  • Publication number: 20130277543
    Abstract: The present invention relates an Integral analysis method of inter-well tracer tests, which integrates and performs continuous feedback to each of the major stage (design, operation and interpretation) allowing quantitative interpretation of these tests. It is presented as a tool to investigate the behavior of injection fluids for recovery of hydrocarbons, as well as for the dynamic characterization of reservoirs. The main advantage of this invention is that it allows a greater certainty in the tracer response and a marked improvement in the sensitivity and quantitative analysis of the test results, since the curves fit both with mathematical models and numerical models. Another outstanding attraction of this invention is the reduction in the costs of testing such applications.

  • Publication number: 20130118955
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved desulfurization process using an ionic liquid compound of general formula C+A?, where C+ represents an organic cation such as alkyl-pyridinium, di-alkyl imidazolium and tri-alkyl imidazolium; and A? is an anion of halides of iron (III), such as, for example, FeCl4?. The desulfurization process is also improved when producing the ionic liquid compound by heating the reactants using microwave energy. The ionic liquids can be used to desulfurize hydrocarbon mixtures by a liquid-liquid extraction.
