Plastic vs. Liquid Scintillation for C radiotracers determination in high salt matrices

The use of radiotracers is a common procedure for better understanding of the dynamics of oil reservoirs. Several molecules and radionuclides are implemented for this purpose; one of these is ¹⁴C labelled thiocyanate.Samples taken from fluids in production wells require a pre-treatment step in order to purify and concentrate the activity of the radiotracer before measurement. Pre-treatment is based on ionic exchange and the solution eluted includes a high concentration of salt that can be a serious drawback for the development of a stable emulsion when the liquid sample and the scintillation cocktail are mixed for Liquid Scintillation (LS).The objective of this study is to evaluate the capability of Plastic Scintillation (PS) to determine the activity of radiotracers in salt matrices.For this purpose, an initial comparative study of the influence of salt and coloured matrices on the detection efficiency for PS and LS was performed. Results indicate that in both techniques colour quenching produces the same effects: efficiency decrease and spectra shift, whereas salt quenching produces different effects for PS and LS, ionization quenching for PS and chemical quenching for LS. As a result of this divergence, the calibration required for each counting method is different: two steps for PS and a single step for LS.After system study and procedure optimization, radiotracer activities in real samples taken from oil reservoirs have been determined. The results indicated that PS shows similar capability to the classical LS to determine the activity in these salt matrix samples with the additional advantages that no separation of the phase can appear and no mixed waste is produced after measurement.     

Oil Decontamination of Bottom Sediments: Past,Present and Future

Experimental trial and manufacturing application of technologies and devices for purification of water bodies from oil and petroleum products are developed at the premises of Biological Institute of National Research Tomsk State University. More attention is paid to treatment of bottom sediments from oil and petroleum products. As a result of oil contamination, bottom sediments of some water bodies are covered with continuous layer of oil, and water bodies have lost their commercial fishing importance. In 2004-2006 for the first time scientists of National Research Tomsk State University and scientific technical association “Priborservice” conducted experimental trial of treatment bottom sediments technologies from oil on the arctic water bodies of Komi Republic and flood bypass conduits of Yugra (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area) to obtain unique results of experimental tests of technologies and equipment.     

High-molar mass acrylamide-co-diacetoneacrylamide graft copolymers as viscosity enhancer for polymer flooding oil recovery

One of the most widely applied enhanced oil recovery processes is the polymer flooding, in which aqueous solution of polymer viscosifier is introduced in oil reservoirs to increase the recuperation of the remaining oil. From the current challenges of this process, it can be referred to a high cost of materials regarding their substantially required amount and the low impact on the mobility ratio during the process due to the reduction of solution viscosity at high temperatures and high salinity environments. The purpose of this study is to investigate the concept of acrylamide-based thermosassociating copolymer (TAP), with a specific morphology and chemistry (hydrophilic main backbone made of polyacrylamide with grafted amide functionalized pending chains) as viscosity enhancer at harsh conditions of high temperature and salinity. For that aim, a specific TAP microstructure was targeted (very high molar mass linear polymer chains with improved copolymer homogeneity). It is achieved in this study throughout applying the reaction engineering approach, such as synthesis in semi-batch mode or/and in heterogeneous dispersed media. As a result, the synthesized TAP presented excellent behavior as viscosity enhancer especially under high temperature and salinity conditions with improved performance in comparison to TAP synthesized by a conventional solution polymerization approach and to actual commercial high molar mass acrylamide-based polymer.     

On the nonequilibrium segregation state of a two-phase mixture in a porous column

The problem of segregation of a two-phase multicomponent mixture under the action of thermal gradient, gravity and capillary forces is studied with respect to component distribution in a thick oil-gas-condensate reservoir. Governing equations are derived on the basis of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. A steady state of the two-phase mixture with nonzero diffusion fluxes and exchange between phases is described. In the case of binary mixtures analytical formulae for saturation, component distribution and flow in the two-phase zone are obtained.     

Aspects of geothermal well test analysis in fractured reservoirs

Several numerical experiments comparing the response of a fractured geothermal reservoir with that of a uniform reservoir are reported. A constant rate drawdown test followed by a buildup test is investigated for both an initially two-phase reservoir and an initially liquid reservoir which flashes during the test. Also, cold water injection into a two-phase reservoir is considered. In all cases the fracturing of the reservoir significantly changes the results for the uniform reservoir, and makes interpretation of the well test results more difficult.

Decoherence of odd compass states in the phase-sensitive amplifying/dissipating environment

We study the evolution of odd compass states (specific superpositions of four coherent states), governed by the standard master equation with phase-sensitive amplifying/attenuating terms, in the presence of a Hamiltonian describing a parametric degenerate linear amplifier. Explicit expressions for the time-dependent Wigner function are obtained. The time of disappearance of the so called “sub-Planck structures” is calculated using the negative value of the Wigner function at the origin of phase space. It is shown that this value rapidly decreases during a short “conventional interference degradation time” (CIDT), which is inversely proportional to the size of quantum superposition, provided the anti-Hermitian terms in the master equation are of the same order (or stronger) as the Hermitian ones (governing the parametric amplification). The CIDT is compared with the final positivization time (FPT), when the Wigner function becomes positive. It appears that the FPT does not depend on the size of superpositions, moreover, it can be much bigger in the amplifying media than in the attenuating ones. Paradoxically, strengthening the Hamiltonian part results in decreasing the CIDT, so that the CIDT almost does not depend on the size of superpositions in the asymptotical case of very weak reservoir coupling. We also analyze the evolution of the Mandel factor, showing that for some sets of parameters this factor remains significantly negative, even when the Wigner function becomes positive.     

Wettability Alteration to Intermediate Gas-Wetting in Porous Media at Elevated Temperatures

Wettability alteration to intermediate gas-wetting in porous media by treatment with FC-759, a fluorochemical polymer has been studied experimentally. Berea sandstone was used as the main rock sample in our work, and its wettability before and after chemical treatment was studied at various temperatures from 25 to 93°C. We also studied recovery performance for both gas/oil and oil/water systems for Berea sandstone before and after wettability alteration by chemical treatment. Our experiment shows that chemical treatment with FC-759 can result in: (1) wettability alteration from strong liquid-wetting to stable intermediate gas-wetting at room temperature and at elevated temperatures; (2) neutral wetting for gas, oil, and water phases in two-phase flow; (3) significant increase in oil mobility for gas/oil system; and (4) improved recovery behavior for both gas/oil and oil/water systems. This work reveals a potential for field application for improved gas-well deliverability and well injectivity by altering the rock wettability around wellbore in gas condensate reservoirs from strong liquid-wetting to intermediate gas-wetting.
