By increasing in the use of nonrenewable energy and decreasing in discovering hydrocarbonic reservoirs, in near future the world will encounter with a new challenge in the field of energy, so increase in recovery factor of the existing oil reservoirs is necessary after the primary production. In one hand the existence of untouched heavy oil reservoirs in Iran and lack of producing from them and maturity of light oil reservoirs to 2nd and 3rd stage of their production age in other hand make the development and production of these heavy oil reservoirs necessary in Iran. The goal of this study is to survey common methods of producing oil reservoirs and appliance in heavy oil reservoirs of Iran especially in Kuh-e-Mond. For choosing the best EOR method we should consider factors such as the reservoir fluid and rock characteristics, availability of injection material, available equipments and other items. One way to choose an optimized method is the comparison of reservoirs' parameters in successful EOR projects with the considered reservoir. However, it should be consider that each reservoir has its especial characteristics and we can not give certain idea about it. Thermal methods have the most useage in the recovery of the world's heavy oil and between these methods; steam injection with the most amount of oil production has terrific importance. The gained results show that the best way for recovery heavy oil of Sarvak reservoir of Kuh-e-Mond is thermal way and especially steam injection Steam modeling by activating gravity drainage drive process by using steam injection (SAGD) which is designed in a reservoir model in Sarvak reservoir of Kuh-e-Mond has been successful.
The purpose of the present study was to explore the effect of drill bit selection parameters on enhanced oil and gas recovery fin Iranian oil and gas fields. In this study, many methods and parameters were discussed. These parameters are practically tested on many wells in southwestern field of Iran. Out of common drill bit selection methods, length unit drilling cost is the most popular one owing to the direct investigation of economic parameters related to the performance of the drill bit. However, previous studies conducted in one of the southern gas fields of Iran showed that this method's results do not yield the optimal drill selection and geology since it fails to evaluate drill bits used in various drilling conditions. To address this problem, some methods have been introduced as complementary of this method which allow comparing various drill bits. In the present work, it was illustrated that using geo-mechanical factors are ideal complements for the method of length unit drilling cost in Iran.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
