Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) injection is one of the most effective methods for improving hydrocarbon recovery. The minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) has a great effect on the performance of CO 2 flooding. Several methods are used to determine the MMP, including slim tube tests, analytical models and empirical correlations. However, the experimental measurements are costly and time-consuming, and the mathematical models might lead to significant estimation errors. This paper presents a new approach for determining the MMP during CO 2 flooding using artificial intelligent (AI) methods. In this work, reliable models are developed for calculating the minimum miscibility pressure of carbon dioxide (CO 2 -MMP). Actual field data were collected; 105 case studies of CO 2 flooding in anisotropic and heterogeneous reservoirs were used to build and evaluate the developed models. The CO 2 -MMP is determined based on the hydrocarbon compositions, reservoir conditions and the volume of injected CO 2 . An artificial neural network, radial basis function, generalized neural network and fuzzy logic system were used to predict the CO 2 -MMP. The models’ reliability was compared with common determination methods; the developed models outperform the current CO 2 -MMP methods. The presented models showed a very acceptable performance: the absolute error was 6.6% and the correlation coefficient was 0.98. The developed models can minimize the time and cost of determining the CO 2 -MMP. Ultimately, this work will improve the design of CO 2 flooding operations by providing a reliable value for the CO 2 -MMP.
