ABSTRACT: Vast amounts of world oil
reservoirs are in natural fractured reservoirs. There are different methods for
increasing recovery from fractured reservoirs. Miscible injection of water
alternating CO2is a
good choice among EOR methods. In this method, water and CO2slugs are injected alternatively in
reservoir as miscible agent into reservoir. This paper studies water injection
scenario and miscible injection of water and CO2in a two dimensional, inhomogeneous
fractured reservoir. The results show that miscible water alternating CO2gas injection leads to 3.95% increase
in final oil recovery and total water production decrease of 3.89% comparing to
water injection scenario.
