Modeling of Gravity Drainage in Fractured Porous Media using CFD based Software and Verification by Experimental Results, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ayatollahi, Shahabodden (Supervisor) ; Masihi, Mohsen (Co-Advisor)
Abstract
Gravity drainage is known as the main mechanism for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) in naturally fractured reservoirs. In fact, this mechanism is active in gas invaded zone. In spite of numerous researches in the area, the literature suffers from the lack of a comprehensive model for controlled gravity drainage. Calculating the accurate oil recovery and ultimate recovery factor is inevitable for a successful field development plan as well as enhancing oil recovery. To obtain the accurate values of the aforementioned parameters, an accurate model to solve nonlinear differential equations is necessary. To this end, COMSOL, the well known commercial CFD software, has been used for the modeling of...
