SURTEK's laboratory provides analytical and field application services primarily focusing on application of enhanced oil recovery technology.
SURTEK's evaluations use actual reservoir oil, waters, and rock and are conducted at the oil reservoir's temperature so that the study can best represent the actual physical environment. Initial design work includes:
Oil and Water Analyses
Interfacial Tension Studies
Phase Behavior Determinations
Cation Exchange Capacity
Static Adsorption Evaluation
We physically model linear and radial flow to study the oil recovery performance for waterflooding and various chemical enhanced oil recovery processes. These include:
Waterflooding
Alkaline-Surfactant-Polymer flood design
Surfactant-Polymer flood design
Alkaline-Polymer flood design
Mobility Control Polymer flood design
Injectivity improvement
Clay stabilization
Permeability profile modification
Relative permeability
Special core analysis
Imbibition studies
These evaluations determine many aspects of the displacement process such as: relative permeability, incremental recovery, non-Newtonian fluid rheology, chemical consumption, clay dispersion, pore plugging, etc. We have unparalleled experience in these laboratory evaluations. This has lead to our involvement in more chemical flood field projects than any organization in the world.
