A Field-Scale Simulation Study of Surfactant and Polymer Flooding in Sandstone Heterogeneous Reservoir

Abstract

In the current work, three scenarios were considered including water, polymer, and surfactant/polymer flooding for a heterogeneous sandstone reservoir in the Asmari Field located at the South West of Iran in a simulation work. No injection of chemical flooding has been done on this typical reservoir. Most of Enhanced Oil Recovery methods were considered to be water and gas injection in this reservoir so far. UTCHEM was used as a 3D, and compositional simulator to model of chemical flooding process. Sensitivity analyses of vital parameters have been carried out and the results of simulation work were presented.
