Abstract

Water-saturated CO2 (wsCO2) injection into oil reservoirs has recently been proposed to provide better oil recovery and CO2 storage than can be obtained by pure CO2 injection. However, the interaction of wsCO2 with oil under different miscibility conditions and injection rates has not been investigated. We inject wsCO2 and pure CO2 at a "low rate" of 0.5 cc/min (to simulate gravity dominance) into Bentheimer sandstone cores at 70°C and at three pressures:14.5 MPa (2100 psia), 11.7 MPa (1700 psia), and 9.0 MPa (1300 psia) to represent miscibility, near-miscibility, and immiscibility, respectively. At near-miscibility, we also inject these fluids at a "high rate" of 2.5 cc/min in order to simulate gravity-viscous transition. The oil phase consists of a mixture of 0.65 hexane and 0.35 decane by molar fraction.
