A NEW ANTENNA DESIGN FOR IMPROVED WATERFLOODING SYSTEM

In offshore environment, there is currently no antenna available that can be used
without drilling for the oil recovery application which can also transfer electromagnetic
waves to certain region of the reservoir. A curve antenna located near the seabed can
focus electromagnetic waves to the oil reservoir at certain region without any drilling
for antenna. Nanofluid injection along with electromagnetic waves emitted from the
antenna can be used in the offshore field. these nanofluids interact with electromagnetic
waves to recover more oil. This work premise deals with a new curve antenna design
for oil recovery by improved water flooding system. The simulated results showed that
the curve antenna with magnetic feeders produced a 473% and 1978% increase in the
electric field and magnetic field respectively as compare to curve antenna without
magnetic feeders.
