Using multiphase fluid flow modeling and time-lapse electromagnetics to improve 4D monitoring of CO 2 in an EOR reservoir [PDF]
, 2018 Understanding the changes in the saturation within a reservoir undergoing enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is crucial to optimizing production. We debut a novel, multiphase fluid flow modelling code, TOGA, to assist in modeling gas, oil, and water phases ...

Study on Pulse Characteristic of Produced Crude Composition in CO2 Flooding Pilot Test
Geofluids, 2018 It has been observed in many laboratory tests that the carbon number of the maximum concentration components (CNMCC) of produced oil varies monotonically with CO2 injection volume at the core scale. However, in CO2 flooding pilot test at the field scale,

Experimental study of flow friction behavior in coiled tubing
Energy Reports, 2022 Coiled tubing (CT) technology has been widely applied in well cleanouts, drilling plug, and shale oil and gas fracturing. Fluid flow in CT produce a more significant flow friction pressure loss because of the long length and small tubing diameter coiled ...
