The subcool or thermodynamic trapping for solvent applications is inefficient since solvent
viscosity is only a weak function of temperature. Another factor that affects the efficiency of …

Thermal compositional simulation requires phase-equilibrium calculations for at least three
fluid phases. The use of precomputed equilibrium ratios (K-values) has long been justified …

This paper presents a detailed numerical analysis of two methods for phase-behavior
computations associated with thermal compositional reservoir simulation. Specifically, we …

Thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) involves the complex interplay of mass and energy
transport processes with phase behavior. Hydrocarbon and water components partition …

Several compositional reservoir simulators based on equations of state (EoS) have been
designed. Yet, few of them can deal with thermal processes such as steam injection and no …

Thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) involves the complex interplay of mass and energy
transport with phase behavior. Hydrocarbon and water components partition across multiple …

A simple and novel approach is proposed to represent the mutual solubility of water and
hydrocarbon components based on equations of state at high temperatures in thermal …

In this paper, we propose a strategy to bypass the phase identification of fluid mixtures that
can form three, or more, phases. The strategy is used for reservoir simulation of …

Storage of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in depleted gas reservoirs or large aquifers is one of the
available solutions to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Numerical …

This work presents the selection of the most adequate isenthalpic flash method for EOS-
based compositional thermal simulation. Five multi-component isenthalpic flash methods …
