A 1-D Simulation of Alkaline Flooding Using Buckley Levereth Frontal Advance Theory
Abstract
Alkaline flooding, a chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique, uses alkaline agents to generate in situ surfactants that reduce interfacial tension between oil and water. This paper develops and simulates a one-dimensional (1-D) model for alkaline flooding using the Buckley- Leverett frontal advance theory to improve oil recovery from reservoirs. The model applies non- Newtonian fluid dynamics and porous media flow equations to simulate the effects of alkaline solutions in reservoir environments, demonstrating improved oil recovery efficiency.
