Pulse injection technology for IOR

This study investigated the effects of pressure pulsing on laboratory SCAL measurements using an unconsolidated and consolidated sand, refined oils and y-ray in-situ saturation monitoring (ISSM). Published literature presented at the 1999 European lOR Symposium has suggested that under pulsed flow conditions, Darcy's law may no longer be a valid description of single phase flow and that suppression of viscous fingering may allo lead to significant improvement in oil productivity.
