unaffected by increased temperature to 300° F, high viscosity ratio using 'native' crude oil, or the addition of light concentrations of chemical surfactants. An average two phase relative permeability curve was established for the reservoir which can be used in predictions for future heavy oil recovery projects in the area"--Abstract, leaf iii. |
