Abstract

Summary

Continuous improvement of the performance of reservoir simulators is needed to accurately capture and predict fluid flow in complex hydrocarbon reservoirs. This need intensifies as several enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques are continuously improved and developed to induce new effects on fluid displacement in the reservoir. In this study, an experimental and simulation verification of a water flooding process was reported. The study involved two cases performed at different flow conditions. An in-house built simulator was used to model the flooding process. The results showed that the model could accurately predict the performance of the flooding process for the two cases. Such results indicate both the robustness of experimental methodology as well as the simulation capabilities of the simulator.
