The phase behavior is more complex during unconventional EOR as the capillarity effects start playing a critical role due to the smaller...

While 3-D experimental studies of miscible displacement in porous media under static conditions are highly limited, studies on 2-D visualization of displacement processes do exist.

... sensitivity analysis was made first. Fine grids seemed to have no major effect on the process and the ultimate grid size was obtained to optimize the run time. The thermal oil expansion coefficient was estimated from the previous static experiments ( Al Bahlani and Babadagli, 2008 ). During the initial phase...
