Feasibility Investigation on the N2 Injection Process to Control Water Coning in Edge Water Heavy Oil Reservoirs

N2 injection process is a potential technique to control the water coning behavior in heavy oil reservoirs. In this paper, by using the methods of experiment and numerical simulation, the N2 injection process for controlling the edge water coning behavior is investigated. First, through a visual flu...
