Historically, the streamline method has been unable toaccount for gravity effects. This is a result of assuming that the fluid path follows thestreamline path and therefore no communication among streamlines. However with gravity,a fluid pathline is different from a fluid streamline. Each phase can move vertically asa result of the gravity segregation effect in addition to the flow along streamline.Gravity effects are accounted in the streamline method by an operator splitting technique.The idea is to isolate the convective flow from diffusion due to gravity for separatesolutions. The convective part is calculated along the common streamline trajectories andthe diffusion part is determined by the direction of gravity. While this has been done successfullyfor isothermal problems, it is still a challenge to obtain both accuracy and efficiencyfor non-isothermal flow. This paper further examines the mixed streamline methodwith an operator splitting technique for this class of problems. The pressure equation fordefining streamlines was derived by summing up the mass conservation equations. Then,the mass and heat transport equations in terms of the streamline time-of-flight coordinatewere solved for each streamline. A gravity step will be followed by solving the segregationequations over the dimensional grid. For simplification of modeling, heat was assumed totransfer by convection only, of which direction is parallel with the flowing phases and theinfluence of temperature in the simulation model is through changes in fluid viscosity only.The proposed approach was tested through simulation of heavy oil recovery by means ofhot waterflooding. The results were verified with those of a commercial fully implicit thermalsimulator.","PeriodicalId":21649,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Contributions Oil and Gas","volume":"150 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77409477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the traditional role of establishing subsurface structural geometry, seismic processing and interpretations have evolved into an ever increasing role in providing rock physical properties such as acoustic impedance (AI) and porosity (0). The more common use of 3-D seismic surveys, in both exploration and development stages, have fur- ther underlined the role of seismic data as provider of inter-well rock property data. Further developments in the petrophysics-related seismic interpretation have also shown efforts to ex- tract information related to contents of formation rocks. From the widely acknowledged brightspot analysis for detecting presence of gas-bearing porous rocks in the last decades of the 20 century to the later efforts to extract information regarding fluid saturation in reservoir. Actually, as early as in mid- 1960s have scientists started to investigate the relations between acoustic signals and fluid saturation (e.g King, 1966; Domenico, 1976; Gregory, 1976). However, due to the fact that the then commonly used of 2-D seismic was considered as having insuf- ficient resolution for any practical uses in the field, the efforts remained mainly for academic purposes only. Rapid developments in technology of 3-D seis- mic survey and processing, as well as its more com- mon use at present have prompted attentions back to the investigations aimed at extracting fluid saturation information from seismie data. In 1990s have Widarsono and Saptono (1997) started a series of investigation through laboratory measurements and modeling using core samples. This was followed by more works not only at laboratory level but at larger levels of well and field scales (e.g. Widarsono Saptono, 2000a, 2000b, and 2001; and Widarsono et al, 2002a, 2000b). Other investigators (e.g. Furre Brevik, 2000; Wu, 2000; Zhu et al, 2000; and more recently Wu et al, 2005) have also devoted some works to achieving the same goal. Other paths of development have incorporated other supporting tech- niques such as non-linear regression (e.g.Balch et al, 1998) and artificial neural network (e.g. Poupon Ingram, 1999; Oldenziel et al, 2000).From various investigations using seismic waves as the sole data for fluid saturation extraction, short- comings were soon felt in the form of 'narrow bands' of acoustic signals (ie P-wave velocity, V, and acoustic impedance, AI) that are influenced by varia- tions in fluid saturation. In other words, V, and AI are not too influenced by variation in fluid saturation. This reduces the effectiveness of seismic-derived V and Al as fluid saturation indicators. Efforts were then devoted to link V, and AI to other parameters such as rock true resistivity (R), a parameter known to be very sensitive to variation in fluid saturation.

To measure the IFT precisely and accurately at high pressure and temperature, Pendant Drop Apparatus had been set up. IFT between surfactant solution and reservoir oil have been investigated at several different pressure and temperature. The working pressure ranged from 0 psig up to 5000 psig, and the temperature varied from ambient condition to 80oC. The results indicated that the interfacial tension behavior of surfactant solution and reservoir oil was very unique characteristics as the pressure and temperature increase. However, some conclusion can be withdrawn from these experiments. Increasing pressure causes relatively minor change in IFT. On the other hand the rise of temperature tended to raise the IFT much more significant. Since the surfactant solution having unique behavior therefore it is recommended that IFT must be measured in laboratory at the reservoir condition before injecting in to a reservoir.","PeriodicalId":21649,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Contributions Oil and Gas","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91083205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The occurrence of pollen Meyeripollis naharkotensis and spore Cicatricosisporites dorogensis in the upper well sections suggests the pollen zone of Meyeripollis naharkotensis which is equivalent to Oligocene age. Meanwhile, the occurrence of pollen Proxapertites operculatus and spore Cicatricosisporites eocenicus below Meyeripollis naharkotensis zone indicates the appearance of Proxapertites operculatus zone within the lower sections which is equivalent to Eocene. In addition, foraminiferal and nannoplankton analyses confirm the Oligocene-Eocene age by identifying the occurrence of letter stage of Te4-Tb and nanno zone of NP20-P25. The appearance of the Gondwanan/Australian elements including Dacrydium and Casuarina with common and regular occurrences throughout the studied sections are controversial as these pollen were firstly recorded in the younger sediments (Early Miocene) of other areas such as Northwest Java sea, South Sumatra and Natuna sea following the collision of the Australian plate and the Sundaland in the latest Oligocene. Furthermore, the absence of these palynomorphs within the Paleogene sediments of Central Java and South Sulawesi strengthens the above assumption. Therefore, in regard to East Java, the appearance of Dacrydium and Casuarina may indicate earlier arrival of the Gondwanan/ Australian fragment in this area compared to that in other areas of Indonesia.","PeriodicalId":21649,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Contributions Oil and Gas","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89594027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
