Experimental Study of Rheological Properties and Oil Displacement Efficiency in Oilfields for a Synthetic Hydrophobically Modified Polymer.

ABSTRACT: In a previous study, we developed a synthetic hydrophobically modified hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) using bromododecane (BD), which we denote as BD-HMHEC. In this work, we continually investigate the rheological properties and its oil displacement efficiency in PuTao well area in Daqing oilfields, China. Results show that BD-HMHEC solution has good viscosification, thermal-resistance, salt-tolerance, shear resistance, and acid/alkali resistance. The storage modulus (G') and the loose modulus (G") of the BD-HMHEC solutions increase significantly with increasing BD-HMHEC concentration, and the solution becomes viscoelastic at a sufficiently high BD-HMHEC concentration. The core flooding results showed BD-HMHEC flooding improves oil recovery by 7-14% in comparison with HEC flooding at concentrations of 4,000 mg/L under equivalent conditions. Moreover, BD-HMHEC flooding improves oil recovery by 7-8% after conducting water and hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) flooding. The oil displacement mechanism of BD-HMHEC solutions is discussed based on a visual evaluation. The results indicate that BD-HMHEC flooding is a feasible means for improving oil recovery after water/HPAM flooding.

The Reservoir Adaptability and Oil Displacement Mechanism of Polymer Microspheres.

Project description:Polymer microsphere profile control is a promising approach for the profile control of heterogeneous reservoirs. Matching between polymer microspheres and the reservoir pore throat is crucial for profile control. In this study, the range of the optimal matching factor Ra between polymer microspheres and core porosity was divided through core permeability limit experiments, and the dynamic migration laws and shut-off patterns of microspheres were studied using 9-m-long cores and microscopic models. The oil displacement effect and mechanism of microspheres were analyzed using three cores in parallel. The "injectability limit" and "in-depth migration limit" curves were divided by Ra into three zones: blockage (Ra < 1.09 ± 0.10), near-well profile control (1.09 ± 0.10 < Ra < 5.70 ± 0.64), and in-depth fluid diversion (Ra > 5.70 ± 0.64). During migration in porous media, the microspheres gradually enlarged in size and thus successively shut off in four forms: multi-microsphere bridging shut-off, few-microsphere bridging shut-off, single-microsphere shut-off, and elastic shut-off. Microspheres with a rational combination of sizes versus those with a single particle size further enhanced reservoir oil recovery under certain reservoir conditions. Through "temporary shut-off-breakthrough-temporary shut-off," the polymer microspheres were able to change the fluid flow rate and streamlines, mobilize residual oils, and enhance the oil recovery rates.

A study on the rheological properties of recycled rubber-modified asphalt mixtures.

Project description:Using waste rubber in asphalt mixes has become a common practice in road construction. This paper presents the results of a study on the rheological characteristics of rubber-modified asphalt (RMA) concrete under static and dynamic loading conditions. A number of static and dynamic creep tests were conducted on RMA mix specimens with different rubber sizes and contents, and a series of resonant column tests were conducted to evaluate the shear modulus and damping values. To simulate the stress-strain response of traffic-induced loading, the measurements were taken for different confining pressures and strain levels. The results of the study indicated that rubber modification increases stiffness and damping ratio, making it a very attractive material for use in road construction. However the grain size of the rubber is very important. Although RMA may cost up to 100% more than regular asphalt, the advantages it brings, such as an increased service life of the road and proper waste utilization contributing to a more sustainable infrastructure, may justify the added cost.

Rheological Properties of Fish Gelatin Modified with Sodium Alginate.

Project description:Polyelectrolyte complexes of sodium alginate and gelatin obtained from cold-blooded fish were studied for potential application as structure-forming agents in food hydrogels. The mass ratio of sodium alginate to gelatin plays a decisive role in the sol-gel transition and rheological behavior of the complexes. Differences in the sol-gel transition temperature were observed upon heating and cooling, as is typical for such materials. We investigated the characteristics of this transition by measuring the isothermal changes in the elastic modulus over time at a constant frequency and the transition temperature at a range of frequencies. The kinetic nature of this transition depends on the composition of the complexes. A characteristic alginate-gelatin mass ratio is the ratio at which maximum transition temperature as well as elastic modulus and viscosity (rheological parameters) values are obtained; the characteristic mass ratio for these complexes was found to be 0.06. Calculation of the ionic group ratios in the biopolymers that form complexes and comparison of these data with the turbidimetric titration results clarified the origin of these maxima. Measuring the viscoelastic properties and the creep-elastic recoil of the samples allowed us to characterize these materials as viscoelastic media with a viscosity in the order of 103-104 Pa·s and an elastic modulus in the order of 102-103 Pa. These values drastically decrease at a certain stress threshold, which can be treated as the gel strength limit. Therefore, the observed rheological behavior of gels formed by fish gelatin modified with sodium alginate characterizes them as typical viscoelastic soft matter.

A Novel Experimental Study on the Rheological Properties and Thermal Conductivity of Halloysite Nanofluids.

