Influence of Transient Effects on Fitting Parameters to SAG Foam Core-Foods

Foam is a promising means of increasing sweep efficiency in enhanced oil recovery processes where gas is injected into a reservoir. However, the effectiveness of foam is hard to predict due to its complex behavior. Therefore accurate modeling is important to effectively predict field performance. This requires correct foam parameters in...

Simulation of oil down-coning in a single well scenario using finite element analysis

When an oil reservoir is underlain by an aquifer, oil production draws the water from the aquifer upward, forming a water cone, which under adverse conditions enters in the production well leading to high water cuts. An alternative option is to produce above the critical rate from the aquifer, i.e., at such a rate that the oil cone is drawn into...
