METHOD OF DETERMINING THE MINIMUM LEVEL OF ENRICHMENT FOR A MISCIBLE GAS FLOOD

摘要

Docket 840011-AMETHOD OF DETERMINING THE MINIMUM LEVEL OF ENRICHMENTFOR A MISCIBLE GAS FLOODABSTRACTA method of determining the minimum level of enrichmentrequired to render a substantially immiscible gas miscible in a liquidhydrocarbon by observing the behavior of liquid hydrocarbon dropletsas they fall through samples of enriched gas of incrementallyincreasing levels of enrichment. The lowest level of enrichment atwhich the droplet is observed to dissipate in the enriched gas isthe minimum level of enrichment.
