Bug food concentration in microbial flood

Adjustment to grow microbes faster

If you're interested in microbial flooding, you'll want to read this application. After starting the flood, this operator writes an application to adjust the nutrient content in the injectant. He believes that all the nutrient will be consumed in the reservoir and none will be produced. We found this information using AppIntel.

The approval shows the detail of analysis on injectors, producers, pressure, break through, and any anomalies expected by the regulator on an experimental scheme.

This pool started on microbial flood very late in life, when most of the water flood reserves had already been recovered.

The promise of microbial flooding is inexpensive water channeling control. No diversion chemicals such as polymer need be injected. Rather a small amount of nutrient is added to a fresh water injectant base. The hope is that microbes already in-situ will thrive on the nutrient, grow and block water channels in the pool. The expectation is that as water channels become plugged, water will be forced into unswept pore channels increasing sweep and recovery.

Each AER application contains your neighbor's perspective on the exploitation of oil and gas formations. Applications contain more exploitation ideas than you can even find in SPE papers.

Would you like to see what other operators in your areas are thinking about seismic, multifractured wells, polymer schemes and recovery? AppIntel can help.
