Proposed Process: Adding a Solvent to the Steam Injection Process in Extracting Oil
New elements
Solvents
Toluene
Benzene
Gas condensates
Propane
Mixing chambers
Distillers
Separate water from solvents from oil produced
Water boilers
Injection Motors
High horsepower motor
Driving motors from one part to another
Electrical supply
Using steam produced from boilers
Steps for the steam-solvent Injection
Solvent and steam are driven to the mixing chamber to be mixed
Steam and solvent are driven to the injection motor to be injected
1.Water is fed into the boilers to reach gas state
Oil+Water+Solvent will be retrieved in production pipes
Mixture will be driven to distiller to be separated
Background information
Seismic surveys of the area
Logs to be analyzed
Pressure testing
Identifying lithology column
Test oil density, viscosity, etc..
Decide number of stages for the steam injection
Picking proper solvent
Safety
Fire Controlling Equipment
Blowout Preventers (BOP)
Emergency Power Supplies
Problems of asphaltenes
Lowering permiability
Blocking porosities in the formation
High melting point
Formation damage
Increasing viscosity
Lowering API of the Oil
Creating pressure abnormalities