Project description:Nanofluids obtained from halloysite and de-ionized water (DI) were prepared by using surfactants and changing pH for heat-transfer applications. The halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) nanofluids were studied for several volume fractions (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 vol%) and temperatures (20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 °C). The properties of HNTs were studied with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetry/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA). The stability of the nanofluids was proven by zeta potentials measurements and visual observation. With surfactants, the HNT nanofluids had the highest thermal conductivity increment of 18.30% for 1.5 vol% concentration in comparison with the base fluid. The thermal conductivity enhancement of nanofluids containing surfactant was slightly higher than nanofluids with pH = 12. The prepared nanofluids were Newtonian. The viscosity enhancements of the nanofluid were 11% and 12.8% at 30 °C for 0.5% volume concentration with surfactants and at pH = 12, respectively. Empirical correlations of viscosity and thermal conductivity for these nanofluids were proposed for practical applications.

Hybrid Polymerisation: An Exploratory Study of the Chemo-Mechanical and Rheological Properties of Hybrid-Modified Bitumen.

Project description:In this study, the mechanical and rheological properties of hybrid polymer-modified bitumen (PMB) have been investigated. For this purpose, nine different polymers-including crumb rubber, elastomers and plastomers at varying content-were studied to evaluate their mechanical performance as single polymers, first, and as a combination of two or more polymers as a hybrid polymer blend. Subsequently, the hybrid polymer blends were added in a relatively small percentage into the base bitumen to study its influence on the rheological performance of hybrid PMB. The mechanical properties identified from the analysis of the stress-strain curve of the single polymers were the Young's Modulus, tensile stress, and elongation at break. The chemical structure of the polymer hybrid blends was analysed using FTIR, followed by frequency sweep tests conducted using the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) to determine the bitumen rheological properties. Results showed that hybrid PMB enhances the viscoelastic behaviour of bitumen at both low and high temperature compared to other PMBs only including single polymers.

Experimental dataset of enhanced rheological properties and lubricity of Nigerian bentonite mud using kelzan® xcd polymer and identifying it optimal combination.

Project description:The experimental dataset in this article are for improved rheological properties and lubricity of Nigerian bentonite mud using Kelzan® xcd polymer and identifying it optimal combination. For this study, water base mud was formulated using a Nigerian bentonite and a statistical based method was used to analyze the rheological and lubricity properties of the drilling fluid, when enhanced with kelzan® xcd polymer. The significant and interaction level of these factors were closely observed on the mud properties test that were conducted. The use of response surface design was engaged to analyze the influence of bentonite quantity and the quantity of kelzan® xcd polymer on the lubricity and rheological properties of the mud. Minitab 17 (Minitab Inc. USA) was used for the response surface design. The p-values were used to determine which of the factors in the model are statistically significant, which was compared to ?-level (0.05). The p-values for the quantity of kelzan® xcd polymer are 0, 0, and 0.007 for Apparent viscosity (cp), Yield point (Ib/100?ft^2), Plastic viscosity (cp) respectively. All these values are lesser than the ?-level (0.05), which means that the effect of kelzan® xcd polymer is significant on the model. While the effect of Bentonite content and the interaction between Bentonite content and kelzan® xcd polymer are insignificant because their p-values are higher than the -level (0.05).

A Synthetic Bioinspired Carbohydrate Polymer with Mucoadhesive Properties.

Project description:Mucoadhesive polymers are of significant interest to the pharmaceutical, medical device, and cosmetic industries. Polysaccharides possessing charged functional groups, such as chitosan, are known for mucoadhesive properties but suffer from poor chemical definition and solubility, while the chemical synthesis of polysaccharides is challenging with few reported examples of synthetic carbohydrate polymers with engineered-in ionic functionality. We report the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a synthetic, cationic, enantiopure carbohydrate polymer inspired by the structure of chitosan. These water-soluble, cytocompatible polymers are prepared via an anionic ring-opening polymerization of a bicyclic β-lactam sugar monomer. The synthetic method provides control over the site of amine functionalization and the length of the polymer while providing narrow dispersities. These well-defined polymers are mucoadhesive as documented in single-molecule scale (AFM), bulk solution phase (FRAP), and ex vivo tissue experiments. Polymer length and functionality affects bioactivity as long, charged polymers display higher mucoadhesivity than long, neutral polymers or short, charged polymers.

Comparative Study on Enhancing Oil Recovery under High Temperature and High Salinity: Polysaccharides Versus Synthetic Polymer.

Project description:The synthetic water-soluble polymer, partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), has been most widely used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR); however, its poor thermal stability and weak salt tolerance impede further application in high-temperature and high-salinity oil reservoirs. To address such deficiencies, three polysaccharides, xanthan gum, diutan gum, and scleroglucan, were examined in comparison with HPAM on rheological behaviors, shearing resistance, long-term thermal stability, and core flooding test. It was found that all of these three polysaccharides were less sensitive to salinity and shearing time, while HPAM showed a monotonous decrease in viscosity with increasing monovalent cations and shearing history. After 90 days of aging at 85 °C and 10.1 × 104 mg·L-1 of total dissolved solids with 1.0 × 103 mg·L-1 of Ca2+, the viscosity of diutan gum and scleroglucan solutions nearly remained unchanged; on the contrary, the viscosity of xanthan gum and HPAM solutions drops massively. Core flooding tests at 85 °C with the same initial viscosity demonstrated that all polymers showed good transportation in porous media, and 16, 13, and 11% of oil recovery were obtained by diutan gum, scleroglucan, and xanthan gum, respectively, while only 10% was obtained from HPAM. These comparative results may underpin the potential of diutan gum and scleroglucan to be used in the EOR process in HTHS oil reservoirs.
