Abstract
Core samples extraction is one of the main processes before routine core analyses. This process consumes time and chemical solvent so, it is necessary to find new techniques and materials to increase the efficiency of extraction method with less time and chemical consumption. The objective of this research project is to use the microwave and nanoparticle-assisted technologies in the extraction of oil in rock samples. The samples of carbonate reservoir rocks used in this research. Microwave heating can be a powerful tool for thermal treatments because many benefits can be achieved as proven by previous research. However, an increase in the efficiency of the nanoparticles assisted microwaves has been demonstrated in the extraction by adding the nano silica with different weight ratios to the solvent used in the experiments and exposing samples to the microwave effect under different powers then comparing the results with that of samples treated with microwave only. The experiments showed that the adding 0.1 wt % of nano silica reduced cleaning time to approximately 70% less than cleaning by using the microwave technique without nano silica; that can refer to the high efficiency of nano silica assistance in rock extraction; Furthermore, the application of multicriteria analysis has been used in the real case and shows that the most important criteria for cleaning efficiency were process control, rock properties and chemical consumption respectively. Also, it was found that the assisted microwave extractor using the toluene solvent—nano silica as a cleaning agent has priority over the other technique for cleaning plug samples.
期刊介绍:
Petroleum Chemistry (Neftekhimiya), founded in 1961, offers original papers on and reviews of theoretical and experimental studies concerned with current problems of petroleum chemistry and processing such as chemical composition of crude oils and natural gas liquids; petroleum refining (cracking, hydrocracking, and catalytic reforming); catalysts for petrochemical processes (hydrogenation, isomerization, oxidation, hydroformylation, etc.); activation and catalytic transformation of hydrocarbons and other components of petroleum, natural gas, and other complex organic mixtures; new petrochemicals including lubricants and additives; environmental problems; and information on scientific meetings relevant to these areas.
Petroleum Chemistry publishes articles on these topics from members of the scientific community of the former Soviet Union.
