Abstract
A fracture simulated oil recovery test apparatus includes a sleeve, the sleeve positioned within an oven and an oil saturated matrix positioned within the sleeve. The fracture simulated oil recovery test apparatus further includes a proppant pack positioned within the oil saturated matrix, the proppant pack having an inlet an outlet and a controller, the controller adapted to control the pressure within the oil saturated matrix.

A fracture simulated oil recovery test apparatus comprising:
- a sleeve, the sleeve positioned within an oven;
- an oil saturated matrix positioned within the sleeve;
- a proppant pack positioned within the oil saturated matrix, the proppant pack having an inlet an outlet;
- and
- a controller, the controller adapted to control the pressure within the oil saturated matrix.
2 more elements
A process for fracture simulated oil recovery comprising:
- forming an oil saturated matrix;
- positioning a proppant pack within the oil saturated matrix;
- flowing a treatment fluid through the proppant pack;
- maintaining the pressure and temperature of the proppant pack at a temperature and pressure approximating a low permeability reservoir;
- and
- measuring an effluent from the proppant pack to determine oil recovery.
