Project Fact Sheet: An Experimental and Theoretical Study to Relate Uncommon Rock/Fluid Properties to Oil Recovery - A Geologic/Engineering Approach

Test data from the 1/15th Wave Tank Tests of the Azura performed in 2017/2018 to validate the power performance and survivability of the Azura Design developed by Northwest Energy Innovations (NWEI) planned for deployment at the US Navy's Wave Energy Test Site. Raw and processed data included, along with test plan, test report, and summary data in the content model: "WEC Lab Testing content Model".

Static and dynamic elastic properties (Young's modulus, Shear Modulus, P-wave Modulus, and Poisson's Ratio) of amphibolites and rhyolites from the TV4100 and TH4100 boreholes at the Sanford Underground Research Laboratory (SURF). Elastic properties include Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, shear modulus, and p-wave modulus. Raw data from the experiments and slides describing the experimental procedure and a summary of results are included, along with a readme file with additional definitions and information.

This file contains the first set of tracer data for the EGS Collab testbed. The first set of tracer tests were conducted during October-November, 2018. We have included tracer data for C-dots, chloride, fluorescein, and rhodamine-B. The details about the tracer test can be found in Background and Methods of Tracer Tests (Mattson et al. (2019)) (also included in this package). References Mattson, E.D., Neupane, G., Plummer, M.A., Hawkins, A., Zhang, Y. and the EGS Collab Team 2019.

The purpose of this study has been twofold. First, by employing radial disks, the effect of flow geometry found in a field application has been incorporated into the experimental study. At the same time, the ultimate measure of preflush effectiveness, the incremental oil produced as a result of the pretreatment, has been chosen as the yardstick for comparison. Second, by combining the scope of several previously reported studies covering a few inorganic and organic preflush chemicals into one study with a single source of rock, the effect of substrate variability could be isolated from the analysis. This work in Berea is considered a foundation for similar studies to be compJeted in reservoir rock, where the effect of different clay compositions and rock heterogeneities can be compared to the standardized case with Berea sandstone.

In these data sets, the experiment time, actual date and time, room temperature, sample temperature, upstream and downstream pressures (measured independently), corrected differential pressure (measured independently and corrected for offset and room temperature) indication of aperture closure by linear variable differential transformer are presented. An indication of the sample is in the file name and in the first line of data.

Performance data of a 1-meter diameter cross-flow tidal turbine consisting of three NACA 0018 blades with two support struts with high deflection hydrofoils. Data was collected at the University of New Hampshire Jere A. Chase Ocean Engineering Lab within the tow tank. Three turbine parameters were varied: the blade materials, blade shape, and support strut position. A detailed description of the testing set-up and data files contained within the compressed HDF.zip file is in the 'ReadMe.txt' file.

Attached are the .cas and .dat files for the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulation of a single full scale DOE RM1 turbine implemented in ANSYS FLUENT CFD-package. In this case study taking advantage of the symmetry of the DOE RM1 geometry, only half of the geometry is modeled using (Single) Rotating Reference Frame model [RRF]. In this model RANS equations, coupled with k-\omega turbulence closure model, are solved in the rotating reference frame. The actual geometry of the turbine blade is included and the turbulent boundary layer along the blade span is simulated using wall-function approach. The rotation of the blade is modeled by applying periodic boundary condition to sets of plane of symmetry. This case study simulates the performance and flow field in both the near and far wake of the device at the desired operating conditions. The results of these simulations showed good agreement to the only publicly available numerical simulation of the device done in the NREL. Please see the attached paper.
