Abstract
AbstractIn the oil and gas reservoirs, the interaction between the injected fluids and the reservoir fluids and rocks plays a major role in the productivity of any oil and gas field. Studying the ion exchange between reservoir fluids and the injected fluids for water flooding or chemical enhanced oil recovery purposes would help in optimizing the oil displacement process and hence the productivity form such secondary or tertiary recovery mechanisms. Chelating agents are used for enhance oil recovery to improve the oil displacement and sweep efficiency by altering the reservoir rock’s surface. When it comes to fluid-rock interaction, conductivity and ionic activity of the injected water will have a great impact on the rock’s surface charge and therefore in the reservoir’s wettability. Dielectric laboratory measurements have the ability to observe the change in conductivity at high frequency due to the presence of free ions and salts in fluids. In this work, observing the effect of chelating agent with different salts on high frequency conductivity using laboratory dielectric measurements has been conducted. Introducing laboratory dielectric measurement could be a valuable tool in the lab as an evaluation technique into the ion exchange that occurs between different fluids from the reservoir with different brines and additives to study the fluid–fluid interaction activities. It can be also utilized to investigate the maximum chelating capacity of different chelating agents with different cations which can be reflected by the change in conductivity.
