ABSTRACT
The demand of energy is increasing while the oil is production is decreasing gradually.
Most of the oil is left unproducible due to pressure depletion from the reservoir. To produce
remaining oil from the reservoir different methods of enhance oil recovery methods are
applied. Initially the natural energy of the reservoir is used to produce oil from the
reservoir. Very less amount of oil is recovered through this method. Then the reservoir is
either switch to artificial methods of production or water is injected to maintain the
reservoir pressure to produce the reservoir.
CO2 flooding is used as tertiary recovery method which is also called enhanced Oil
Recovery (EOR). By flooding the CO 2, the property of oil is changed like viscosity, and it
became feasible to be produced.
In this study we use GEM and Winprop modelers of the CMG software to indicate oil
production using CO2 flooding is enhanced. The 7-spot well pattern model is created with
injection wells in which first water is injected as a secondary recovery technique. After that
the well is switched to CO2 flooding which improved the oil recovery from the reservoir.
Different factors are there to be checked while injecting CO 2 into the reservoir. CO2
flooding is affected by different CO2 injection dates, CO2 injection ratios and CO2 injection
concentration

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Energy consumption around the globe is increasing day by day because the population is
increasing so the demand for oil is high. There are three main stages of oil or hydrocarbon
production from the reservoir, which are primary, secondary, and tertiary recovery (also
called the enhanced oil recovery) (EOR). Hydrocarbons that are produced by natural energy
of the reservoir or through artificial lift systems are said to be primary oil recovery. Water
and gas injection are used in secondary recovery to push it to the surface. These two
methods of production, according to the US Department of Energy, can leave up to
75percent of total oil in the well.[1] The conventional oil resources are declining due to
depletion of oil reservoirs. There is a great fall in supply to meet the demand of the world
oil market. To meet this demand industries are trying to produce oil at even higher cost and
challenges.

Scientists have tried all the different techniques to produce oil but the most efficient one is
the miscible or near miscible carbon dioxide flooding due to its properties it sweeps the oil
up to maximum amount. Due to this advancement most of the oil reservoirs are switched to
miscible carbon dioxide flooding. Carbon dioxide flooding technique is applied when the
reservoir is screened through the screening criteria in which different parameters are
evaluated and then it is decided whether the reservoir could be further produced by CO 2
flooding or not.

carbon dioxide emission, and we can produce economically and optimized production of oil
from the reservoirs.
While doing water flooding in a reservoir to increase the production of oil from the
reservoir. The water breaks through into the oil zone and due to it huge amount of oil is left
behind. To recover remaining oil CO2 is flooded to enhance the recovery.
1.3 Significance of the study
The demand for the energy in the world is increasing day by day at the same time the
production of hydrocarbon is declining and hardly meeting the demand along with some
renewable sources of energy. This research will trace a footprint for the future researchers
to dig out effective method for the enhanced production of hydrocarbons like CO2 flooding.
1.4 Research Objectives
To save our environment from the hazards of CO2 emission. CO2 is released in the
environment from different sources which hazardous for the greenhouse gases so by
using CO2 in the CO2 flooding the amount could be minimized and effectively used
in the production of oil from reservoir.
To increase hydrocarbon production by CO2 flooding into the reservoir. By flooding
CO2, the viscosity of oil is decreased so the relative permeability and movability of
oil is increase in this way the oil is produced from the reservoir.
To optimize the flooding by decreasing the well flowing pressure and increase the
reservoir pressure so that effective draw down can be created. In this study different
parameters are optimized during CO2 flooding.
1.5 Methodology
The methodology of this work is based on CMG software in which Winprop Module is
used to find out PVT properties and GEM module is used for the simulation of water
injection and carbon dioxide flooding. The flooding process is evaluated and optimized.

CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW

Global warming can have terrible consequences, according to scientists. Climate change
has been linked to human health issues and economic losses. According to a paper issued
by DARA in the Climate Vulnerable Forum 2012, global warming results in annual
economic losses of 1.2 trillion dollars, or around 1.6 percent of world GDP. In 2030, this
figure is predicted to rise up to 3.2 percent of global GDP [3].
Since the 1800s, the greenhouse effect has been acknowledged. Svante Arrhenius, a
Swedish physicist, hypothesized that carbon dioxide generated by coal burning would warm
the globe in 1896. Carbon emissions are the primary cause of global warming, according to
the majority of climate scientists. CO2 levels in the atmosphere are rising, and causing
climate change. The global carbon chain has been traced by a NASA satellite.
Carbon dioxide concentrations from 1st October to 11th November 2014 is shown in

should be curtailed because global warming is real and dangerous. To control CO 2
emissions, mitigation program should be introduced.

