Abstract

Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is highly potential EOR method, attractive from both economic and environmental perspective. MEOR is based on the life and metabolism of microorganisms. Wintershall is conducting “MEOR Studies” since 2012. This thesis is part of the project “MEOR Studies” work packages 3 and 4; MEOR implementation in commercial software CMG STARS and field simulation. In thesis are shown: modelling reaction kinetics, modelling MEOR effects, new simplistic approach for modelling MEOR and uncertainty assessment in CMG STARS.

Abstract (croatian)

Mikrobiološko povećanje iscrpka nafte je jeftina i ekološki prihvatljiva metoda za pridobivanje dodatnih količina nafte. Mikrobiološko povećanje iscrpka nafte se bazira na metabolizmu mikroorganizama. Od 2012. Wintershall istražuje primjenjivost navedene metode u sklopu projekta “MEOR Studies”. Ovaj rad napisan je u sklopu radnih paketa tri i četiri koji uključuju modeliranje efekata komercijalnim simulatorom i primjenu ležišne simulacije na pilot projektu. U radu je opisano modeliranje rasta bakterija, prikazano je modeliranje efekata koji utječu na dodatni iscrpak, utvrden je novi simplistički pristup modeliranju te je provedena procjena nesigurnosti u komercijalnom simulatoru CMG STARS.
