Abstract In this paper, the enhanced oil recovery potential of the application of nanoparticles in Niger Delta water-wet reservoir rock was investigated. Core flooding experiments were conducted on the sandstone core samples at 25 °C with the applications of nanoparticles in secondary and tertiary injection modes. The oil production during flooding was used to evaluate the enhanced oil recovery potential of the nanoparticles in the reservoir rock. The results of the study showed that the application of nanoparticles in tertiary mode after the secondary formation brine flooding increased oil production by 16.19% OIIP. Also, a comparison between the oil recoveries from secondary formation brine and nanoparticles flooding showed that higher oil recovery of 81% OIIP was made with secondary nanoparticles flooding against 57% OIIP made with formation brine flooding. Finally, better oil recovery of 7.67% OIIP was achieved with secondary application of nanoparticles relative to the tertiary application of formation brine and nanoparticles flooding. The results of this study are significant for the design of the application of nanoparticles in Niger Delta reservoirs.

The Impact

Abstract An evaluation of potential EOR processes applicable in the marginal oil field operation of the Niger Delta region is presented. Technical feasibility, process availability, oil recovery potential, and other uncertainties and risks associated with exploitation of enhanced oil recovery technique in a marginal oil field environment are being assessed. Few Enhanced oil recovery processes, namely polymer flooding, chemical flooding and microbial EOR (MEOR), are considered for possible application in this marginal oil field. The objective of the screening study is to evaluate and rank the EOR options and also select the most attractive method that will have to be further chased to a pilot test stage. Emphasis is strictly on a technical assessment of the incremental oil potential of each of the EOR methods and also identification of critical operational and logistical components of the entire process for their implementation in the offshore operating environment. Recoverable volumes associated with EOR may be significant, but key project development and implementation challenges and extra cost elements must be considered in any EOR forecast for an effective EOR process ranking. Some of these concerns (e.g. Polymer/chemical supply, facilities requirements, and the impact of EOR on reservoir performance and wellbore integrity) may be significant enough to eliminate a method from being considered further and at that point the best EOR option that requires minimal cost exposure for achieving the best recoverable shall be considered. Moreso, there is consideration of the quantity and quality of laboratory data that should support the viability of each EOR process being considered. This paper narrates the state of technical readiness for field implementation of each EOR method and identifies remaining work required to progress EOR process in this marginal oil field.
