20140124196 | OPTIMIZING ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY BY THE USE OF OIL TRACERS - A method of optimizing recovery of oil from a formation that includes injecting an oil tracer into an injection well in the formation and applying a tertiary oil recovery process for recovering the oil from the formation. A production well is monitored to detect the oil tracer in oil from the production wells within particular times. The method also includes modifying the tertiary oil recovery process based on the detection of the oil tracer in oil from the production well. | 05-08-2014 |
20130248176 | ULTRA LOW CONCENTRATION SURFACTANT FLOODING - A method of recovering oil from a formation that includes the use of surfactants at low concentrations. The surfactant may be an oleophilic surfactant. The method may include conditioning an oil recovery system to inhibit microbes that could consume the oleophilic surfactant. A method that determines the concentration of a surfactant that is sufficient to change the interfacial tension between oil and water in a near well bore area of an injection well in a formation but does not require changing the interfacial tension between oil and water outside the near well bore area. | 09-26-2013 |
20120325457 | Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery Delivery Systems and Methods - A method of microbial enhanced oil recovery from a wellbore in an oil-bearing formation that includes injecting water into the oil-bearing formation via a tubing string in the wellbore and introducing oxygen into the oil-bearing formation for consumption by microbes in the oil-bearing formation. The oxygen introduction includes delivering the oxygen into the oil-bearing formation without having the introduced oxygen contact the walls of the tubing string and without having the introduced oxygen contact the injected water within the tubing string while the injected water is in the tubing string. | 12-27-2012 |
