Phase Behaviour and Compositional Changes Associated With Residual Oxygen in a Miscible CO/Light Oil Reservoir
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Abstract Concern about the effects of global green house gases has made people aware of the need to reduce the atmospheric concentration of industrial waste gas. Alberta, as the center of Canada's petroleum industry is strongly impacted by the politics of green house gases. One way Alberta can achieve the goals of the Kyoto Agreement is to capture the CO2 from the stack gases and to inject it into oil reservoirs to enhance recovery while sequestering at least a portion of the CO2. Previously, fundamentals for CO2 flooding in the light and heavy oils have been widely discussed. This paper will concentrate on oil from the Swan Hills reservoirs of Devon Oil Corporation. Injection of CO2 into this type of reservoir has theoretical potential as CO2 enhances recovery through mechanisms such as oil viscosity reduction, swelling of the oil, vaporization of the oil, reduction of interfacial tension and solution-gas drive during blow-down. These effects are most significant at low temperatures. The phase behavior of different concentrations of CO2-O2 mixtures injected into a light oil reservoir was investigated. Two PVT (Pressure-Volume-Temperature) apparatus were used to visually observe phases and to determine bubble points and swelling of the oil rich phase. The PVT measurements were performed to develop a basic understanding of the phase behavior for the CO2/O2/oil system. The composition of oxidized oil was predicted using a previously developed low temperature oxidation reaction model coupled with phase equilibrium calculations. Introduction Carbon dioxide flooding is a well-established enhanced oil recovery process in regions where CO2 is available. Canada has been slow to implement CO2 floods due to the lack of natural sources; however the public's concern with greenhouse gas emissions and Canada's support of the Kyoto Agreement should provide sufficient volumes of CO2 and environmental incentives to allow for the application of CO2 flooding as a combined EOR/sequestration process. Capturing the CO2 from stack gas is an expensive process and the actual cost will depend on the purity of the CO2 stream that is required. Oxygen is an important impurity as it can modify the native oil properties through low temperature oxidation reactions, promote corrosion in the injection and production piping, and alter the phase behavior of the reservoir fluids. The study from which the work described in this paper originated will examine how oxygen is consumed in the reservoir and will concentrate on the impact of oxidation reactions with regard to the composition and emulsification characteristics of the oil. Lee et al. [9]studied the phase behavior and displacement efficiency of a carbon dioxide-hydrocarbon system which consisted of various mixtures of n-pentane/n-hexane. The results demonstrated that multiple phase behavior involving 2 liquids with and without a vapor phase occurred during carbon dioxide injection in low temperature reservoirs. A number of studies on effectiveness of carbon dioxide displacement under miscible and immiscible conditions have been reported (Rathmell et al.[14], Wilburn et al.[22], Dyer et al.[4], Srivastava and Huang[16,17,18]). The results show that CO2/oil miscibility could be developed and that the swelling behavior depended on the chemical composition of the oil.
