Relative Permeability of Near-Miscible Fluids in Compositional Simulators

Miscible gas injection is one of the most effective enhanced oil recovery techniques. There are several challenges in accurately modeling this process, which occurs in the near-miscible region. The adjustment of relative permeability for near-miscible processes is the main focus of this work. The dependence of relative permeability on phase...

Full-EoS based thermal multiphase compositional simulation of CO₂ and steam injection processes

Several compositional reservoir simulators based on equations of state (EoS) have been designed. Yet, few of them can deal with thermal processes such as steam injection and no fully compositional thermal simulation of the steam injection process has been proposed with extra-heavy oils yet. Those simulations appear essential and will offer...
