Effect of solvent type on emulsion formation in steam and solvent-steam flooding processes for heavy oil recovery
2021, Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects
Citation Excerpt :
Lastly, the effect of the polarity of asphaltenes in the presence of hydrocarbon solvents and water has been quantified through dielectric constant measurements using a cylindrical capacitor [35]. The theoretical dielectric constant values for mixtures of asphaltenes, DAO (deasphalted oil), with hydrocarbon solvents in the presence and absence of water is measured through summation of volumetric contribution of dielectric constant values of individual components [36], given by the following equation:εmix theoretical = Ʃεiƴiwhere, εmix theoretical = Theoretical dielectric constant of mixture εi = Theoretical dielectric constant of component i
In this study, a series of steam and solvent-steam flooding experiments are conducted to study the produced oil quality in terms of water-oil emulsions. A set of seven experiments are performed, beginning with steam flooding, and solvent-steam flooding using propane, n-butane, n-pentane, n-hexane, and n-heptane as paraffinic solvents that are insoluble in asphaltenes, and toluene, which is a polar solvent soluble in asphaltenes. Co-injection of solvents along with steam improves the cumulative oil recovery and produced oil quality by promoting less water migration into the bulk oil phase, hence reducing water-asphaltenes polar interactions. Asphaltene content in the produced oil and the displaced residual oil is found to generally increase with increasing carbon number of paraffinic solvent. Hexane is found to be the most effective hydrocarbon solvent in solvent-steam flooding for bitumen recovery, with optimum amount of asphaltene content and dispersion in produced oil, and minimum amount of water trapped in the oil phase, hence alleviating emulsion complexity. This is a first attempt to assess the efficiency of a wide range of solvent-steam flooding performances in terms of obtained oil emulsion quality, which will be very influential for field applications in selecting a solvent for a particular reservoir.
Characterization of complex permittivity for consolidated core samples by utilization of mixing rules
2019, Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering
Candidacy of any reservoir as a microwave absorber is predicated on the complex permittivity of the sample. Modeling both the penetration and absorption dynamics of the electromagnetic wave in the reservoir is dependent on realistic estimation of this parameter. Therefore, it becomes necessary to understand the inherent intricacies of complex permittivity in the reservoir. Reservoirs are comprised of both a void space represented by the porosity parameter as well as the rock matrix and can be treated as a binary mixture of the two. Mixing rules can then be introduced and have been shown to be a viable means of estimating the dielectric response. The behavior of the bulk material is considered to be an extension of the isolated contribution of the separate parts. Therefore, by characterizing the response of the individual components of the mixture, the overall response can be estimated. Utilization of mixing rules enables efficient estimation of the dielectric properties anywhere in the reservoir as a function of the rock matrix, fluid saturation, and porosity. The absorptive capacity of the reservoir can then be described which is used to screen the efficacy of the material for microwave introduction. Both the real and imaginary components of complex permittivity are measured on nine consolidated core samples of varying lithology and fluid saturation over the frequency range of 400 MHz to 6 GHz. Experimental data is compared to various mixing rules commonly implemented to determine validity and viability of the estimation of complex permittivity for consolidated samples.
Optical properties of non-dilute metal-insulator composites

For many decades the structure–property relationship in composite materials has been sought by researchers in various fields, e.g., physics, materials science, geophysics, pharmaceutics, biology, etc., in order to comprehend the nature of material mixtures. Such a deep understanding would be of great value for calculating either the dielectric constant of a mixture of substances of known dielectric permittivities or, knowing the dielectric permittivities of a mixture of two components and that of one of the components, to calculate the dielectric permittivity of the other [1], or even knowing the dielectric permittivities of a mixture and those of the components to estimate the morphology of the mixture [2,3]. Consequently concepts like fractal geometry and morphology of dense mixtures can be studied by investigating their frequency dependent electrical and optical properties.
The description of the optical properties of metal–insulator composites in the non-dilute region is a long standing problem. In this letter we extract the spectral density function of cobalt–amorphous aluminum oxide composites from optical and near-infrared data. The spectral functions are accurately computed numerically with the help of a recently developed technique. It is observed that the spectral features of the prepared composites change with increasing cobalt content. For low concentrations of cobalt, only one depolarization peak is found that corresponds to the Maxwell Garnett approximation. For concentrations higher than 11% cobalt, three effective depolarization factors are resolved that move towards low spectral parameter values with increasing cobalt content. Such a multi-peak structure arises naturally in fractal equivalent circuit models for the optical properties. A comparison with a deterministic fractal model is presented to illustrate the strength of the spectral density representation and to better comprehend our results. We conclude that the observed behavior gives important information on the relation of the optical characteristics to the composite micro-structure.
