A constant gas-oil
ratio equal to gas solubility at bubble point pressure is typical of
this drive mechanism. A small percentage of total oil in place is
recovered due to the less efficiency of this drive.
Other recovery
methods like Secondary and tertiary (Enhanced) recovery methods are
employed to help improve the recovery of the remaining hydrocarbons by
providing additional or sustaining the energy. The efficiency of an
enhanced recovery method is a measure of its ability to provide greater
hydrocarbon recovery than by natural depletion at economically
attractive production rate (Marcel et al. 1980). It depends on reservoir
characteristics and nature of displacing and displaced fluids. Enhanced
recovery methods seeks to improve the sweep and displacement
efficiency. It has been basically grouped into three types; namely
chemical processes, miscible displacement processes and thermal
processes.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]New sources of energy should be found to relieve the high demand of energy. Even though heavy oil and bitumen are difficult to produce due to their high viscosity which can be reduced by heating, with increased oil price, the production of these heavy oils are seen viable thus the need for a model that would help make predictions for the future and also take into consideration areal and vertical sweep of hydrocarbons (3D simulator). The ability to be able to optimize the interaction data and dec ... Continue reading---
