Abstract


Today, more and more often one can find works on the design of waterflooding using EOR technologies, in which at the initial stages filtration experiments are reproduced on 1D models, and then, using the results obtained, a fullscale reservoir modeling of a field or deposit is carried out to predict the effects of the considered EOR. Undoubtedly, the simulation of filtration studies on the core makes it possible to improve the quality and reduce the degree of uncertainty in setting the properties of surfactant and polymer in reservoir modeling of surfactant-polymer flooding. However, this paper raises the question of the correctness of the direct transfer of the values of the properties of a surfactant-polymer solution used to simulate filtration experiments on a core in a model with a cell size of 1 cm to a full-scale model of a field or deposit with a lateral cell size of 50 m.

Key words:

Surfactant-polymer flooding, core, hydrodynamic model, laboratory studies, filtration experiments, scaling, capillary number
