CO/sub 2/ flooding strategy in a communicating layered reservoir

Journal Article · · J. Pet. Technol.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5163809
A computer simulation study of the effects of crossflow between sublayers of a single major zone of a San Andres dolomite reservoir during injection of a CO/sub 2/ slug followed by a waterflood shows that the crossflow causes a substantial reduction in oil recovery. This loss can be reduced by use of alternate injection of small increments of CO/sub 2/ and water during the CO/sub 2/ slug injection.
