Study on Microscopic Water Flooding in Porous Carbonate Reservoirs by Numerical Simulation by Tao Yu, Baozhu Li, Mingqiang Hao, Benbiao Song

“…The study on the flow behaviors of oil and water two phases in porous media and their influencing factor is very important to adjust the porous carbonate reservoir development strategy and enhance the oil recovery. Based on the CT (computed tomography) scanning of real carbonate reservoir core sample, the micropore structure was reconstructed, and the effects of different factors (injection rate, oil-to-water viscosity ratio, and contact angle) and secondary development methods (higher injection rate and water displacement direction optimization) on the flow behavior of oil and water two phases were explored by numerical simulation in this paper. …”
