Abstract:A significant amount of oil remains trapped in the deal-ends of a porous network during a water flooding process in an oil reservoir. A deep insight into the immiscible displacement mechanism, effect of rock and fluid properties, and dead-end geometry on the trapped oil recovery from the complex pores is required. We present numerical simulations of immiscible two-phase flow at the pore scale to understand the displacement mechanism in the complex pores (dead-ends and contraction−expansion) and parameters affe… Show more
