EFFECT OF BIO-POLYMER VISCOSITY ON RESIDUAL OIL SATURATION IN CARBONATE RESERVOIRS

摘要

Polymer flooding models for carbonate reservoirs and related methods include the trapping number effect on residual oil saturation. A method for predicting oil recovery from a reservoir using enhanced oil recovery techniques can include simulating the reservoir in a computer simulation (202). Injection of a fluid (204) can be simulated in the computer simulation and an enhanced oil recovery technique can be simulated to simulate the oil recovery from die reservoir (206).
