    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.21, No.6, pp. 1459-1471, 2025, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2025.060255 - 30 June 2025

    Abstract The relative permeability of oil and water is a key factor in assessing the production performance of a reservoir. This study analyzed the impact of injecting a viscosity reducer solution into low-viscosity crude oil to enhance fluid flow within a low-permeability reservoir. At 72°C, the oil-water dispersion solution achieved a viscosity reduction rate (f) of 92.42%, formulated with a viscosity reducer agent concentration (CVR) of 0.1% and an oil-water ratio of 5:5. The interfacial tension between the viscosity reducer solution and the crude oil remained stable at approximately 1.0 mN/m across different concentrations, with the minimum More >

    Abstract This study aims to formulate a steady-state mathematical model for a three-dimensional permeable enclosure (cavity) to determine the oil extraction rate using three distinct nanoparticles, SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3, in unconventional oil reservoirs. The simulation is conducted for different parameters of volume fractions, porosities, and mass flow rates to determine the optimal oil recovery. The impact of nanoparticles on relative permeability ( and water is also investigated. The simulation process utilizes the finite volume ANSYS Fluent. The study results showed that when the mass flow rate at the inlet is low, oil recovery goes up. In addition, More >
