A dual-porosity dual-permeability model for acid gas injection process evaluation in hydrogen-carbonate reservoirs

The Pre-Caspian basin is one of the most prolific in terms of oil and gas exploration and hydrogen and carbon compounds energy production around the world. The major hydrogen and carbon compounds reservoirs are Carboniferous reef and platform hydrogen-carbonate rocks. The original fluids under subsurface conditions contain 15% hydrogen sulfide and 4% carbon dioxide. Acid hydrogen and carbon compounds reinjection is not only an environmentally friendly solution for disposal of produced greenhouse gases but also enhances oil recovery and supplies more fuel energy. On the other hand, the presence of fractures makes hydrogen-carbonate reservoir characteristics nature more complicated than conventional sandstone reservoirs, which leads to a tremendous challenge to evaluate the gas injection process. In this work, a dual-porosity dual-permeability formulation was used to model the dual-medium nature incorporating matrix system with high porosity and low permeability and fracture network with low porosity and high permeability. After matching PVT experiments, a ten pseudo-components fluid model was generated for running compositional simulation. The miscible hydrogen and carbon compounds injection was simulated as an effective enhanced oil recovery approach. Sensitivity analysis such as timing of injection gas, injection rate, well spacing and completion interval have proposed the optimal condition for the miscible hydrogen and carbon compounds flooding. The recommended optimum hydrogen and carbon compounds injection scenario is twice higher oil recovery compared with natural depletion. The results of this study illustrate further the practicability of pseudo-components splitting and lumping for compositional simulation to evaluate the performance of hydrogen and carbon compounds injection processes, and are of great importance using the dual-porosity dual-permeability method performing numerical simulation of naturally fractured hydrogen-carbonate reservoirs.

Dimension Optimization for Silica Sand Based on the Analysis of Dynamic Absorption Efficiency in Microwave Drying

We propose a theoretical guideline for prediction of maximum microwave absorption in microwave drying by optimizing the thickness of a silica sand layer based on analysis of reflection loss (RL). The microwave RL of the silica sand layer was studied over the moisture content of 1% to 5% at 20°C and the silica sand (5% moisture content) in the temperature range of 20 to 100°C at 2.45 GHz. The calculated RL for various moisture contents and temperatures shows that the RL sensitively depends on the thickness of the silica sand. There are absorption peaks in the RL patterns, and the microwave absorption peak shifts towards a smaller thickness side as the moisture content and temperature of the silica sand increase. We also show that the intensity of microwave absorption peaks in the RL patterns of silica sand decrease with decreasing moisture content, and achieve the highest absorption at 60°C.     

Recovery of zinc from an industrial zinc leach residue by solvent extraction using D2EHPA

A hydrometallurgical treatment involving solvent extraction of zinc using di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) has been investigated to recover zinc from an industrial leach residue. The residue was leached with sulfuric acid producing leach liquor which was subjected to solvent extraction for enrichment of zinc and removal of impurities. Operating variables, such as pH, D2EHPA concentration, temperature, aqueous/organic (A/O) phase ratio, tri-butyl phosphate (TBP) concentration and sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) concentration in aqueous phase were studied. Practically, all zinc was extracted from the aqueous solution at pH 2.5 with 20% w/w D2EHPA in kerosene. Increasing either TBP concentration up to 5%, or Na₂SO₄ concentration up to 0.2 M, increased the zinc extraction. Zinc could be extracted at one theoretical stage at A/O of 1/1, as calculated by McCabe–Thiele method.
