چکیده

Numerical approximations are considered for a mathematical model for miscible displacement influenced by mobile and immobile water. A mixed finite element method is adopted to give a direct approximation of the velocity, the concentration in mobile water is approximated by an alternating direction Galerkin finite element method combined with the method of characteristics and the concentration in immobile water is approximated by a standard Galerkin method. Optimal order L2and H1-error estimates are derived.

A Combined Mixed Finite Element and Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Miscible Displacement Problem in Porous Media

A combined method consisting of the mixed finite element method for flow and the discontinuous Galerkin method for transport is introduced for the coupled system of miscible displacement problem. A “cut-off” operatorM is introduced in the discontinuous Galerkin formular in order to make the combined scheme converge. Optimal error estimates in L(H) for concentration and in L(L) for velocity are ...

Convergence of a Discontinuous Galerkin Method for the Miscible Displacement under Minimal Regularity

Discontinuous Galerkin time discretizations are combined with the mixed finite element and continuous finite element methods to solve the miscible displacement problem. Stable schemes of arbitrary order in space and time are obtained. Under minimal regularity assumptions on the data, convergence of the scheme is proved by using compactness results for functions that may be discontinuous in time.

Micro-Model Experimental Study of Fracture Geometrical Effect on Breakthrough Time in Miscible Displacement Process

The miscible displacement process appears to be an increasingly feasible method for the extraction of oil from depleted reservoirs. How‌ever, there is a lack of fundamental understanding of how fracture geometrical characteristics impact the oil recovery efficiency in this type of enhanced oil recovery technique. In this work, a series of experimental tests were conducted whereby the n-Hept...

RESEARCH ON CO2 FLOODING FOR IMPROVED OIL RECOVERY IN WATER FLOODING ABANDONED RESERVOIRS

CO2 injection is an effective technique for improved oil recovery in light oil reservoirs, especially for water flooding abandoned reservoirs. In this study, the lower part of Es1 reservoirs in Pucheng oilfield was introduced as the target reservoir. By studying the minimum miscible pressure in CO2 flooding, the reservoir could achieve miscible flooding. Long core displacement experiments prove...
