Produced water from carbonate reservoir can be reinjected into the formation to stimulate hydrocarbon production in aging wells. This is known as water injection or water flooding. This is the most economically friendly method of produced water disposal. In this paper, a laboratory approach to compare and evaluate the efficiency of formation and sea water injection for enhancing oil recovery at room condition in carbonate reservoirs. The main objective of this paper to achieve the maximum oil recovery for the limestone rock by using formation and sea water. This study was conducted using several samples of limestone rock saturated with oil by placing them in the reservoir conditions by placing them in a vacuum oven to ensure complete saturation of the samples with oil and then extracting the oil from them using liquid permeability where the samples are injected by formation and sea water. The oil recovery by formation water injection is range from 26.4 % to 47 %. The oil recovery by sea water injection is range from 0.00 % to 10 %. The oil recovery factor for formation water injection is higher than the oil recovery factor for sea water injection.
Abstract
Produced water from carbonate reservoir can be reinjected into the formation to stimulate hydrocarbon production in aging wells. This is known as water injection or water flooding. This is the most economically friendly method of produced water disposal. In this paper, a laboratory approach to compare and evaluate the efficiency of formation and sea water injection for enhancing oil recovery at room condition in carbonate reservoirs. The main objective of this paper to achieve the maximum oil recovery for the limestone rock by using formation and sea water. This study was conducted using several samples of limestone rock saturated with oil by placing them in the reservoir conditions by placing them in a vacuum oven to ensure complete saturation of the samples with oil and then extracting the oil from them using liquid permeability where the samples are injected by formation and sea water. The oil recovery by formation water injection is range from 26.4 % to 47 %. The oil recovery by sea water injection is range from 0.00 % to 10 %. The oil recovery factor for formation water injection is higher than the oil recovery factor for sea water injection.
