Oilfield
Micellar-polymer flooding
Oil & gas; Oilfield
An enhanced oil recovery technique in which a micelle solution is pumped into a reservoir through specially distributed injection wells. The chemical solution reduces the interfacial and capillary ...
Water alternating gas
Oil & gas; Oilfield
An enhanced oil recovery process whereby water injection and gas injection are alternately injected for periods of time to provide better sweep efficiency and reduce gas channelling from injector to ...
CO2 injection
Oil & gas; Oilfield
An enhanced oil recovery method in which carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is injected into a reservoir to increase production by reducing oil viscosity and providing miscible or partially miscible displacement ...
Proximity log
Oil & gas; Oilfield
An electrode device with small spacings from which the current flow, and hence the measurement, is focused a short distance into the formation. The proximity log measures the resistivity of the ...
Microcylindrical log
Oil & gas; Oilfield
An electrode device with small spacings from which the current flow, and hence the measurement, is focused a short distance into the formation. The microcylindrical log measures the resistivity of ...
Microspherical log
Oil & gas; Oilfield
An electrode device with small spacings from which the current flow, and hence the measurement, is focused a short distance into the formation. The microspherical log measures the resistivity of the ...
Microlaterolog
Oil & gas; Oilfield
An electrode device with small spacings from which the current flow, and hence the measurement, is focused a short distance into the formation. Introduced in 1953, the microlaterolog measures the ...
