SIMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF STEAM FLOOD USING INJECTION INTERMITTENT

Abstract

This research is about the simulation and optimization of a steam flood using intermittent injection with the purpose to simulate the steam flood method and design the scenario of steam flood intermittent to make steam flood more optimal in terms of gain lower steam oil ratio and higher oil recovery factor. The method used in this research is reservoir simulation with CMG-STARS software. The simulation results showed the difference in the value of steam oil ratio and the oil recovery factors between steam flood continuously (before optimization) with a steam flood after optimization with intermittent injection. The intermittent steam flood injection resulted in a lower steam oil ratio and a greater oil recovery factor than the continuous steam flood.
