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

“…It is found from the study that the pores in the porous carbonate reservoirs have good structural connectivity. During the displacement process, the oil-water interface mainly resides at the pore throat junction with a large change of pore size, and the Haines jumps exist in the oil-water movement; the areal sweep efficiency of the water phase is jointly affected by the viscosity effect, interfacial tension, pore structure, and injection rate. …”
