چکیده انگلیسی
As the demand for crude oil increases, the oil-producing countries try to increase production. Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques play a significant role in improving oil production. Improved or smart water injection, among the methods, has higher performance due to its low cost. Carbonated smart water is injected to improve smart water capabilities. Dissolution of carbon dioxide in water will change chemical properties of the injected water to facilitate wettability alteration from hydrophobic to hydrophilic more effectively. Besides, it causes swelling and changes of oil density and viscosity by transferring from the aqueous phase to the oil phase. Adding CO2 to the smart solution can have other effects, expressed as dissolution and carbonate rock weight alteration, in addition to the wettability alteration on carbonate rock. In this communication, NaCl, KCl, Kl, MgCl2, CaCl2, Na2SO4, MgSO4, and K2SO4 were used to produce smart water, and CO2 gas was utilized to carbonate the water. Observational/visual and contact angle tests were then carried out to express wettability alteration of carbonate rock with smart water and carbonated smart water. These observational tests clearly indicate the wettability alteration property of injected materials. Carbonated smart water exposed to rock analysis shows that Mg2 + ion was higher in comparison with Ca2 + rate in tested carbonate rock. Finally, by conducting tests on oil production imbibitions, we show that the smart water while utilizing the provided mechanism is capable of improving the oil production in contrast to imbibitions with normal water, such that the imbibitions with smart water increases the production 33% more in contrast to production with initial formation water.