The extraction of crude oil from a reservoir goes through several stages, the first is primary
recovery, in which reservoir pressure and temperature are employed to extract hydrocarbon
especially oil. Water is injected into the reservoir for pressure maintenance program or gas
in the secondary recovery step. After these methods, most of the oil remains in the
reservoir. To recover this amount, the enhanced recovery method is used, in which CO 2 is
flooded into the reservoir which sweep the oil by decreasing the oil viscosity as it is
miscible with oil hence increase the reservoir flowing pressure and produce maximum
amount of oil from the reservoir.
16
carbon dioxide gas remains immiscible with oil. In this way it is just used for pressure
maintenance.
2.4.2 CO2 Miscible EOR
The physical state which is formed by mixing of two or more than two fluids without any
interface. In carbon dioxide flooding miscibility is attained when reservoir pressure is
greater than the minimum miscibility pressure. Minimum miscibility pressure depends on
oil composition and reservoir temperature. A miscible CO2 flooding process is shown
below in the figure 2.4.
CO2 will not instantly dissolve into the oil. After establishing multi contact interface, CO2
will dissolve into the oil and oil will dissolve into the CO2 and CO2 then will be completely
miscible with the oil and will create a miscible region among the injected carbon dioxide
and oil. After miscibility between CO2 and oil is achieved the viscosity and interfacial force
of the miscible zone will be low and will improve the production [25, 26].
Miscibility is achieved by the two processes, they are multi contact miscibility and first
contact miscibility process. First contact miscibility is attained when the injected and
displaced fluids are miscible with each other in all extents without any interface. All
solvents are not miscible with crude oil. In such cases miscibility between fluids is achieved
17
by multi contact process. Large amount of CO2 when introduced in the reservoir, mass
transfer between carbon dioxide and reservoir fluid takes place. Carbon dioxide multi
contact miscibility is divided into vaporizing and condensing gas drive. Both these methods
work on component transfer. The components which they can transfer are divided into:
Pure components like nitrogen, natural gas and carbon dioxide gas
Light weight components like C1
Intermediate weight components from C2-C6
Heavy weight components
2.4.2.1 First contact miscibility
Because all solvent-oil mixtures beyond minimum miscibility pressure are separate phases,
the pressure must be above the two phase envelop to achieve first contact miscibilty. If the
solvent is liquid at reservoir pressure and temperature, such as a propane-butane mixture,
the saturation pressure for the mixture of oil and solvent will range between the oil's and the
solvent's bubble-point pressures. The cricondenbar is higher than the two bubble-point
pressures in this situation. The phase distribution is more complicated when the solvent is a
gas at reservoir pressure and temperature. In this case, the cricondenbar is higher than the
two bubble-point pressures. When the solvent is a gas at reservoir pressure and temperature,
the phase distribution becomes more difficult. To achieve a miscible displacement
procedure, a miscible slug must be formed ahead of the injected gas
if natural gas or CO2 is chosen as the solvent to sweep the reservoir. The slug can be
propane or liquefied petroleum gas, and it must be totally miscible with the reservoir oil at
one end and completely miscible with the injected gas at the other.
Multiple contact miscibility is normally achieved between oil and solvents like natural gas,
CO2, flue gases or nitrogen These fluids are not first-contact miscible and forms two-phase
regions when they mix directly with the reservoir fluids. The miscibility is achieved by
mass transfer of components which results from multiple and repeated contact between the
18
oil and the injected fluid through the reservoir. There are two main processes where
dynamic miscible displacement can be achieved. Those are the vaporizing and the
condensing gas drive.
The following descriptions explain the mechanisms for gas drives in general, but the
difference between CO2 and natural gas is that the dynamic miscibility with CO 2 does not
require the presence of intermediate molecular weight hydrocarbons in the reservoir fluid.
The extraction of a broad range of hydrocarbons from the reservoir oil often causes
dynamic miscibility to occur at attainable pressures, which are lower than the miscibility
pressure for a dry hydrocarbon gas.
The process is shown schematically in figure 4.3 where the first mixing cell splits into
liquid L1 and gas G1. Gas G1 moves on to the next mixing cell and liquid L 1 mixes with
fresh solvent to form the next mixture. Liquid L 2 mixes with fresh solvent, and so on.
The mixing process will ultimately result in a single-phase mixture. Since the gas
phase has already passed through the first cell, the miscibility now develops at the rare
of the solvent-crude mixing zone as a consequence of the enrichment of the liquid
phase from the intermediate components. The front of the mixing zone is a region of
immiscible flow owing to the continual contacting to the gas phases G 1, G2, and so on.
Since the intermediate component condenses into the liquid phase, the process is called
a condensing gas drive.
CO2 cannot form miscibility alone, but through a vaporizing drive where injected CO 2
vaporizes some of the light components in the oil. These are subsequently re-
condensed at the displacement front creating an enriched zone with favorable mobility
characteristics, referred to as a combined vaporizing and condensing drive.
Figure 2.6. Oil Recovery versus pressure plot and its corresponding MMP value [32]
The MMP value is pressure on which CO2 and oil becomes miscible and forms a
homogenous one phase. In petroleum reservoirs the movement of oil by means of gas is
mainly at the mercy of pressure. Miscible displacement is attained on a pressure value
greater than the minimum miscibility pressure. MMP is defined as minimum pressure at
which the miscibility can be attained by the flooding gas with the reservoir crude oil at
reservoir temperature [33]. For miscibility of carbon dioxide and crude oil minimum
miscibility pressure is necessary. For reliable implementation of carbon dioxide miscible
process minimum miscibility pressure is very important. Minimum miscibility pressure is
affected by many factors.
22
Reservoir temperature has a great effect on minimum miscibility pressure determination.
Generally minimum miscibility pressure increases with increase in reservoir temperature.
24
to some amount can remove the inorganic scales and due to this oil recovery is improved.
2.6.7. Solution gas drive
More volume of carbon dioxide will dissolve in crude oil with increase of flooding pressure
while carbon dioxide flooding. The pressure within the reservoir will decrease after some
time while production, when carbon dioxide flooding is stopped. During this stage the
dissolved carbon dioxide will separate from the oil and will form a gas cap and will drive
the oil towards the production well.
Reservoir depth, pressure, and temperature, minimum miscibility pressure (MMP), residual
oil saturation, net pay thickness, crude oil gravity, and viscosity, as well as permeability,
porosity, and reservoir heterogeneity, are all used as screening parameters for miscible CO 2
flooding.
At depths of about 800 meters, CO2 is suitable for miscibility. Others have considered
various depths for which EOR is appropriate (Table No.2), which range from 600 m to
3,000 m. (2,000 and 9,800 ft.). However, depending on the geothermal and hydrodynamic
systems in a bowl, supercritical CO2 conditions can be attained at various depths, ranging
from extremely shallow (two or three hundred meters) to extremely deep (> 1,200 meters).
Because CO2 is subcritical at the repository conditions, the topographical space can be
changed into the CO2 P-T space instead of applying a sweeping profundity restriction (i.e.,
800 m, or the profundities recommended in Table No. 2) for screening oil supplies
unacceptable for CO2 flooding.
In a carbon-controlled climate, more supplies might be considered reasonable for CO2-flood
EOR. A screening technique can be utilized for the choice of likely poles for CO 2 flooding
that meet certain specialized models for accomplishing miscibility. Table no 2.2 presents a
progression of models suggested by different creators for the use of CO2-flooding EOR.

