Abstract

Es wird ein Verfahren zum Einbringen eines Gases in eine Erdöl-haltige Gesteins- oder Erdschicht mittels einer geeigneten Leitung, wobei die Leitung in die Gesteins- oder Erdschicht eingebracht wird, und das Gas zum Zweck einer erhöhten Förderung von Erdöl aus der Erdöl-haltigen Gesteins- oder Erdschichtinjiziert wird (Enhanced Oil Recovery), beschrieben.A method of introducing a gas into a petroleum-containing rock or soil layer by means of a suitable conduit, wherein the conduit is introduced into the rock or soil layer, and the gas for the purpose of increased production of petroleum from the petroleum-containing rock - or soil layer is injected (Enhanced Oil Recovery) described.

Erfindungsgemäß wird das Gas mit einer Geschwindigkeit, beispielsweise Schallgeschwindigkeit, eingebracht, die ausreichend ist, um eine turbulente Strömung in der Erdöl-haltigen Gesteins- oder Erdschicht auszubilden.According to the invention, the gas is introduced at a rate, for example sonic velocity, sufficient to form a turbulent flow in the petroleum-containing rock or earth layer.
