The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has been the main cause of the greenhouse effect and global warming, with visible consequences, for example, on the climate. One of the industries that releases high levels of CO2 into the atmosphere is oil and gas production. However, this same industry develops technologies that aim to reduce this release, its carbon footprint in production and…
The present proposal is divided into four research lines, namely: 1) Production Optimization (RL1) - Reservoir Modeling; 2) Production Optimization (RL2) - Artificial Lift and Flow Assurance; 3) EOR/IOR (RL3); and 4) Water Handling (RL4). In the Reservoir Modeling plan, the initial application (first years of project) will be in a reservoir with the characteristics of the Peregrino field …

In a scenario of insufficient oil production, with a projected deficit of 80 to 105 millionbarrels per day by 2050 (Equinor, 2019), it is evident that enhancing technologies to increase oilsupply, reduce energy consumption, and lower CO2 emissions is essential. This is particularlyrelevant in the context of pumping viscous fluids, a condition that can significantly degrade theperformance …
The impact of crude oil/water emulsion flows on production and processing system istaking attention due to increment of the energy consumption and, consequently, CO 2 emissonsat offshore production. This kind of flow pattern is formed when two immiscible fluids passthrough shearing equipment, such as pumps and valves. The emulsion effective viscosity canbe higher than the oil viscosity an…
Emulsions are colloidal dispersions of two immiscible liquids in which one phase isdispersed into another by shear forces and/or turbulences. In oilfields, water and oil arecoproduced and flow along the lifting lines from the well to the topside unities, being subjectedto continuous changes in pressure and temperature. These parameters may affect thephysicochemical properties of the crude…

The objective of this research project is to assess the risks and understand the causes of the formation of precipitates in lines of injection of emulsion breakers in producing wells. Such a phenomenon can cause the clogging lines and injection valves of this type of fluid. During the injection process, the fluids are subject to great variations in pressure and temperature, which can caus…
Liquid-liquid flows are common in oil production due to presence of aquifers and/or use of water as enhanced oil recovery techniques. The presence of water flowing with oil may cause emulsion formation. Such system is thermodynamically stable and hard to be separated. When there is a high fraction of water in the oil, the two-phase water-oil dispersion may present an effective viscosity h…
The principal objective of this research project is the evaluating and understanding why the clogging in the chemical injection line in an oil well, focused on demulsifiers, which are specialty chemicals widely used in the crude oil industry as emulsion breakers. In the chemical injection process, the physical properties of the fluids can be modified due to changes in pressure and tempera…

Two-phase flows are observed in numerous natural and industrial processes, being composed of two immiscible phases arranged in various geometric configurations or flow patterns. In the industrial case the major focus, since the 1940s has been the gas-liquid flows, common in the nuclear and refrigeration industry. However, with the development of the oil and food industry, liquid-liquid fl…