(Table no 2.3). The minimal reservoir pressure requirement states that the ratio of reservoir
pressure to minimum miscible pressure (P/MMP) should be larger than one in most cases.
For P/MMP = 0.95, CO2-flood EOR is still viable. As a result, another screening parameter
for reservoir suitability for CO2 flooding is P/MMP > 0.95.
Based on general reservoir and oil features, these criteria can be used to quickly filter and
evaluate oil reservoirs in a sedimentary basin that are appropriate for CO2 EOR.[27]
Carbon catch and capacity is an innovation that permits up to 90% of the carbon dioxide
emanations to be caught from the consuming of petroleum derivatives in creating power,
for example, hydrocarbon-energized power plants or industry cycles like industrial
facilities. The CCS cycle can be partitioned into three fundamental parts, in particular
catch, transportation, and capacity. To begin with, catch innovations license the partition of
CO2 from pipe gas by the method for three general strategies, which incorporate pre-
ignition catch, post-burning catch and oxyfuel burning. The caught CO 2 is then moved to a
capacity site for sequestration. Capacity destinations should be assessed to guarantee their
wellbeing, attainability, and security. There are a few normal stockpiling destinations:
drained oil and gas supplies, profound un-mineable coal creases or profound saline springs,
among others (Figure 2.4).
27
There are a few issues related with CCS: CO 2 catch cost, arrangement stockpiling limit and
vulnerability of the objective development properties. CO 2 catch innovations can be
exorbitant. There are four significant innovations utilized for CO 2 catch: retention,
adsorption, cryogenic refining, and layer detachment. This load of innovations means to
catch and think CO2 proficiently with lower costs.
Furthermore, restricted got capacity site have challenge to CCS projects. Drained oil and
gas repositories are ordinarily all around described. Be that as it may, the capacity limit is
restricted because of the size of the repositories. Then again, profound saline spring offers a
lot more prominent stockpiling limit whenever contrasted with exhausted oil and gas
supply. However, the developments are typically not all around portrayed and CO 2
stockpiling densities are low. Analysts have been zeroing in on elective stockpiling
destinations, for example, profound sea ocean depths. Nonetheless, since sea ocean bottoms
are not encased and gotten, there is a danger that infused and put away CO2 may disappear
to the air.
The speed of modern advancement of CCS is slow whenever contrasted with the objective
advancement laid out by IEA to arrive at the targets of the 450 Scenario. This is essentially
because of the absence of financial motivating force and rigid guideline to foster CCS
projects.

Carbon dioxide improved oil recovery (CO2-EOR) is one of the most popular miscible
29
recovery option for using anthropogenic CO2 to boost oil production without burying
CO2. In general, the methods for recovering more oil and storing more CO 2 underground
varies drastically. More research should be conducted in this direction to identify the
best improved methods for recovering hydrocarbon while also storing a significant
amount of CO2.
