Oil recovery performance and permeability reduction mechanisms in miscible CO2 water-alternative-gas (WAG) injection after continuous CO2 injection: An experimental investigation and modeling approach
CO2-WAG injection process was studied using a composite long-coreflooding apparatus. The permeability reduction due to asphaltene precipitation and inorganic deposition were mainly taken placed in the middle and rear of core plug. The permeability reduction due to asphaltene precipitation was higher than that caused by inorganic deposition.
