A New Method of Thermal Extraction of Hard Oil Is Proposed
Water can be converted into steam at the bottom of an oil well for long–range delivery. Anatoly Zamri, General Director of the Intersectoral Expert and Analytical Center at the Union of Oil and Gas Industrialists of Russia, proposed a way to increase the efficiency of thermal methods in the extraction …
A Way Has Been Found to Improve the Oil Recovery of the Bazhenov Formation
To do this, KFU has created a model that allows evaluating the effectiveness of catalysis. Scientists at Kazan Federal University are optimizing the technology of using supercritical water to increase oil recovery using a kinetic model. The proposed model makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of catalytic additives. The …
A New Way Has Been Found to Increase Oil Recovery Factor During Reservoir Flooding
Scientists from Kazan Federal University have obtained new results in the field of physical and chemical hydrodynamics. They studied the effects of surface tension and contact angle on the adsorbed amount of surfactants. The Devon News Agency was informed about this by the press service of the Institute of Geology …
Tatneft Geodetic System Has Become Self-Learning
Modernization will make it possible to record the weakest local vibrations of the subsoil at the noise level, and also to more efficiently develop the Romashkinskoye field. Tatneft has modernized a special-purpose geodetic network with the help of scientists from Kazan Federal University. It uses artificial intelligence and machine learning …
The Effectiveness of In-Situ Combustion is Proven For Shale Oil Production in Oman
The method for this type of UVS has been adapted and experimentally tested at the Kazan Federal University. For the first time, the efficiency of oil shale development in the low-permeability reservoirs of the Natih B field in Oman has been proven. For this, the method of in-situ combustion was …
Digital Modelling will Help in the Underground Processing of Heavy Oil
A software package has been developed to predict the absorption of catalysts during oil displacement. Kazan Federal University has developed a program for modeling the dynamic adsorption of water-soluble catalysts during oil displacement in digital cores. This is important for predicting the efficiency of in-situ processing of high-viscosity and extra-viscous …
