... Abstract An Iranian Asmari reservoir with an initial oil-in-place of about 381 millions m 3 (2.4 billion bbls) and a history of18 years of oil production is studied in this work. The field is a typical Iranian fractured carbonate oil reservoir which has a matrix rock of poor quality...

... Abstract Steamflood experiments are carried out in a low-pressure scaled physical model to examine the effects of reservoir heterogeneity on oil recovery. Oil reservoirs are often composed of many layers of different permeabilities and porosities. This stratification can have significant...

... Abstract The impetus for this work stems from the need to predict the field performance of a class of heavy oil reservoirs described as "foamy oil" reservoirs. Foamy oil reservoirs exhibit better than expected primary performance. Foamy oil reservoirs deliver greater primary recovery with less...
