Abstract

CCS-EOR has several features being dissimilar to conventional CCS process, which are more complicated to understand and describe in numerical methods. When the conventional CCS is conducted in aquifer, only two-phase system (water and gas) and solubility trapping mechanism are considered. However, four-phase system (water, gas, oil, and solid) should be applied in CCS-EOR because CO2 and water are injected into oil reservoirs, and they cause solid precipitation and deposition of asphaltene that affect CCS and EOR performances and mechanisms. In this chapter, the important features to model CCS-EOR process such as methodologies of hydrocarbon fluid modeling, minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) calculations, asphaltene modeling, formation damages, and four-phase hysteresis model are presented. Firstly, various equation of state (EOS) models are introduced, and the definition and modeling method of MMP follows. Then, the solubility, thermodynamic micellization, solid, and association EOS models for modeling asphaltene precipitation are introduced with some characteristics and limitations. Precipitated asphaltenes may deposit in reservoirs causing formation damages such as permeability and porosity reduction and wettability alteration that affect CCS-EOR performance by changing hysteresis and solubility mechanisms. Therefore, solubility, three-phase permeability, and hysteresis models are described.
