- Steam flooding to thermally lower oil viscosity and commercially applied to heavy oil and bitumen recovery
- Syngas injection to upgrade heavy hydrocarbon components as well as reduce capillary forces for mobilization of trapped oils
- Pressure pulse resonance to mobilize more trapped oil by increasing viscous forces
- Toe to Heel (TTH) short distance oil displacement (SDOD) process to enhance displacement sweep efficiency of our hybrid EOR technology
PRTISP takes advantage of above mentioned processes that are currently being applied individually to a wide range of reservoirs. In fact, our simulator can be used to model and capture the mechanisms behind advanced PRTISP patented process. Modelling of such process is very complicated and far from satisfactory in existing phase behaviour and fluid-flow simulators. Integrated modelling of the simulator is completely different and uniqueness compared with the traditional simulators. In the following table, we list a few advantages of the target simulator in comparison to traditional simulators:
- Coupled steamtable/PR-EOS (or Blackoil) phase behaviour
- Pressure pulse resonance process with different pulsing parameters in governing fluid flow equations
- Capillary or trapping number conceptual physics using to model the PRTISP process
- Contact angle and interfacial tension mechanisms using to model the PRTISP process
- Dynamic residual saturations model
- Dynamic relative permeability parameter (endpoint and exponent) models
- Dynamic capillary pressure model
- Physics based simulator
These reservoir modelling services are now available for clients that are interested in our technology and wish to deploy such technology in their existing conventional, unconventional and shale oil production reservoirs. Presently we have several oil firms and capital markets interested in our technology and the future it brings to increasing oil production using green technology, safe to the environment and extremely cost effective. Focus areas include Heavy oil and Bitumen plays, depleted light oil plays and Shale oil plays.
