报告内容摘要：

       CO2 flooding has been receiving greater attentions due to its effectiveness and capability to increase oil recovery rate from tight oil or low-permeability reservoirs. The US experiences in developing tight oil reservoirs in the past decade has shown that gas injection, such as CO2 or natural gas flooding or huff-n-puff, is the only approach that works for enhancing oil recovery from low-permeability unconventional tight-oil reservoirs. Considering the large reserves in unconventional reservoirs as well as 60-70% remaining oil in place in conventional petroleum reservoirs in the world, CO2-EOR will have even greater potential for world-wide application. However, CO2 flow and displacement behavior in reservoirs, in particular, in low-permeability reservoirs, is not still well studied or understood. The recent field observations and laboratory experiments indicate that effects of rock deformation and thermal condition have non-negligible impacts on the production performance of CO2-EOR. On the other hand, there are many approximations or limitations to model CO2-EOR processes under effects of rock compaction as well as under non-isothermal condition with current reservoir simulation techniques. There is no commercial simulator can handle such complicated flow behavior in CO2-EOR processes.

       The improved/enhanced recovery of unconventional reservoirs involves complex multiphysical processes, which have become great challenges to traditional reservoir simulation. This talk addresses the advances in the reservoir simulation of coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical processes arising in unconventional reservoirs, focusing on the application in CO2-EOR and hydraulic fracturing. The presented work will cover the transport mechanism, phase behavior, numerical approach as well as software development of cutting-edge reservoir simulation techniques.
