  • Operating hydrocarbon wells using modeling of immiscible two phase flow in a subterranean formation
    Patent number: 11066911
    Abstract: Provided are embodiments of operating an injection well of including partitioning a length of a sample of formation rock of the reservoir into length increments and determining (for a time increment) fluid saturations of the length increments based on fluid injected. The determining including, for each length increment, determining a volume of fluid injected into, fractional flow of fluid produced from, and a fluid saturation for the length increment during the time increment. The method including determining whether the volume of the fluid injected is saturated into the length of the sample during the time increment, and if so determining a flood front saturation model for the reservoir based on the fluid saturations and a fluid injection rate corresponding to the flood front saturation model, and operating the injection well according to the fluid injection rate.
