Investigation of Magnetic Field Effects on Fluid Mobility and Enhanced Oil Recovery Optimization

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study explores the effects of magnetic fields on the electrokinetic behavior of reservoir fluids and their discharge characteristics under varying pressure conditions. A specialized experimental setup was designed to replicate reservoir environments, incorporating a high-pressure column, PVT bomb, electromagnet and various measurement and control instruments. Experiments were conducted to assess how different magnetic field strengths (ranging from 40 to 150 mT) influence voltage, resistance and water discharge across a pressure range of 1.6–14.4 atm. The findings indicate that magnetic fields enhance fluid behavior by improving ion mobility and electrical conductivity, which results in greater water discharge and more stable fluid flow at elevated pressures. This research offers important insights into how magnetic fields can improve fluid transport in porous media, with promising implications for advancing enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods.
