Abstract:
CO
2 miscible flooding is complex, including mass transfer, convection, phase transition and other issues. Some mechanisms are not clear and need in-depth study. The static characteristics of
n-pentane or crude oil and CO
2 in different phases were studied by using a CO
2 miscible flooding visual device under different experimental pressures. CO
2 and
n-pentane or crude oil show different contact characteristics under different pressures. The relationship between
n-pentane or crude oil relative height and time is a power function, and the curve at low pressure can also be approximately linear. The dissolution swelling rate of CO
2 vs.
n-pentane or crude oil under different pressure conditions shows a decreasing trend with time, and the curves are negative logarithmic. The factors influencing the relative height of
n-pentane or crude oil and the dissolution swelling rate of CO
2 vs.
n-pentane or crude oil are mainly pressure and fluid properties.
