Abstract
In recent years there has been an increasing interest in water alternating gas (WAG) processes, both miscible and immiscible. Microscopic oil displacement and sweep efficiency of waterflooding and continuous gas injection can be improved by WAG injection. In this work, by designing various scenarios of water and gas injection, WAG injection and simultaneously water and gas injection, the recovery and residual oil saturation obtained by implementing these methods are compared to choose the appropriate method of injection. The results showed that simultaneously the water and gas injection method has the highest recovery but from economic view, WAG process is the best enhanced oil recovery method to increase the recovery. In WAG method, the values of gas oil ratio and water cut are the smallest, so in this case, operational and process facilities problems and their costs are the minimum.
