Oil Viscosity: Technically, the viscosity of an oil is a measure of the oils resistance to shear. Viscosity is more commonly known as resistance to flow.

Method for reducing minimum miscible phase pressure between CO2 and crude oil of miscible phase displacement

The invention relates to a method for reducing the minimum miscible phase pressure between CO2 and crude oil of miscible phase displacement of CO2-containing oil deposits, overcoming the defect that the minimum miscible phase pressure between the CO2 and the crude oil is high, so CO2-containing miscible phase displacement cannot be achieved. In the technical scheme, surfactant slug is injected into an oil well at first, and when surfactants are dissolved in the in-place oil, the viscosity of the in-place oil is reduced to the viscosity range of the CO2-containing miscible phase displacement; and CO2 slug is injected under the pressure of 18.00-23.00 MPa, and since the surfactants injected at first can be dissolved in the supercritical CO2, the interface tension between a gas phase and an oil phase can be reduced rapidly due to the surfactants after injection of the CO2, the minimum miscible phase pressure between the CO2 and the crude oil can be reduced, the miscible phase can be achieved rapidly, and the miscible phase displacement can be realized. The invention has dual characteristics of reducing the viscosity and decreasing the minimum miscible phase pressure; the consumption of the surfactants and the cost are low; and the recovery rate of the crude oil is 5-14 percent higher than the recovery rate in the pure CO2 displacement under the same pressure.

Methods of decoupling diffusion effects from relaxation times to determine properties of porous media containing fluids

Novel pulse sequences are used to probe the properties of porous media, such as are found in subterranean formations and core samples. This use allows diffusion effects to be uncoupled from the overall T2 relaxation time of the sample. Properties such as internal field gradient and distribution of diffusion coefficients may be determined. A series of pulse sequences are applied to the media to be evaluated. The series of pulse sequences include first and second windows. The first windows include pulse sequences have varying characteristics, such as increasing echo spacing, while the second windows preferably utilize similar pulse sequences which have very small echo spacing. Apparent internal field gradient distribution and apparent diffusion coefficient may be determined as a function of T2 relaxation time. These properties are readily visualized in a two-dimensional map with a first axis being the apparent internal field gradient or alternatively the diffusion coefficient of pore fluids, a second axis being the T2 relaxation times, and the vertical amplitudes being proportional to the proton population. Other properties which may be determined from use of this method include porosity, pore size distribution, oil and water saturation, oil viscosity, oil wettability, and permeability. Also, a method for determining and plotting a T1-MAS 2D spectrum is provided where T1 relaxation time and chemical shift are plotted on x,y axes while intensity of proton population is displayed along a third axis.

Oil-immersed transformer hot spot temperature evaluation method based on multi-parameter fusion

The invention discloses an oil-immersed transformer hot spot temperature evaluation method based on multi-parameter fusion. The oil-immersed transformer hot spot temperature evaluation method includes the following steps of (1) according to the process of heat transfer inside the transformer, clarifying the definition and calculation method of the hot spot heat source and hot oil area of the transformer, and reducing the calculation bias caused by taking the overall winding as the hot spot heat source; (2) correcting the algorithm of the hot oil area thermal capacitance Cwo and the hot spot thermal capacitance Chs, and improving the accuracy of the time constant tau wo and the winding time constant tau hs and the dynamic response capability of the calculation model; and (3) establishing the dynamic calculation equation of hot spot temperature by considering the influence of time-varying ambient temperature and time-varying load on the hot spot temperature. When the dynamic equation of the model is deduced, the temperature characteristics of the load loss and oil viscosity are further considered, and the calculation result can more accurately reflect the temperature rise inside the transformer. The method can dynamically reflect the characteristics of the temperature change inside the transformer, and the calculation is simple and the accuracy is high.
