Most/many necessary for the movement of the petroleum to the surface. The definition of tertiary production
No, it is not the definitional of tertiary production. As I pointed out that is a continual injection of heat or chemicals into the reservoir to alter the physical or chemical behavior of the oil. Frack fluids do not do this. In fact, frack fluids have very little contact with oil. Once the fracture is completed and propped the produced fluid is first recovered frack fluid and second oil/gas. There is very little frack fluid that remains in the formed crack, it is largely recovered within a couple of days of the first production. As a consequence, it has no interaction chemically or physically with the oil. As I pointed out this is the last thing an operator wants. The frack fluid must be compatible with the formation fluid (oil and gas) otherwise there is a danger of destroying permeability in the reservoir.
Or that such chemical injection is defined as a tertiary methods: "Thermal injection, steam flooding, fire flooding, chemical injection, polymer flooding, microbial injection, Liquid carbon dioxide superfluids, Water-Alternating-Gas (WAG), Plasma-Pulse"
Look you dense twit, this is not the same chemicals as used in EOR floods. When they inject for tertiary recovery (EOR) the whole point is continuous injection over the life of the well and each and everything mentioned here is for the purpose of altering the physical or chemical behavior of the oil. Thermal and steam lower the viscosity of high viscosity oils, fire flooding does the same, chemical injection as meant here is to create a miscible flood. The chemicals used in a miscible flood are not anything like that used in a frack. Using chemicals that are miscible with oil in a frack would defeat the purpose of whats trying to be accomplished entirely. Polymer floods are also used to create a miscible flood, microbial injection is used to break down oils and lower viscosity, liquid CO2 creates a miscible flood and WAG is a step up from a water flood, continuous altering injection of water then gas to increase sweep efficiency (pushing the oil in front of an immiscible flood front).
Once again the fluids injected in a frack are made up in such a manner to decrease friction of the fluid so it is easier to inject and hence allows for the deepest penetration possible as the frack is created. They are designed specifically not to affect the oil in any manner and are made up to have no physical or chemical reaction with the reservoir fluids (which would be detrimental to the well). In Tertiary production, fluids are made up specifically to alter the physical or chemical behavior of the oil and those fluids are injected continuously throughout the remaining production life of a well. In contrast, fluids introduced during a frack are in contact with the formation for only a few hours, at formation temperature and with benign chemical additives (as an example the term surfactant when applied to a frack fluid is essentially dish soap).
Can you please stop this nonsense. YOu are entirely wrong....there is no room for debate on this point. At some point it makes sense to quit digging yourself deeper, you look stupid enough as it is.
