Abstract
The paper presents the research of temperature change in the investigated medium during dynamic expansion of gas (CO2) generated in reservoir conditions, diffusion of carbon dioxide into the displacing fluid and their influence on the displacement process. In-situ gas generation can provide a way to control the nonequilibrium fractal state at the interface under displacement in a porous medium. The change from fractal growth to non-fractal growth can be characterised as a function of density and viscosity ratios. This effect is shown in the increase of hydrocarbon displacement coefficient due to the equalisation of densities of displacing and displaced agents as a consequence of the increase in gas saturation of the fluid.
