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 type ...

since the pressure of hydrocarbon reservoirs drops due to production, in order to keep the production rate constant or increase enhanced recovery, few methods are used. one of which is gas injection to the reservoir. on the other hand, due to reduction in oil production potential of aghajari oil field, gas injection is highly required to pressurize and enhance oil recovery. there is a possibili...

carbon dioxide flooding is considered to be one of the most effective enhanced oil recovery methods for the light oil reservoirs. depending on the operating pressure, the process might be miscible or immiscible. minimum miscibility pressure (mmp) is the most important parameter for assessing the applicability of any miscible gas flood for an oil reservoir. the miscibility condition is determine...

Miscible gas injection is one of the most effective enhanced oil recovery techniques and minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is an important parameter in miscible gas injection processes. The accurate determination of this parameter is critical for an adequate design of injection equipment investment prospect. The purpose of this paper is to develop a new universal artificial neural network (U-A...

the analytical theory of one dimensional, dispersion free miscible displacement of oil by injection gas with nc component has shown that: the mmp is the lowest pressure at which any one of the initial oil, injection gas or crossover key tie lines becomes critical, which means that its length approaches to zero. in this paper, we propose a method for a solving multi component system based on ana...

CO2 miscible displacement is not feasible in many oil fields due to high reservoir temperature as higher pressure is required to achieve miscibility. The miscibility pressure is far higher than the formation fracture pressure making it impossible to have CO2 miscible displacement. However, by using oleophilic chemicals, minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) could be lowered. The main objective of ...

The main purpose of this investigation is to study the effect of near miscible CO2 injection in different porous mediums on both lab and field scales. This effect can be traced by the change of two-phase gas-oil relative permeability curves. In this work, the experiments have been performed on three rock types (i.e. sandstone, dolomite, and artificial fractured sandstone) based on an incrementa...
