  • Controlled alternating flow direction for enhanced conformance
    Patent number: 10047588
    Abstract: A method for reducing permeability in a first region of a formation, including injecting a first composition in the first region from a first location near and/or adjacent the first region; and injecting a second composition in the first region from a second location near and/or adjacent the first region, wherein the first composition and the second composition are configured to react so as to form a reaction product capable of reducing the permeability in at least a portion of the first region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 30, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 14, 2018
    Assignee: Maersk Olie OG Gas A/S
    Inventors: Martin Bennetzen, Kristian Mogensen
  • Conformance control in enhanced oil recovery
    Patent number: 9915123
    Abstract: A method of enhancing oil recovery by use of conformance control involves the provision of a plugging material which is designed to be formed within an area of high-permeability in preference to an area of low permeability in order that subsequent water, gas or chemical flooding can enhance oil recovery from the area/region of low permeability.

  • CONFORMANCE CONTROL IN ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY
    Publication number: 20160186041
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved method of enhancing oil recovery by use of conformance control. More particularly, the method of conformance control involves the provision of a plugging material which is designed to be formed within an area of high-permeability in preference to an area of low permeability in order that subsequent water, gas or chemical flooding can enhance oil recovery from the area/region of low permeability.

  • CONTROLLED ALTERNATING FLOW DIRECTION FOR ENHANCED CONFORMANCE
    Publication number: 20160177662
    Abstract: A method for reducing permeability in a first region 12 of a formation 10, comprises injecting a first composition in the first region 12 from a first location 30 near or and/or adjacent the first region 12; and injecting a second composition in the first region 12 from a second location 20 near or and/or adjacent the first region 12; wherein the first composition and the second composition are configured to react so as to form a reaction product 60 capable of reducing the permeability in at least a portion of the first region 12.
