Relies of the use of thermal energy to aid in the displacement of oil reserves. It does this by increasing the reservoir temperature and thus lowering the oil viscosity, which in turn helps to displace the oil to a well. Hot Water Floods The injection of hot water into the reservoir, the hot water helps … Continue reading Thermal Recovery

Wettability The tendency of one fluid to spread on or adhere to a solid surface in the presence of a second fluid. If two immiscible fluids/phases are placed in contact with each other and a solid phase one of the two is more attracted to the solid phase. The more strongly attracted is the wetting … Continue reading IOR Concepts
