The Water Alternating Gas flooding method aims to improve sweep efficiency during CO2 flooding. This study has screened three waterflooded sandstone reservoirs for CO2 injection to apply the Stalkup Model. An empirical correlation is derived from the Stalkup Model parameters Sorw, Sob, Sorm, and HCPVI to ease estimation of the recovery factor calculation process. The empirical correlation is called the WAG correlation. The hydrocarbon recovery percent calculations of the reservoirs after 1.2 HCPVI were as following; for reservoir (A), the Stalkup Model provided a recovery percentage of 10.00% against the WAG correlation value of 9.30%. In reservoir (B), Stalkup Model calculations gave 6.00% compared to 6.40% from WAG correlation. Finally, in reservoir (C) the calculation showed a 7.00% form Stalkup Model and 6.40% from WAG correlation. The estimated average error for the three reservoirs was 7.4%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
