Abstract

Core flooding experiments were conducted in this research to evaluate changes in petrophysical properties of a number of carbonate samples (limestone, dolostone and chalk). The experiments involved carbonated brine flooding, CO2 enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR), and Water-Alternating Gas (WAG) processes performed under in-situ reservoir conditions.
