Superheated steam injection in North Кенкияк shallow heavy oil reservoir

  This paper presents an integrated study on the superheated steam injection in the North Кенкияк Field, Kazakhstan. The methodologies cover investigation of mechanisms of superheated steam in recovery, lab experiment, and numerical simulation. The study indicates that the injection of superheated steam can cause rock wettability conversion which is favorable to recovery. The higher the heat enthalpy,...

Application of the mobile metal ion geochemical technique in the location of buried gold mineralization in Essase Concession, Eastern Region, Ghana

  The principle of mobile metal ion geochemistry analysis for soil samples taken from Essase Concession in Nkawkaw of the Eastern Region Ghana, during geochemical survey had accurately and sharply delineated target gold mineralization. Observations suggested that preferentially most metals (Ni, Zn, Pb, Cu, and As) including gold (Au) were located in the top 22 cm of the profile below the interface giving...

Processing of an offshore new zealand complex tectonic environment taranaki basin, 2d seismic line

  Norpac International crew #503 acquired 22.7 km of seismic line off the West coast of New Zealand’s North Island in the Taranaki basin for New Zealand Oil and Gas industry in order to evaluate the subsurface stratigraphy of the basin. The seismic line trends east-west crosses the Taranaki Fault, a basement overthrust that forms the eastern boundary of the Taranaki basin, New Zealand’s most...
