... base and test brines. Because interfacial tension (IFT) reduction reduces the capillary end effect, in the case where the second brine reduces IFT, the field-scale oil recovery may be overestimated. In the case where the fractional flow curve of the second brine is significantly shifted in favor...

... mobility ratio, we need to isolate high permeability layers. Using both synthetic and field cases, we demonstrate that our proposed method provides superior upgridding compared to other methods currently available in the literature. reservoir simulation fractional flow curve incremental fractional...

... conditions in region "C", the solutions require a constant state (IJ) between initial (I) and injection (J) conditions, forcing a shock from I to IJ by intersecting fractional flow curves, followed by spreading waves or another shock to reach from IJ to J; and (3) the location of IJ in f w vs. S w domain...
