The second LUM live webinar in the series “Analytical characterization of Crude Oil Separation” focuses on the use of the LUM measuring devices LUMiReader PSA and LUMiSizer in the area of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and for determining the droplet size distribution in crude oil emulsions.
“Enhanced oil recovery (abbreviated EOR), also called tertiary recovery, is the extraction of crude oil from an oil field that cannot be extracted otherwise. EOR can extract 30% to 60% or more of a reservoir's oil, compared to 20% to 40% using primary and secondary recovery.
According to the US Department of Energy, carbon dioxide and water are injected along with one of three EOR techniques: thermal injection, gas injection, and chemical injection. More advanced, speculative EOR techniques are sometimes called quaternary recovery.
There are three primary techniques of EOR: gas injection, thermal injection, and chemical injection.” [cited from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhance...]
EOR case studies using the LUMiSizer analytical centrifuge and the LUMiReader PSA separation analyzer will be presented during the webinar. To determine the water droplet distribution in waxy crude oil emulsions, users apply the LUMiSizer dispersion analyzer.
Two examples from the literature are introduced in the webinar.
