Enhanced oil recovery chips can be used to verify calculation models, providing an optical clear surrogate rock. Known geometrical conditions and optical clear chips create optimal conditions to study physical processes that normally occur inside rock formations.
Enhanced oil recovery chips are available in three designs as listed below and can be supplied with or without a hydrophobic coating.
The optional coating is applied on a best effort base, it is possible that some areas where geometries are not interconnected will stay uncoated.
Physical rock network
This chip is designed by randomly placing rock shaped structures on the chip to resemble the shape that is obtained by cutting rock as accurately as possible. This random structure results in throats and channels between the rock structures. This method of random placement does not give information on throat size distribution. For simulation purposes, the mask (2D) design is available on request. However, experience has taught us that the complexity of this structure makes it challenging to run computer simulations on.
Random network
Random network porous structure chip, often used for CEOR and MEOR enhanced oil recovery experiments.
Uniform network
A systematically organized and well-defined rock-pore structure of equally sized pores and channels.
