Title

INVESTIGATION OF THE VAPEX PERFORMANCE IN HIGH PRESSURE HEAVY OIL RESERVOIRS

Pages

  113-121

Abstract

 The Vapour Extraction (VAPEX) process, a solvent-based ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY process which has a mechanism similar to the steam-assisted GRAVITY DRAINAGE (SAGD), has taken considerable attention in recent years. This method can be applied to heavy oil reservoirs with high viscosity and low API gravity. Light hydrocarbons (propane and butane) are used as solvents in this process. The upgraded oil is produced by its gravity in this process. Such characteristics as low energy consumption, low environmental pollution, in-situ upgrading of heavy oil, lower capital costs, make the process superior over thermal EOR methods. In this work, the solvent-based EOR processes are introduced. Then, the performance of VAPEX process is studied by simulating the process in a 2-D system. Such parameters as solvent injection rate and solvent diffusivity into heavy oil are studied.Simulation results show that at high pressure conditions, optimum injection rate should be used.
