For technical and economic success of miscible gas injection projects, an accurate laboratory measurement of Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP) at reservoir conditions is essential. On the other hand, compositional reservoir simulator is a useful tool in gas injection studies and prediction of MMP. The main goal of this paper is to describe a procedure to generate a three phase sequential t...

Understanding the dynamics of pore-scale multicomponent gas and oil mass transfer across water "lms during hydrocarbon gas injection in petroleum reservoirs is important in the design of tertiary oil recovery schemes at the "eld scale. The water "lms prevent oil and gas coming into direct contact and, for miscible gas injection, delay the onset of miscibility. We use a pore-scale model to descr...

We study experimentally the miscible radial displacement of a more viscous fluid by a less viscous one in a horizontal Hele-Shaw cell. For the range of tested injection rates and viscosity ratios we observe two regimes for the evolution of the fluid-fluid interface. At early times the interface length increases linearly with time, which is typical of the Saffman-Taylor instability for this radi...
