Screening Criteria for Carbon Dioxide Huff 'n' Puff Operations
The full-length paper reviews design and performance data on 16 CO2 huff 'n'
puff projects in the Forest Reserve oil field of Trinidad and Tobago from the
past 20 years. Huff 'n' puff operations essentially are near-wellbore
stimulation techniques that can lead to increased oil recovery by removal of
productivity damage, reduced oil viscosity, increased dissolved-gas content,
oil swelling, and vaporization of lighter oil components.
