Reservoir simulation is used to demonstrate the dynamic physical processes of rocks and
fluid properties with high-order nonlinear equations. Currently, different types of simulation …

Petroleum in general is found in sub-surface reservoir formation amongst pores existent in
the formation. For several years due to lack of information regarding production and …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques are regaining interest as high oil prices have
rendered such techniques economically attractive. Thermal EOR processes, which involve …

The development of new scaling criteria for steam flooding process is presented in this
paper. The mathematical development is done by using modified Darcy's law, constitutive …

Accurate prediction of the temperature profile within a reservoir undergoing a thermal
recovery process is a key factor in process design, production forecasting, and reservoir …

Various dimensionless numbers such as the Nusselt, Prandtl, and Peclet numbers, play a
significant role in the analysis of heat transfer in any non-isothermal physical system. This …

Modeling fluid flow in highly heterogeneous porous media is an open research topic due to
the degree of complexities and uncertainties attributable mainly to the spatial variations of …

Accurate prediction of the temperature profile within a reservoir undergoing a thermal
recovery process is a key factor in process design, production forecasting and reservoir …

At the end of the primary recovery phase, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process such as hot
water flooding becomes more attractive to reduce the residual oil saturation and to increase …

It is well established that reservoir simulation studies are very subjective and varies from
simulator to simulator. However, reservoir simulation, as practiced in the oil industry, is well …
