    Chemical Flooding in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs: Fundamental Aspects and Field-Scale Practices

    No full text
    Appropriate methods should be employed to enhance the oil recovery from the Naturally Fractured Reservoirs (NFRs). One of the candidates for enhancing the oil recovery from these reservoirs is the surfactant-based chemical flooding. This paper highlights the technical achievements and challenges of the chemical flooding in the NFRs. The classification, production characteristics, recovery mechanisms of the NFRs and significant findings of the chemical flooding in these reservoirs are reviewed and analyzed. It is expected that this paper will serve as a helpful reference tool for the engineers interested in chemical flooding in the NFRs

Des méthodes appropriées devraient être utilisées pour augmenter la récupération d’huile des réservoirs naturellement fracturés (RNFs). Un des candidats pour augmenter cette récupération d’huile de ces réservoirs est l’injection d’eau contenant des agents chimiques. Cet article met en lumière les résultats techniques et les défis de cette technique. La classification, les caractéristiques de production, les mécanismes de rétablissement du RNFs et les résultats significatifs de l’injection d’eau contenant des agents chimiques dans ces réservoirs sont passés en revue et analysés. Ce papier vise à être un outil de référence utile aux ingénieurs intéressés par l’injection d’eau contenant des agents chimiques dans les RNFs
