Developing an efficient methodology for oil recovery is extremely important . Within the range of enh anced oil recovery, known as EOR, the injection of polymer solutions becomes effective in controlling the mobility of displacing fluid . This method consists of adding polymers to the injection water to increase its viscosity, so that more water diffuses in to the porous medium and increasing the sweep efficiency in the reservoir. This work is studied by numerical simulation , application of the injection polymer solution in a homogeneous reservoir , semisynthetic with similar characteristics to the reservoirs of the Brazilian Northeast , numerical simulations were performed using thermal simulator STARS from CMG (Computer Modelling Group ). The study aimed to analyze the influence of some parameters on the behavior of reservoir oil production, with the response to cumulative production. Simulations were performed to analyze the influence of water injection, polymer solution and alternating injection of water banks and polymer solution, comparing the results for each simulated condition. The primary outcomes were: oil viscosity, percentage of injected polymer, polymer viscosity and flow rate of water injection. The evaluation of the influence of variables consisted of a complete experimental design followed a Pareto analysis for the purpose of pointing out which va riables would be most influential on the response represented b y the cumulative oil production . It was found that all variables significantly influenced the recovery of oil and the injection of polymer solution on an ongoing basis is more efficient for the cumulative production compared to oil recovery by continuous water injection. The primary recovery show ed low levels of oil production , water injection significantly improves the pro duction of oil in the reservoir , but the injection of polymer solution em erges as a new methodology to increase the production of oil, increasing the life of the well and possible reduction of water produced.

Reservoirs are the main sources of surface water in Brazil´s semiarid region. The majority of these water supplies, however, are compromised by eutrophication. A severe drought in 2012 contributed to significant losses in water volume, influencing the availability of resources (nutrients and light) for phytoplankton. The aim of this study is to understand the dynamics of the functional groups of phytoplankton and the factors that affect them during a severe drought in the semiarid reservoirs of the northeast. We therefore studied the Dourado, Gargalheiras and Passagem das Traíras reservoirs in Rio Grande do Norte from January 2012 to January 2013. The effect of drought favoured homogeneity within the reservoir, in relation to biotic and abiotic variables, notably the absence of water supply given the lack of flow from its tributaries (intermittent river). The phytoplankton functional groups of bloomforming cyanobacteria (SN, S1 and M) dominated throughout the year 2012, in both the shallow and deep areas of the three reservoirs studied. The groups were related to high concentrations of volatile solids, total phosphorus and ammonia, and high turbidity. Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (SN group) was the species with the greatest biomass in the three reservoirs. M group (Sphaerocavum brasiliense) performed better in shallow waters with more available phosphorus. Our data showed that high concentrations of nutrients and low availability of light, besides the stability of the water column due to lack of flow and the system´s high residence time, favoured the dominance of bloom-forming cyanobacteria groups, especially those tolerant to shadow

This research aims to set whether is possible to build spatial patterns over oil fields using DFA (Detrended Fluctuation Analysis) of the following well logs: sonic, density, porosity, resistivity and gamma ray. It was employed in the analysis a set of 54 well logs from the oil field of Campos dos Namorados, RJ, Brazil. To check for spatial correlation, it was employed the Mantel test between the matrix of geographic distance and the matrix of the difference of DFA exponents of the well logs. The null hypothesis assumes the absence of spatial structures that means no correlation between the matrix of Euclidean distance and the matrix of DFA differences. Our analysis indicate that the sonic (p=0.18) and the density (p=0.26) were the profiles that show tendency to correlation, or weak correlation. A complementary analysis using contour plot also has suggested that the sonic and the density are the most suitable with geophysical quantities for the construction of spatial structures corroborating the results of Mantel test

Reservoirs are artificial ecosystems, intermediate between rivers and lakes, with diferent morphological and hydrological characteristics that can provide many important benefits to society. However, the use of this water for human consumption, watering livestock, leisure, irrigated agricultural production and pisciculture development, directly influence the increase loading of nutrients to aquatic environments and contribute to acceleration of eutrophication. Furthermore, global climate models are predicting a higher occurrence of extreme events such as floods and severe droughts, which will create hydrological stresses in lakes. In the semiarid northeast we can see the occurrence of these events, the drought of the years 2012, 2013 and 2014 was the worst drought in 60 years, according to the National Water Agency (ANA). Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the quality of the semiarid tropical water sources, identifying temporal patterns in periods with extreme hydrological events (floods and severe droughts). The study results showed that Gargalheiras and Cruzeta reservoirs presented significative changes in the limnological variables between rain and severe drought periods, with better appearance and in the most of the water quality variables in the rainy season and higher nutrientes concentrations and high electrical conductivity values in severe season, indicating decay of its quality. However, we found diferent behaviors between the reservoirs in severe drought. While Gargalheiras showed a typical behavior of the region, with high concentrations of algal biomass, indicating the worsening eutrophication, Cruzeta demonstrated a colapse in the total phytoplankton biomass, evidenced by the decrease in chla concentrations. This fact occurred because the low depth and proximity with the sediment facilited the inorganic solids resuspension and, consequently, resulted in turbid water column and light by limitation. In addition, the different behaviors between the reservoirs indicate that the responses of these environments problems such as extreme events must take into account factors such the region climate, size, depth of the reservoir and the basin characteristics.

