    Chemical-Enhanced Oil Recovery Using N,N-Dimethylcyclohexylamine on a Colombian Crude Oil
    Research 2019 : October - December
    Diego R Merchan-Arenas, Cindy Carolina Villabona-Delgado

    Oil recovery was improved using the tertiary amine, N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine (DMCHA), a powerful and promissory\nswitchable solvent, in simulated conditions similar to the Colombian crude oil reserves. Firstly, the Colombian crude oil (CCO)\nand the soil were characterized completely. Afterwards, an aged crude-rock system was obtained to use DMCHA that gave an oil\ncrude extraction of 80% in our preliminary studies. ,us, a sand-pack column (soil-kaolin, 95 : 5) frame saturated with CCO was\nused to simulate the conditions, in which DMCHA could recover the oil. After the secondary recovery process, 15.4-33.8% of\noriginal oil in place (OOIP) is obtained. Following the injection of DMCHA, the recovery yield rose to 87-97% of OOIP. Finally,\n54-60% of DMCHA was recovered and reinjected without affecting its potential in the simulated conditions.
