This work presents a computationally efficient method utilizing a flood front tracking technique “Adaptive moving boundary” for simulating convective dominated flow problems. The method segregates the reservoir into two regions, active and inactive; the active region forms the c…

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from large source points, such as power plants, and storing it in geological formation. It is a potential means of reducing CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere to mitigate global warming and ocean acidifica…

The first-ever polymer flood pilot to enhance heavy oil recovery on Alaska North Slope is ongoing. After more than 3 years of polymer injection, significant benefit has been observed from the decrease in water cut from 65% to less than 15% in the project producers. The primary o…