The success achieved by thermal methods of recovery, in heavy oils, prompted the emergence of studies on the use of electromagnetic waves as heat generating sources in oil reservoirs. Thus, this generation is achieved by three types of different processes according to the frequency range used. They are: the electromagnetic induction heating, the resistive and the dielectric, also known as radiation. This study was based on computer simulations in oil reservoirs with characteristics similar to those found in the sedimentary basins of the Brazilian Northeast. All cases studied were simulated using the software STARS, CMG (Computer Group, version 2012.10 Modeling). Some simulations took into account the inclusion of electrically sensitive particles in certain sectors of the reservoir model studied by fracturing. The purpose of this work is the use of the electromagnetic induction heating as a recovery method of heavy oil, to check the influence of these aforementioned particles on the reservoir model used. Comparative analyses were made involving electromagnetic induction heating, the operation of hydraulic fracturing and the injection of water to the different situations of the reservoir model studied. It was found that fracturing the injection well in order that the electromagnetic heating occurs in the same well where there is water injection, there was a considerable increase in the recovery factor and in the cumulative oil production in relation to the models in which hydraulic fracturing occurred in the production well and water injection in the injection well. This is due to the generation of steam in situ in the reservoir.

In the last 16 years emerged in Brazil a segment of independent producers with focus on onshore basins and shallow waters. Among the challenges of these companies is the development of fields with projects with a low net present value (NPV). The objective of this work was to study the technical-economical best option to develop an oil field in the Brazilian Northeast using reservoir simulation. Real geology, reservoir and production data was used to build the geological and simulation model. Due to not having PVT analysis, distillation method test data known as the true boiling points (TBP) were used to create a fluids model generating the PVT data. After execution of the history match, four development scenarios were simulated: the extrapolation of production without new investments, the conversion of a producing well for immiscible gas injection, the drilling of a vertical well and the drilling of a horizontal well. As a result, from the financial point of view, the gas injection is the alternative with lower added value, but it may be viable if there are environmental or regulatory restrictions to flaring or venting the produced gas into the atmosphere from this field or neighboring accumulations. The recovery factor achieved with the drilling of vertical and horizontal wells is similar, but the horizontal well is a project of production acceleration; therefore, the present incremental cumulative production with a minimum rate of company's attractiveness is higher. Depending on the crude oil Brent price and the drilling cost, this option can be technically and financially viable.

Através do processamento de dados sísmicos convertem-se registos de campo em secções sísmicas com significado geológico, que revelam informações e ajudam a delinear as camadas geológicas do subsolo e identificar estruturas soterradas. Portanto, a interpretação dos dados sísmicos só é boa se o processamento também o for. Este trabalho é resultado de um estágio curricular na empresa de prospecção geofísica GeoSurveys, que consistiu principalmente em processar 18 linhas de dados de sísmica de reflexão multicanal de alta resolução adquiridas na ilha de Pulau Tekong em Singapura, que têm como finalidade investigação do solo da baia desta mesma ilha. Estes dados foram cedidos à GeoSurveys para fins académicos, caso em que se inclui esta dissertação. Para atingir os objectivos propostos que consistiam em avaliar o impacto das condições de operação na qualidade do sinal sísmico e interpretação das linhas, fez-se o processamento das linhas utilizando um fluxo processamento padrão utilizado na empresa, com recurso ao software Radex Pro. Este fluxo de processamento tem como mais-valia o método de correcções estáticas, o UHRS trim statics, além das técnicas habituais utilizadas para melhorar a resolução das secções sísmicas como é o caso da desconvolução, a atenuação de ruído através do stacking, correcções de NMO, e migração, entre outras técnicas. A interpretação das linhas sísmicas processadas foi feita no software Kingdom Suite (IHS), através da distinção da configuração interna dos reflectores em cada secção sísmica, estabelecendo deste modo as principais unidades sismo-estratigráficas e identificando as zonas de interface que delimitam os horizontes principais. Foi feito ainda um estudo geológico sumário da área de pesquisa e da evolução geodinâmica da região.

