Gas flooding through the injection of CO 2 is generally performed to achieve optimum oil recovery from underground hydrocarbon reservoirs, and CO 2 capturing and storage. In fact, the second purpose is aimed at reducing the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere and achieving NetZero. Due to the laborious operational circumstances governing the gas in...

... elements were used to resolve the domain. Finer mesh elements were selected for narrow channels and small pore throats while the coarser elements were used for pore bodies. To increase the accuracy of the model, at least 3 elements were used in narrowest throats (Fig. ...

Gas injection is a well-known method for enhancing oil recovery (EOR). The utilization of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) or flue gas, offers the dual advantage of reducing greenhouse gas emissions while potentially enhancing the sweep efficiency in oil recovery. Nevertheless, one of the notable challenges encountered when using thes...

Although the migration to renewable energies is accelerating, for several decades the fossil fuels will still be essential for mankind. More environment friendly EOR methods are a current challenge. Recently, injection of aqueous fluids with low salinity (Smart Waters) had good performance and reduced environmental impact. However, there still is n...

Currently the waste generated from public consumption in Indonesia is very high. One such waste is used palm oil from households and food companies. Utilization of this waste in this research is by recycling waste oil into surfactants which will be used in the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) process. The surfactant concentrations used were 1.3%, 1.5%,...

The in situ saponification of crude oil lowers the interfacial tensions of oil–water systems in chemical-enhanced oil recovery (cEOR). When the interfacial tension is sufficiently low, emulsion phases occur, and the fluid phase distribution in the pore space changes, affecting oil displacement efficiency. This change in capillarity allows the injec...
