Improve oil & gas wells with dynaBLEND™
30 January 2012

Fluid Dynamics™, a division of Neptune™ Chemical Pump Co., Inc., has revealed that its dynaBLEND™ Liquid Polymer Blending Systems can play an important role in realizing the true product-recovery potential of mature oil-and-gas wells. Field tests have demonstrated that up to 70% of the actual recoverable reserves from an oil well can remain below ground because it has become too expensive to extract the product.
With a recovery system that features dynaBLEND liquid-polymer technology, these marginal and/or abandoned fields and wells can be turned into big producers again through an Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) process referred to as alkali-surfactant-polymer (ASP) chemical flooding. During this process, an alkali agent, a surfactant and a polymer are blended together and injected into a water injection well that is energizing the formation. This chemical combination helps release the oil from the trapped formation and flow to the well’s surface. The dynaBLEND is suitable for ASP applications because it has been created to effectively activate all types of liquid polymers.
The dynaBLEND’s non-mechanical mixing chamber also provides an exceptional degree of reliability when compared to other mechanical technologies. The system also features an injection check valve designed for easy disassembly and inspection; it also eliminates many of the maintenance concerns that affect other systems. This HydroAction Technology produces in more than six times the mixing energy per unit volume than a comparably sized mechanical mixer.
