Optimization of Black Oil Model-CO2 Flooding in Low Permeability Reservoir

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper mainly studied the influence of starting pressure gradient in CO2 flooding. The capillary pressure of low permeability reservoir is much larger than the ordinary reservoir, so that the influence of starting pressure gradient can not be ignored. Since CO2 flooding will be widely used in the development of low permeability reservoirs, it is necessary to study the influence of starting pressure gradient. This paper mainly used Runge Kutta Fehlberg Method and Adams Fourth-order Predictor-Corrector to solve the black oil model, which was founded to study the process of CO2 flooding. These two methods considered the starting pressure gradient during the CO2 flooding, and the influence of reservoir permeability and crude oil density were studied by founding black oil model and use these two methods to solve the model. We have compared the production rate with staring pressure gradient and without starting pressure gradient.