A quitina é encontrada principalmente nos exoesqueletos de crustáceos, insetos e na parede celular de fungos. O biopolímero quitosana é obtido através da hidrólise alcalina da quitina. A despolimerização da quitosana é realizada para se obter um produto com valores baixos de massa molecular. O uso da quitosana em diversas áreas é diretamente relacionada com a massa molecular e o grau de desacetilação do polímero. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram o estudo da cinética de secagem de quitina em camada delgada utilizando um modelo difusivo, considerando a resistência externa à transferência de massa; a determinação do comportamento da massa molecular média viscosimétrica da quitosana, durante a secagem convectiva, em camada delgada; a otimização das etapas de desacetilação e despolimerização da quitosana. A quitina foi obtida de resíduos de camarão. Os experimentos da secagem de quitina e da quitosana foram em secador de bandejas, a 60°C, sendo que para a quitina foram utilizadas duas velocidades do ar de 0,5 e 1,5 m/s. A estimativa da viscosidade intrínseca foi através da equação de Huggins e a massa molecular da quitosana foi calculada pela equação de Mark-Houwink-Sakurada. As otimizações da reação de desacetilação e despolimerização foram realizadas utilizando a metodologia da superfície de resposta. Para a reação de desacetilação foram variados o tempo e a temperatura. Para a reação de despolimerização foram analisados a concentração de ácido clorídrico, a temperatura e o tempo de reação. O modelo difusivo com difusividade efetiva variável, utilizado para analisar a secagem de quitina, apresentou concordância com os dados experimentais, onde foi observado o efeito da resistência externa à transferência de massa, quando utilizada a menor velocidade do ar. A condição ótima da reação de desacetilação para massa molecular foi observada na temperatura de 130°C em 90 min, e correspondeu a massa molecular de 150 kDa e um grau de desacetilação de 90%. A operação de secagem da quitosana causou um aumento na massa molecular média viscosimétrica de 27% e este aumento foi linear com o tempo e a umidade do polímero, apresentando duas regiões. As condições da reação de despolimerização para alcançar 50 kDa foram à temperatura de reação de 65°C, concentração de ácido clorídrico de 35% v/v. Nestas condições a cinética de despolimerização foi de pseudo-primeira ordem, apresentando duas fases.

A recuperação de metais a partir de resíduos é uma actividade ligada à valorização de resíduos que se afigura essencial à preservação de recursos naturais. O tratamento de resíduos metálicos é essencial para o sucesso da reciclagem. O tratamento permite diminuir contaminações com outros materiais, melhorar a valorização e diminuir os custos de transporte. Ao tratamento encontram-se associadas diferentes operações, cuja finalidade é preparar os metais de acordo com os requisitos de processo dos recicladores. A fragmentação é uma das operações de pré-tratamento mais relevantes pela sua capacidade de processamento e pela possibilidade de permitir separar resíduos contaminados com outros materiais. O presente trabalho efectua uma análise inicial ao sector e às tecnologias existentes permitindo introduzir posteriormente o caso de estudo, a instalação em Vila Nova de Gaia da empresa Constantino Fernandes Oliveira & Filhos, SA. O enfoque ao caso de estudo aborda o tema da eficiência energética, um dos principais custos de produção. Nesta perspectiva identifica pontos críticos e estabelece medidas de eficiência energética que permitam reduzir o consumo energético. As medidas propostas foram a colocação de um variador electrónico de velocidade no ventilador principal da fragmentadora e no compressor e a substituição da iluminação existente por iluminação LED. As medidas propostas permitem a redução do consumo específico de energia de 9,39 kgep/t para 8,81 kgep/t. Sendo a fragmentação uma das operações mais relevantes na actividade da instalação estudada, no presente trabalho, efectuou-se a análise do modelo operatório com recurso à aplicação STAN de análise de fluxos de materiais. O procedimento de análise envolveu a criação de vários cenários de exploração no tratamento de resíduos. O objectivo das simulações é a contabilização dos custos referentes ao tratamento dos resíduos permitindo melhorias na vertente operacional, ambiental e económica. Um dos cenários simulados foi a remoção dos veículos em fim de vida dos resíduos a fragmentar, onde se constatou que apesar de uma redução dos resíduos processados, os proveitos por quantidade processada não alteram relativamente ao modelo operatório de base. Este facto deve-se sobretudo aos custos elevados de tratamento de resíduos gerados no processo de fragmentação dos veículos em fim de vida.

The eutrofization is a natural process of accumulation of nutrients in aquatic´s body that it has been accelerated for the human´s actives, mainly the related with the activities of camp, industrial and the inadequate disposition of the domestic sewage. The enrichment of the aquatic´s body with nutrients, mainly the nitrogen and the phosphorus, and the consequent proliferation of algae and Cyanobacteria can commit the quality of the water for the public provisioning, for the fish farming and for other ends. The problem becomes more critical when there is a shortage of water naturally as in the semi-arid area of the Brazilian northeast. Before that problem this work had as objective evaluates the trophic state of six reservoirs of the basin of River Seridó of Rio Grande of Norte and also estimate the capacity of load of match of the reservoir and risk probabilities based on the established limits by the resolution Conama 357/05. The results demonstrate that the six reservoirs are eutrofization, with concentration of total phosphorus and cloro a in the water upster to 50 e 12 μg l-1. The results show that space homogeneity exists in the state trophic of the reservoirs, but a significant variation interanual in function of the increase of the concentrations of nutrients and decrease of the transparency of the water with the reduction of the body of water accumulated in the reservoirs.The results of the simulation risk estocastic show that the reservoirs could receive annually from 72 to 216 Kg of P, assuming a risk of 10% of increasing in more than 30 μg l-1 the annual medium concentrations of total match in the water of these reservoirs. This load could be high in until 360 kg of P a year in case the managers assume a risk of 10% of increasing in more than 50 μg l-1 the annual medium concentrations of total phosphorus in the waters of these reservoirs
