CO2 flooding is a widely employed method for enhancing oil recovery. However, it faces challenges stemming from differences in viscosity and density between oil and CO2, leading to poor sweep efficiency. This can result in issues such as viscous fingering, channelling, and gravity segregation, causing premature breakthroughs and excessive gas...

In light of our depleting fossil fuel reserves and the relatively `cheap' extraction of oil and in spite of the highly nonlinear nature of reservoirs, waterflooding has become big business. In recent times, the use of numerical reservoir simulation has not only become possible but has increasingly been used in the petroleum industry in the...

Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (CEOR) methods can increase the oil recovery of a reservoir to more than 60% of the volumes originally in-situ. Typical oil recoveries range from 20% to 40% of OIIP under traditional primary and secondary recovery stages. The understanding of the mechanisms that control such complex processes is essential...
