Course details
Course Description- Water alternating gas (WAG) injection are improved oil recovery methods that involve three-phase fluid flow. It was originally proposed as a method to improve the sweep efficiency of gas by using water to control the mobility ratio and to stabilize the front (Caudle and Dyes, 1958; Christensen et al., 1998).
- WAG injection can lead to improved oil recovery by combining better mobility control and contacting upswept zones, and by leading to improved microscopic displacement.
- WAG flooding has been successfully applied to more than 60 oilfields worldwide.
- This course will present WAG Miscible, WAG Immiscible, WAG alternating different types of Hydrocarbon Gases and Non-HC such as N2 and CO2 Gases.
- Also, the course will present and study the Factors Influencing Wag Process Design such as Fluid properties and rock-fluid, Availability and composition of injection gas, Heterogeneous Permeability, Injection Pattern, Capillary pressure, Relative permeability and Wettability.
- A WAG Process is presented and discussed in the course as well as Field cases and Laboratory research cases and results.
- Comparative of EOR methods and use of Waterflooding
- Study of the EOR Mechanism in Chemical and Miscible and WAG Methods
- EOR Screening Criteria and technical constrains for Chemical and WAG methods.
- Study of an actual case WAG Miscible and WAG immiscible processes
- Comparison between WAG Alternating and Continue Injection Gas
- Technically Review and Study of the Factors Influencing WAG Process Design (Fluid properties and rock-fluid, Availability and composition of injection gas, Heterogeneous Permeability, Injection Pattern, Capillary pressure, Relative permeability, and Wettability)
- Perform an Analysis of the Water-Alternating-Gas (WAG) Process
- Technically review and practice of the Effect of capillary number and mobility ratio on residual oil recover
- A comparative study of FIELD CASE AND LABORATORY CASE OF WAG and SWAG.
- Miscibility Concepts and Mathematical Background review
- Discussion of “The Need for Miscibility Development ”
- Effect of Brine Composition
- Importance of CO2 as Injectant Gas
- Problems Associated with the WAG Process
- The impact of the following parameters on WAG processes:
- WAG ratio
- Injection pattern
- Injection / production pressure and rates
- WAG cycle time
- Time to Initiate WAG process
- Presentation and discussion of technical information on Chemical Flooding:
- Objectives of Chemical Flooding
- Chemical EOR Screening Criteria
- Processes Evaluations
- Chemical success evaluation with WAG using CO2 Immiscible Processes
