Abstract


In recent years Low Salinity Waterflood (LSW) had been supposed as trusty method to improve oil recovery and the most essential aspect is a alteration of divalent ion concentration in reservoir pore volume as a respon LSW. The objective of this paper are to find divalent diffusivity constant (Ca2+ and Mg2+) in berea sandstone by ionsmass conservation equation along with Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) as validation. The study was conducted at 2 berea core having porosity : 0.235 and 0.230 and permeability : 661 mD and 550 mD, we use synthetic formation water accordance to "LN" field property. Experiment was treated by by diluting Ca2+ up to 79% from its original value and  by diluting Mg2+ up to 95% from its original value while other ion were maintained fit to their original value. As a result we got difusion constant 0.0620 cm2.min-1 and 0.2667 cm2.min-1for Ca2+ and Mg2+, respectively.


ABSTRAK

Penelitian mengenai metode low salinity waterflood (LSW) dalam beberapa tahun terakhir mengalami perkembangan yang cukup pesat. Salah satu aspek esensial dalam metode tersebut adalah respon perubahan konsentrasi ion divalent dalam ruang pori reservoir. Penelitan ini bertujuan mencari konstanta difusivitas ion kalsium dan magnesium pada batuan Berea sandstone. Konstanta difusivitas dihitung menggunakan persamaan konservasi massa dan ditinjau secara difusi yang divalidasi oleh atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Penelitian dilakukan pada 2 batuan Berea dengan porositas masing-masing: 661 mD dan 550 mD. Air formasi dibuat secara sintetik sesuai data lapangan "LN". Eksperimen difusivitas Ca2+ dilakukan dengan pengenceran hingga 79% dari konsentrasi awal. Sedangkan eksperimen Mg2+ dilakukan dengan pengenceran hingga 95% dari konsentrasi awal. Sementara itu ion lain diatur tetap sesuai konsentrasi awal. Dari hasil percobaan didapat konstanta difusivitas Ca2+ sebesar 0,0620 cm2/menitdan Mg2+ sebesar 0,2667 cm2/menit.
