Simulation of Wettability Alteration by Low-Salinity Water Injection in Waterflooded Carbonate Cores

摘要: Low-salinity water injection is an emerging improved oil recovery technique due to its simplicity compared other based methods. In this study, the wettability alteration option in authors’ in-house simulator used history match and provide some insights different seawater dilution cycles on recently published corefloods. Two newly proposed methodologies model are employed. The authors successfully modeled experiments enhancing using two scaling factors. study also revealed that process more sensitive relative permeability of phase. A linear interpolation for residual saturation (Sor) was proposed.
