1 NIOR Core plug preparation procedures
2 Introduction Reservoir rock state changed during sampling, mud contamination, storage and cleaning Representative wettability conditions in SCAL and EOR-experiments Water flooding (WF) experiments often reference for EOR flooding experiments Lab experiments? Ingebret Fjelde CorePreparation
3 Gullfaks First Later ROS estimates up to 0.35 and surfactant flooding (SF) extensively studied (Maldal et al. 1998) Sandstone rocks water-wet For several reasons, SF not implemented in the field ROS < 0.20 in high permeability zones of Gullfaks and Statfjord (Maldal et al. 1998) Too high ROS-estimates because original wettability not preserved or restored in experiments or results not correctly scaled (Maldal et al., 1999) Incorrect input from experiments could have led to a costly EOR project, which would not have been approved with correct data Ingebret Fjelde CorePreparation
4 Ingebret Fjelde CorePreparation Ekofisk First Pressure depletion estimate 18 OOIP% Based on experiments, concluded that WF would not improve recovery Later Tor formation Water-wet, confirmed in WF-pilot and implemented (1987) Ekofisk formation Pilots much higher recovery than estimated Increased suspicion against laboratory results (Sylte et al., 1988; Sulak, 1991) Low sulphate concentration as in real FW more water-wet conditions (Fjelde and Asen, 2015) Current recovery estimate 50 %OOIP If first conclusion final, income due to WF would have been lost
5 Objectives Phase 1 Identify critical steps in core preparation procedures and work out proposal for next phases Phase 2 Main objectives 2017 Developing methods to determine whether core plugs are contaminated by mud Investigate oxidation of iron-mineral and effect on wettability Investigate effect of oxygen scavengers (including sequester and buffer) on wettability Ingebret Fjelde CorePreparation
6 Summary Critical steps identified and proposal for next phases worked out (Report IRIS-2015/230 ) Compositions of rock, reservoir fluids and mud system important input to selection of core preparation procedure Mud contamination During preparation, effluent analyses to determine whether core plugs contaminated Difficult to remove mud particles during cleaning Non-destructive methods for determination of cleaning efficiency should be developed Core plugs with mud components that can affect flow properties should ideally not be used Oxidation Wettability of clay altered to less water-wet by low Fe 3+ concentration in FW Ingebret Fjelde CorePreparation
