CO/sub 2/ Huff-Puff simulation using a compositional reservoir simulator
Increased field application of the CO/sub 2/ Huff-Puff process has resulted in increased laboratory and numerical simulation activity. This paper focuses on numerical simulation of the CO/sub 2/ Huff-Puff process in a light oil reservoir, using a fully-compositional reservoir simulator. A simulation model is first validated by successfully history-matching production data from two huff-puff cycles. A performance prediction is then conducted for a third cycle. A number of parametric runs are performed to determine oil recovery as affected by: 1. The number of cycles; 2. The timing of injection, soak and back-production operations; and 3. The quantity and composition of the injected solvent.
