Method for enhancing hydrocarbon recovery from tight formations
| DWPI Title: Designing injectate to enhance hydrocarbon production from underground rock formation, comprises designing initial injectate to obtain desired wettability, pumping into well, analyzing injectate flow back and modifying initial injectate |
| Use: The method is useful for designing injectate to enhance liquid hydrocarbon production from underground rock formation. |
| Novelty: Method (M1) of designing injectate to enhance liquid hydrocarbon production from underground rock formation comprises: (a) designing initial injectate to achieve desired wettability; (b) pumping initial injectate into well in underground rock formation; (c) analyzing injectate flow back resulting from pumping initial injectate into well for estimated achieved wettability; and (d) modifying initial injectate to form modified injectate based on estimated achieved wettability. |
