Abstract

Summary Spatial variation in permeability can result in a wide range of critical rates in heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs undergoing vertical miscible floods. Such situations provide an opportunity for new design strategies where gravity, viscosity, and forces are used to advantage to improve miscible flood performance. One such design strategy is use of cyclic interruptions in the form of well flow shut-in. Field observations and laboratory experiments are presented.
