Abstract
SWORD is a tool for pre-simulation and screening of potential oil recovery methods. It is based on proven analytical solutions and allows fast evaluation of IOR/EOR methods. Water flooding, miscible gas injection, WAG injection, surfactant and/or polymer flooding are methods that can be evaluated by SWORD: The predictions are based on Dykstra-Parsons and vertical equilibrium solutions and gravity segregated three-phase flow modeling. Multicriterion analysis using artificial neural network approach provides fast assessment of IOR and well intervention methods applicability at different reservoir conditions.
