M = w / o = [ krw(Sw) / w ] / [ kro(So) / o ]
M = w / o = [ krw(Sw) / w ] / [ kro(So) / o ]
Steam costs are very high and can amount to up to 50% of the
value of the produced oil.
MICROWAVE HEATING
First contact miscible means that the injected fluids mix with
reservoir fluids in all proportions as a single fluid phase. CO2 is
not strictly miscible. It has a vapour pressure very close to the
wet gases and is soluble in oil at high pressures. CO2 takes
time to mix (dynamically miscible).
M = w / o = [ krw(Sw) / w ] / [ kro(So) / o ]
M= w / o = [ krw(Sw) / w ] / [ kro(So) / o ]
