Testing a Thermal Dispersion-Based Upscaling Method for Geothermal Reservoir Simulation

The United Nations’ Paris Agreement forces nations and industries to transition from conventional hydrocarbon-based energy sources to more sustainable and less-emitting alternatives such as geothermal energy. Geothermal doublets are used to provide a source of green heat to greenhouses and residential buildings. In industry, reservoir simulators...

Modelling the effect of oil on foam for EOR: Local equilibrium behavior

Enhance Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques are theoretically very promising but in real life suffer the effects of many physical complications in the subsurface which are yet to be understood in detail. One such complication is the detrimental effect of oil in foam in foam EOR. Current-generation reservoir simulators represent these effects in an...
