Abstract:
In this paper, according to actual condition of this oil field, we will investigate about gas injection to find an optimized gas injection process for this oil field. Recovery efficiency of this EOR method will be tested experimentally using several cores of this sandstone reservoir. Reservoir rock and fluid properties changing during this process will be investigated. For this purpose, a set of experimental tests based on core flooding tests on sandstones will be designed. Totally, this research will be done in two sections. In phase 1, called problem statement, we will try to get enough data and information about this field to know the problems in this field related to this research topic. In phase 2, called finding solution methods, solution methods for solving these problems will be investigated.
