Abstract

The objective of this project is to use computer modelling groups (CMG) to simulate the data collected from detailed experimental work conducted at the University of Regina into three heavy oil recovery techniques: water flooding, CO2 flooding ,and water alternating CO2 injection. Research into heavy oil reservoirs has increased significantly over the past few years due to the limiting production of conventional oil.
