The liquid phase viscosity can be entered for each fluid initialized in the component and phase
properties.
In the model, there are a total of 4 producers and 1 injector with simulation dates running from
1976 to 1990 (approximately 15 years).
The order of carrying out ASP flooding in a particular reservoir usually starts with water flooding
to pre-flush the ions and charges in the reservoir fluid. Subsequently, ASP is injected for 3 years
from 1976 to 1979. This is done to ensure maximum sweep recovery due to significant decrease
in IFT between the reservoir fluid and injected fluid. The process is followed by injecting
polymer to increase the displacing fluid viscosity to reduce the residual oil saturation in the
reservoir and to aid in the ASP flooding process. The ASP flooding is concluded by flushing back
the reservoir with water flooding.
For sensitivity analysis cases, the parameters identified that have significant effects on oil
production are surfactant concentration, polymer concentration, alkaline concentration,
surfactant adsorption and reservoir temperature. Those parameters can be varied by revising the
mole fraction accordingly as well as changing the input data at the Rock-Fluid Components
section. Further discussion and results from the CMG STARS simulator will be explained
afterwards.
