Summary
Understanding the dynamics of fluids flowing through hydrocarbon reservoirs is extremely important to model these systems. Such knowledge can help engineers to predict the ultimate recovery of oil and assess the applicability of EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) projects. In addition, the resulting mathematical models are instrumental in predicting phenomena such as viscous fingering and early breakthrough. Many chemical agents with various properties (e.g. surfactants, polymers, low salinity water) are potential candidates for enhanced oil recoveryapplications. Each of the mentioned agents has unique properties and requires conditions that need to be analyzed to achieve efficient displacement of oil trapped in reservoirs. Involved models often involve fractional flow and darcy laws.
This special issue should be considered as an invaluable opportunity for petroleum engineers to share their knowledge and support further progress in these fields.
