Slim tube simulationThe purpose of slim tube simulation is to investigate minimum miscibility pressure (MMP)between the reservoir oil and the injection gases. By knowing the MMP, we can ensure thatpressure will be maintained above MMP for gas injection process.
Slim tube (1D model) use in this project is composed of 500 grid cells with 1m of length in Xdirection and 10m in Y and Z direction. Injector is located in the first cell (1, 1, 1) andproducer is in the last cell (500,1,1).

MMP determination: guidelines
EOS was already generated using the appropriate laboratory
experiments.
The fluid in place initially is only oil phase, no water present in slimtube.
MMP between oil-separator gas and oil-lean gas has already
determined. The simulation will only investigate MMP of oil-richgas and oil-CO2.

Slim tube: model description
A very high permeability of the slim tube was used in order to
enhance mixing of the gas and the oil and also to reduce the effect ofthe viscosity gradient.

MMP determination: CO2 injection
The simulation of CO2 injection was ran for different pressures ranging from 260 to320 bar. The table below shows the Initial Oil in Place (FOIP), AccumulativeProduction (FOPT) and the Recovery Factor (RF) as a result of injecting 1.2 PoreVolume (PV) of CO2 at pressures indicated

MMP determination: rich gas injection
The simulation of rich gas injection was ran for different pressures ranging from 260to 340 bar. The table below shows the Initial Oil in Place (FOIP), AccumulativeProduction (FOPT) and the Recovery Factor (RF) as a result of injecting 1.2 PoreVolume (PV) of rich gas at pressures indicated,

Viscous pressure gradient: CO2 injection
The pressure gradient after the gas breakthrough is noticed to be smaller becausethe gas has dissolved into the oil and the oil is lighter. Therefore, since the pressurein the cell depends on the fluid present, the lighter the fluid the less the pressure.
For the case after the gas breakthrough, the fluid in the slim tube is generallylighter.

MMP comparison
CO2 has the lowest MMP compared to rich gas and lean gas.
Separator gas which more or less has same composition as lean gashas the highest MMP.
Initial reservoir pressure is 446 bar which is higher than MMP of allthe gases inject, thus all the gases can be used for miscibleinjection.
To inject lean gas and separator gas, higher pressure maintenancein reservoir is needed.
In the paper SPE 37755, MMP is 375 bar, this value is between richgas and lean gas MMP. The volume of gas injection in SPE paper is1 PV and in this project we use 1.2 PV. There is not muchinformation of the gas injection composition in the paper to becompared with the gas composition in the project.

Rich gas injection: desplacement process
Density plot before gas breakthrough: Miscibility region is located around blue line,The process is multiple contact miscibility with vaporizing mechanism behind the
miscible region and condensing mechanism after miscibility region.

Rich gas injection: displacement process
Density and saturation plot of rich gas injection process at 298 bar (MMP) on grid number 250
1. Oil saturation (So) still at its initial because injected gas has not arrived,
2. After the injected gas reach grid 250, gas is dissolved in the oil and it lighten the oil (swelling) hence it reduce oildensity, then
3. Gas will act as a free gas,4. Vaporizing mechanismhappens when intermediates of the oil vaporize into the gas thus density-saturation of oil
decrease and density-saturation of gas increase,
5. Until it reach miscibility/near miscibility. In the miscibility region, density difference between oil and gas will be verysmall and composition of two fluids will be more or less the same.
6. After miscibility occurs, condensing mechanism happens. In this process, intermediate in gas will move into oilcause oil density increase and gas density decrease but gas saturation is kept increasing because more gas injectionarrive in the grid 250 and more oil is displaced by gas.

Rich gas injection: viscosity and interfacial tension
When miscibility occur, two fluids (gas and oil) will have similar component and itwill act as a 1 fluid thus the interfacial tension will decrease until zero. Oil viscositywill also decrease due to swelling.

CO2 injection: displacement process
Density and saturation plot of CO2 injection process at 286 bar (MMP) on grid number 250,compared with rich gas injection, miscibility on CO2 occur earlier. The process (steps 1 to 6)
is more or less the same as in rich gas injection.

Slim tube test: gas breakthrough
Gas breaks through when free gas in reservoir is mobile (Sg > Sgc). Critical gassaturation in slim tube simulation is 0.075. In case of gas injection, gas in thereservoir is always mobile thus Sgc ~0. To know breakthrough time, look at GOR and
gas saturation in the last grid.
