Abstract:CO2 miscible flooding is one of main technologies in both the secondary and tertiary floods for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). In addition, it is also an important alternative for a geological CO2 storage. In the recent twenty years, the fundamental research for visualized CO2-EOR has been launched by using mainly the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In this study, we simulated a CO2 miscible model by using Eclipse reservoir simulation software based on the MRI coreflood test. We modified the numerical model of CO2 miscible flooding by changing the parameters to improve the CO2 miscible flood simulation results. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
