The Effects of Dissolved Methane on Composition Paths in Quaternary CO2- Hydrocarbon Systems
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This report presents several analytical results concerning composition paths for quaternary systems. The behavior of displacements in the CO2 - C1 - C4 - C10 system is investigated to answer questions pertaining to the effects of the presence of methane on displacement efficiency in CO2/crude oil systems. An interactive computer program was developed to calculate composition paths in a step-wise manner. The solutions generated explain the experimental observation that addition of methane to a dead oil has little effect on the measured minimum miscibility pressure. They also indicate that high efficiency displacements are possible even when the initial fluid forms two phases.
