Abstract
The proposed workflow demonstrates the synergy between CO2 WAG and LSW. Built in a robust reservoir simulator, it serves as a powerful tool for screening, design, optimization, and uncertainty assessment of the process. CO2 LSWAG is a promising EOR technique as it not only combines the benefits of CO2 injection and low salinity water floods but also promotes the synergy between these processes through the interactions between geochemical reactions associated with CO2 injection, ion exchange process, and wettability alteration. This paper demonstrates the merits of this process through modeling, optimization and uncertainty assessment.
