Research on the Timing of WAG Intervention in Low Permeability Reservoir CO<sub>2</sub> Flooding Process to Improve CO<sub>2</sub> Performance and Enhance Recovery

In low permeability reservoirs, CO<sub>2</sub> flooding usually leads to gas channeling, whereby a significant amount of CO<sub>2</sub> bypasses the oil-bearing formation and fails to effectively displace oil. Introducing water-alternating-gas (WAG) flooding, utilizing water...
