Abstract

Understanding the mechanisms behind the production of oil and gas is essential to any project. One of these main topics is capillary pressure and its affects. Capillary pressure can range in many ways, resulting in a water-wet, oil-wet, or mixed-wet properties. This paper discusses the effects of an oil-wet, water-wet reservoir to one with no capillarity. The inputs are ran on a black oil model with specific properties using the QASR simulator to model enhanced oil recovery schemes in carbonate reservoirs. Upon interpretation of the results, improvements on the development strategy can be made to find the most efficient strategy on production.
